Schadenfreude: Rush on drugs

Rush Limbaugh Show, December 16, 1994

"So we're not going to get on--we don't fault these animals for a
lack of discipline, but we get on human beings who are fat for lack
of discipline and you know it and I know it. But here's the thing
that struck me about this. We have alcoholics and drug addicts in our
society, don't we? And what do we say about them? Well, they can't
help it. Why, it's genetic. Why, they have a disease. Why, put one
thimbleful of scotch in front of them and they can die.'

We totally exempt them from any control over their lives, do we not?
Some athlete will spend two years snorting lines of coke. He can't
help it.' You know, it's--it's just--it's not--it's--it's genetic.
These people--they're predisposed to having this addictive syndrome.
They--they can't help--yeah, like that line of cocaine just happened
to march into the hotel, go up to the athlete's room and put itself
right there in front of him on his blotter."

et tu, fox?
interesting that this bit claims that investigators have known about rush since may!

Newspaper reports alleged Limbaugh got the drugs from his housekeeper. But a source close to the investigation told Fox News that Limbaugh had other drug suppliers and could become a target of future criminal probe.

The investigation apparently began as a probe into the illegal sale of prescription painkillers in South Florida that targeted dealers. But later investigators came across Limbaugh through clues gathered in a bust a Palm Beach County (search) in May, revealing him as a buyer.

...

Asked about the culpability of Limbaugh in an investigation which did not target him, the source told Fox News that he could still face charges for having a large quantity of prescription painkillers without a prescription, but said no charges are imminent.

I hope the prosecutor bring it up at his trial.

Thanks for the laugh!
