Two very bad signs for Rush
Heard the snipets on radio and TV today.

First bad sign is that Rush is not taking responsiblity for his drug addiction and calling it "addition to pain killers" is not going to erase the fact that he was invovled in illegal drug trafficing. But the first real bad sign for Rush is his statement:"...the terrible addiction this drug has over me." "THIS DRUG HAS OVER ME?" This use of the passive voice indicates that he is blaming the drug...not his own behaviors. It's like Reagan saying "Mistakes were made."

The second bad sign, if you can believe the National Enquirer" is that Rush kept making attacks on the Clintons while in rehab. This indicates a very unhealthy "obsession" for "el-Rushbo." If you read the comments, they indicate some kind of unhealthy latent sexual problem which seems to be driving him...almost like he worships the Clintons' private parts because he can't stop talking about them. I don't know about the rest of the DUers, but this is really a dangerous obsession...dangerous not only for Rush but for his brain-dead dittoheads. If he keeps on, he could drive one of his followers to do something harmful to the Clintons.

The fact that Rush is the embraced icon of Republican conservative cabal really shows you how dangerous they all are...they are driven by unnatural obsessions over the sex lives of their opposition and we all know what Hitler did with his sexual fantacies and obsessions.

I have always felt he had an obsession with the Clintons...

2. Wingers are seriously co-dependent
They're unable to define themselves outside what they "hate" and so they hated the Clintons, and they hated the "liberal media" and they hate the "Welfare Queens" and they hate the blacks and they hate the poor and they hate the Muslims and they hate the people who had the audacity to build a nation on top of our oil!

And none, or very few of them, have any sort of perspective on their unhealthy obsessions. Their only recourse is to try to convince you that they're right.

Denial - it's not a river in Egypt.

21. Not co-dependent, dependent
DLC is the co-dependent in this relationship. Dependent personalities take the drugs, co-dependents enable their behavior.

3. "Next OxyContin 90 Miles" and "Cousin Marriage Forbidden By Law"
Those would be two very bad signs for Rush... :-)

4. I dunno...
"If he keeps on, he could drive one of his followers to do something harmful to the Clintons. "

I would have thought it would have happened already, especially while Clinton was still president. If it hasn't happened by now it probably won't, Rush's "rantings" not withstanding.

Later,

8. But Rush was just exposed and shamed by the "liberal media"
Since Rush hates the Clintons so much it is possible for one of his nutty followers to think they are doing him a favor... you know, Clinton is the cause of all of Rush's problems because Clinton survived impeachment...if Clinton had been found guilty Rush would not have been driven to taking prescription drugs to alleviate the pain caused by Clinton not being put in prison.

5. The Elmer Gantry Syndrome
This unhealthy fascination with the genitalia of others, most often exhibited by rightwingers and religious freaks, is reminiscent of the Elmer Gantry character...a preacher by daylight but when the lights go down, a practitioner of some of the sickest acts imaginable due to a psychotic obsession with the "moral cleanliness" of others.

The worst part of this is the dissemination of such a sick psychosis to a broad base of followers. Where this could lead, I have no idea...but it's not good.

6. yes- Rush IS obsessed with Clinton's genitals, and I think it's creepy
Apparently the Enquirer is a pretty solid source, at least when it concerns this particular story- it has all been true so far.

In that light, I have no reason to believe that the reports are not valid- that he is still moaning and sighing over Clinton, as he always has...

He needs help, seriously, I would not wish this bizzare Clinton/penis/sex obsession coupled with Hard narcotics abuse/addiction on even Rush- what a poor bastard.

7. Actually, I think that is all very GOOD news
He is a sick sick sick man, from his tiny head to his fat ass to his two right feet.

Trying to 'cure' a heroin addiction in a 30 day kumbaya is fantasy.

If he hasn't relapsed yet, from what I'm hearing him say now, he will very very shortly.

And he'll pick up where he left off. It'll take dozens of those hill billy heroin pills to get him off.

He'll be dead soon. And one godawful, evil, useless, fat, demented, destructive person will be in his grave by his own hand. And the world will breathe a collective sigh of relief.

11. Ever notice Rush never appears in short sleeves? Needle tracks??
It's nothing to cook up a few of those "Trailer-park Smack" pills and drive them home with a silver lady-

Most addicts do reach that point if unchecked...

I'm not making any accusations, but shooting up is a natural progression common amongst narcotics addicts, and I have not seen any recent photo's of Rush in short sleeves...

12. You know, I hadn't thought of that, but you're right.
I read somewhere that the average life expectancy of a junkie was four years from the onset of addiction. Maybe we'll luck out and Rush will do an Elvis.

16. Rush is the 70's Elvis of RW radio...
...and I say that as a HUGE Elvis freak.

Elvis was a shadow of himself by the mid-to late 70's, a pathetic parody of a once towering and genre defining career...Rush is similar...

I'm almost sad that Rush will meet the same fate...

Look, I dont wish ill will of this sort on anyone, but then again, my preacher did once say that "you reap what you sow"...

At best, Rush will beat this, and stop denying that his hate and habits are destroying him...I have a hard time seeing it though...

24. That's an average. You know what averages are
Take the people who've been shoving heroin for the past ten years, add the people who shove a lethal OD in the first few attempts, and you get the four years.

For every Keith Richards, there's a Len Bias. (And yes, I know cocaine killed Len.)

31. I'd imagine that he's probably on methadone.
He mentioned Vioxx...but that AIN'T gonna cut it...and you can't drink liquor when you take it, unless you happen to have dibs on a spare liver.

Unless of course she wants to renegotiate that whole "hush money" thing.

Why oh why am I so cynical? Can't I see they married for love?

