Rush is doing his de-tox in Arizona, not Florida....

<snip>No detox for addicts who crave daily Rush




Oct. 14, 2003 12:00 AM


The big-time radio host admitted his dependence on painkillers and is rumored to have checked himself into a treatment center north of Tucson. But what about all of the other addicts in Arizona?

What about the thousands of broadcast junkies in Phoenix who don't have the cash to pay for some type of talk-show detox? What about the right-thinking men and women who woke up Monday morning with a craving for their daily Rush and were left to satisfy it with the methadone of a substitute host or, worse, the cold turkey of FM radio.


<snip>Even hosts like Young, however, whose station is known to local junkies as the largest Rush dealer in the Valley, wonder if Limbaugh would have come forward if he hadn't been "outed" by his housekeeper and the National Enquirer.




will rush go home to florida after his cleanup or not?


edited to add a great cartoon:

1. I've been calling him The Fugative...
He was out of town (Palm Beach, FL) when the story hit and he hasn't been back since...

They'll arrest his sorry ass the second he steps foot in the state.

10. Same here, but Sierra Tucson is one of the best rehab clinics.
Several 'celebrities' have come here to clean up. I suppose if you got money...:shrug:

8. Boy, I bet the National Enquirer will try to get a detox worker to squeal
It would be a shame.

:evilgrin:

Caveat: I'm giving Rush every benefit of the doubt he gave Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Howard Dean, Wesley Clark,...

That's where he DID all his drug buying, remember? That's where cops are lined up all along the border waiting to question him!

13. So Rush is in the Sierra Tucson treatment center ??
I'll bet very few people know that? Before.....:) ..Maybe someone will make a trip down and check out how he's doing? Looks like he's trying to hide?

14. I was listening to Malloy's Friday show today and 1 caller...
...was saying something along the lines that if Rush does not get put in jail due to Florida's mandatory minimums there will be rioting from those in Florida (mostly minorities) who have relatives who are in jail for far less. Anyone thinking that might happen?

15. FLorida is in for a bumpy ride...
I believe they have no choice but to arrest him. If they do let him go, I think there will be some massive shakeups somewhere in that state.

Look for the courts to be flooded with appeals based on Rush's treatment.

17. Hmmmm. I'm think of Jeb's "Delay" Defense...
Jeb: I would love to put Rush in jail but all the cells have been taken up by minorities.

16. Uh-oh!!!!!
This speaks VOLUMES!!!!!!!

I work for Premiere, a division of Clear Channel. In the CC Employee Guide, it discusses many things related to drugs (they're against them, by the way).

However, there are references to drug rehab, and the clinic used as a reference point is in Tuscon, Arizona. They actually ADVOCATE this clinic. When I first got the handbook, my wife and I joked about this place, wondering why they'd go so far out of their way to threaten employees about drug use, but then push a rehab clinic on us.

Something tells me that Rush is NOT "voluntarily" in drug rehab....but was ORDERED to do so by his company.

20. "...wonder if Limbaugh would have come forward..."
The article has to wonder if Limbaugh would have come forward if not "outed?"

I guess it was just a coincidence that he goes many years without mentioning it then just happens to come clean a week after getting caught with irrefutable evidence?

26. More bad news for Rush...
The facility, Sierra Tucson, bans cigars from the premises. Rush isn't going to make it.
