Rush gets called on his Patrick Kennedy hypocrisy & can't take the debate

CALLER: You know what, whatever charge comes down against him, it will be watered down, and I'm referring specifically to -- I'm relating this specifically to the watered down charges that you had to face with your problem, which you let get out of hand before you did something about it, and you had money --

RUSH: Wait a second. You're going to compare me to Patrick Kennedy's circumstance?

CALLER: In a way.

RUSH: How so?

CALLER: Because you were brought up on charges --

RUSH: Tell me where they're similar. I had a problem. I admitted it. I went and dealt with it. I have been clean from the painkillers for almost two years and eight months. I went public. There's no cover-up. I sought and received help. I didn't endanger anybody else. In this case there's a cover-up. There's no breathalyzer. I fought this for two and a half years, and they wanted to charge me with much more than they did.

CALLER: Why didn't they?

RUSH: Well, you have to ask them.

CALLER: Well, that's what I'm saying.

RUSH: If you think I got preferential treatment, you are out of your mind.

CALLER: Well, what happened with that housekeeper in the parking lot?

RUSH: I spent thousands of hours and millions of dollars dealing with lawyers. I fought this at every stage --

CALLER: Would you just tell me and your audience, what happened to the housekeeper in the parking lot? Why was that never --

RUSH: You're talking about people who sold a story to a tabloid publication.

CALLER: Are you saying there was no connection, you didn't buy anything?

RUSH: I am not going to dignify the details in that stupid story. The only thing I would ask you to consider is this, Alice. If you want to believe all that was true, how come none of it was pursued?

CALLER: I'm talking about money. That's the whole point. Are you saying --

RUSH: What money?

CALLER: -- you did not meet this housekeeper in the parking lot?

RUSH: I'm not commenting on that, I'm not going to dignify it by doing so.

CALLER: That's how you getting around it.
RUSH: No, I'm not getting around anything. I'm answering your question. I'm not going to dignify such tripe. If you want to consider the National Enquirer as something that's legitimate, you feel free, go right ahead. I just ask you, why was none of that stuff pursued, why was it doctor shopping? But anyway, it's interesting here, you're on all sides of this. I'm trying to show a little compassion---

(blah blah blah-this goes on for two more paragraphs of limpballs alone acting like he's still talking to the caller, whose obvious been muted, while rush wants you to belive that he 'won' the debate)

Hee!

:)

when the story they printed was wrong?

He lives in a more tightly sealed cocoon than even Bush. How in the hell did this get through? Maybe he figured his dittoheads wanted to hear him bash a Kennedy at all costs. He is an idiot.
Vote cast here for greatest thread.

They are people without substance, all hot air. I don't know why people want to be placated with such idiocy - I guess that says a lot about the republican mind (or lack thereof).

klol! i hope the Enquirer gets on limpball's case...it look fukking good on the turdmeister!

of his and Kennedy's circumstances...if not how does he explain there are no similarities?

what a lying sack of shit! He only admitted to it when he was caught.

If the authorities don't know that you're breaking the law.

He was caught, pure and simple.

The lawyers took it from there.

Being addicted to painkillers isn't breaking the law. Obtaining them illegally - like Rush did - is.

The cops were there, right at the scene. No charges were laid. He was driven home.

If he had been obviously drunk and witnesses saw him as drunk and the police didn't detain him - then that's a cover-up.

So far, I've heard nothing about alcohol from either witnesses or police.

over this?

what happened to the housekeeper, huh?!?

Rush is clearly delusional.

RUSH: I spent thousands of hours and millions of dollars dealing with lawyers. I fought this at every stage --

So having the cash to buy your way out of a problem by outspending the DA is . . .

a defense? My head is going to explode.

as if we ALL have that option :eyes:

I don't know how anyone can listen to this blowhard, but it's nice to hear at least that someone had the courage to call and confront him on his own program.

I had to laugh at the poke he took at the Enquirer, too. So what is Rush? A responsible newscaster? Gimme a break. I wish there were some way to hold that creep accountable for all the harm he's done in stoking the fires in our country. He's more than a little bit responsible -- directly responsible -- for helping this administration rape us all and harm people around the world.

Of all the words that describe him, he just proved when he criticized Kennedy that "hypocrite" is certainly right up there at the top of the long nasty list....

Is not "hypocrite" pretty much synonymous with "Republican" now?

And it will hang over them for a very, very long time no matter how they spin it. They forget. No matter how much you own and control, like all the tee-vee media and radio airwaves, people do the damnedest things...

GOSSIP Works in amazingly simple ways. 1 tells 1, then another and another and before long it spreads like butter. :)

Human nature at work I suppose.

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

I'd like to read the other two paragraphs.

:shrug:

that the caller got through...dosn't he have screeners?

I'll bet whichever one let Alice through is going to get a talking to from fathead himself.
