4. Now, really...
...how do you expect Rush to keep up on his property taxes when he's scarfing up how much illegally-obtained painkillers? Enough to kill an elephant, wasn't it?

5. Holy cats, that's sweet.
Rush is a drug addict and a tax cheat! Good news all around.

BTW, aren't you from Nashville, and didn't you say in another thread a few weeks ago that you were a Shudder To Think fan? If so, I gotta tell ya, HI! and they're one of my favorite bands, too!

6. Damn, I thought you were talking about the band, a new album maybe
It's nice to know that guys in their 50s can still rock the house, eh?

But instead you're posting about the fat junky blowhard. How depressing.

14. I guess that hand sign...
is the amount of property taxes he pays annually. At $80 million + a year, you'd figure property taxes would be the least of his problems.

11. From the Newsweek cover story on him
Here's stuff I picked up:

Married twice. On third wife who he got through an internet service.

Women who dated him say they would never date him again because all he did was talk about himself.

Was a guest speaker at an event. Introduced his wife. Forgot she was on stage. Began his ranting and someone in the audience had to remind him his wife was there.

Mother said he sat alone in his room most of the time. At Haloween he wouldn't go out but would drop water balloons on the kids who came to the door. Friend said he would always find him alone in his dark room with his radio and his tape recorder.

Reporters say that as he leaves the mike, he begins to "shrink" and pull away from people and crawl into a shell. They say he has no friends. He likes to lie on the couch and watch football all day and cannot stand to do anything else.

Yep, just the kind of well balanced guy you want on the air waves telling people how to live, how to vote and what to believe in. This bastard needs a lot more than drug rehab. This boy sounds like the Son of Sam---with money.

13. This is crass
I don't care how you feel about Rush. Posting a mans tax information, or private financial information is just plain crass.

Speaking as someone who has recovered from financial difficulty, I can vouch for how gut-wrenching it is when you need to struggle to pay the mortgage. Posting this kind of thing just to poke fun at the man should be beneath us.

Rush's drug-use is fair game because he was a hypocrite. But I don't ever remember Rush making fun of people who fell into bankruptcy.

At the risk of being a stick-in-the-mud, I think the moderators should lock this thread.

15. Private?
Your argument of bad taste is valid, but the reason this info is so readily available on the Web, is that it's a matter of public record.

16. Not so...
Rush is always talking about personal responsibility.

It is one thing if you or I have problems and find ourselves on the crummy end...it is something totally different when someone talks about meetin personal responsibility for the masses, but then shirks it himself. We call this hypocrisy.

If I made $80 million + a year, a few hundred grand would not burn me to keep my home. It all comes down to walking the walk, not demanding others to do it on considerably less.

I hope Marta tosses his ass out and gets the house.