Uh, no.

32. There's was a childless (sexless??) marriage, as were his other 2
His other two marriges were childless(sexless??) as well.

Either she was his beard, or the narcotics addiction caused his penis to be flacid/impotent...

Perhaps this is why he had "penis envy" over Clinton????

19. Is it genetic, are the neo-cons a seperate specie?
YES!! YES!! YES!!

Homo Bureacratis Americanus: Def. A creature totally evolved after birth that abreacts to his/her true self through obsessive compulsive defense mechanisms like displacement, projection, denial, transferance facilitated by the original lie about the "Original Sin" of Judeo/Christianity and the bearded old fart that created the earth in 7 days and nights......Oh, mother of God.......WE're forked, forked, forked.
:scared:

PS. How did the Nat. Enquirer get into Rush's rehab sessions?

I know its none of our business, but who gives a fuck about this anal cysts privacy, he sure as fuck doesn't care about ours.

23. At my other MB I heard a wingnut actually say
that Rush has gone over the top. He said he just wants shock value anymore. I agreed completely and that might be a first for me.

25. I will certainly agree that Limbaugh has problems to resolve...
(who doesn't). I recall a couple of years back, that he actually said on the air, (paraphrasing here), that it was the 'responsibility of a good American" to assassinate Clinton. Pretty sick stuff.

I may hate bush, but I would never all for his assassination. Just shows you where the great morality lies.

:grr::nopity: for the Lump.

26. He went into that prissy/lispy speak a great deal...very odd
I listened to him today and you are right on target. It was very disturbing listening to him. He sounded at times like he was going to loose it. Also that prissy/lispy speak he uses when he's imitating a liberal, I think he does like speaking like that. He is truly disturbed.

28. Fear of national instability?
"dangerous not only for Rush but for his brain-dead dittoheads. If he keeps on, he could drive one of his followers to do something harmful to the Clintons."

When I listen to hate radio, their choice of words, I really wonder if they are trying to instigate another civil war. When they don't get their way, it is amazing the advice given to their listeners, paraphrasing, statements like "we will take matters into our own hands", etc. I sometimes wonder if the 2000 supreme court decision on Bush's selection was also made out of fear of national instability.

29. When Tammy Faye speaks on your behalf and says "mega dittos"
you know you are among the lowest of the low. It's a wonder a bolt of lightening doesn't strike these people who disgrace the Christian religion. It's just amazing that they have so many followers. But then, Jim Jones got a lot of people to drink the kool-aid. I bet Rush could get more people than Jim Jones to drink poison.

37. Opiate use= impotance !
Its a known fact that people who are taking take large amouts of opiates will lose there sexual desire and the ability , to get Mr. Happy working ,if you know what I mean ! This starts to make his obession with Clinton more clear ,he was jealous that Clinton was able to do something he could not ,enjoy sex ! Now I was disappointed in what Clinton did ,however I still feel this was a private matter between him and his wife ,period !

41. "Symptoms of Withdrawal include : diarrhea..."
Edited on Tue Nov-18-03 01:31 PM by Dr Fate
http://www.oxycontinaddiction.info/withdrawal.htm

Symptoms of Withdrawal include :

diarrhea

insomnia

cold flashes

muscle pain / bone pain

restlessness

involuntary leg movement

vomiting

nausea

severe stomach cramps



Real World Withdrawal Story - "It's pure hell. The hot and cold sweats, leg cramps, some abdominal problems, diarrhea and / or vomiting. You need not only to be de-toxed, but also treated. If you are really at your end, you will do whatever it takes to get your life back. I did. I love life today. Good Luck. The withdrawals are a long 2 to 3 weeks of no sleep. I know, I've been there. That's why it's impossible to do it out-patient or at home. You have issues to deal with, and need reinforcement."

From these facts one could assume that he either prefers the company of men, or that the hard-drugs have made his penis flacid, impotent and unable to please a woman...

43. Yes but
someone who makes thirty mil a year can sure as hell get some kind of penile implant to make the big admiral salute again. But I do think he likes guys. Lusting after Clinton's cock. So with a limp rod he'd have to be the catcher.

40. Hard facts about Rush's hard-drug use (linksprovided)
Edited on Tue Nov-18-03 01:28 PM by Dr Fate
http://www.oxycontinaddiction.info/

http://www.oxycontinaddiction.info/injecting-oc.htm

The most widely used diversion technique at the street level is doctor shopping. Individuals who may or may not have a legitimate ailment requiring a doctors prescription for OxyContin visit numerous doctors, sometimes in several states, to acquire large amounts of OxyContin which they abuse or sell to others.

Individuals who abuse OxyContin by injecting the crushed tablets quickly become addicted. Injecting OxyContin requires a preparation regimen similar to that of heroin. This allows the abuser to receive the full effect of the pure Oxycodone almost immediately. This creates an effect similar to illicit opioid narcotics, such has heroin. Such a regimen requires the removal of the tablet coating by either sucking on it or scraping it with the teeth or a razor blade, followed by melting the remainder on a spoon, adding water, and then injecting the solution. Dissolving and injecting the contents of OxyContin can slow down or stop breathing and lead to death. Injecting OxyContin can also kill the tissue around the injection site and trigger heart and lung problems.


Signs of OxyContin addiction may include withdrawal symptoms when the OxyContin is discontinued, requests for OxyContin at frequent intervals around the clock, personality changes

Continued increases in the diversion and abuse of OxyContin are likely. Reliable strength, potential prescription cost coverage, and significant profit potential make OxyContin attractive to both illicit distributors and abusers.

OxyContin addiction is serious and is very difficult to overcome through out-patient or home treatment.
