An old news story. But a reminder that Rush is losing weight again so we know what's going to happen.

3. Same story, different drug
Look at the man. Not only is he losing weight rapidly, he can't sit or stand still, he's talking faster, the paranoia is increasing, the grandiosity is increasing, and his enthusiasm is boundless.

I smell uppers.

6. He obviously didn't kick it...
I feel sorry for any drug abuser... the first time.

When you have help... when you have good health care, as I'm sure he does... when you have "huge" audiences and are sponsored on so many high powered signals and STILL can't be in control of yourself, then it looks like you've burnt all your bridges when you do it over and over again, shitting all over humanity and looking forward to tying the next one on.

I keep thinking of Dean Wermer in Animal House.. "Fat, Drunk and Stupid is NO way to go through life, young man." I sympathize for weight problems, but the initial falling off the wagon, and repeated abuse of this stuff is getting old... COME ON.

This creep needs to be perp walked and behind bars for his drug abuse, then in rehab for his racist bigotry, and for being a fucking wise guy.

7. This is an interesting line of speculation,
Edited on Sun Nov-01-09 11:06 PM by existentialist
Similarly there are interesting lines of speculation from his having gotten caught with prescribed viagra under his physician's name after he came back from a business trip to the Dominican Republic. (The Dominican Republican having a reputation for child prostitution and the particular business of the trip not having been specified).

In both cases I think the evidence comes of short of the standard of probable cause. But in both cases I think it meets the lesser standard of reasonable suspicion.

Reasonable suspicion does not support a search warrant, but it does justify further surveillance and observation, and, in appropriate circumstances a traffic stop and a pat down search.

Of course Rush has much of this bought off so on what is known so far it's not likely to happen. But, if he truly has an ongoing and likely increasing addiction problem, then it would indeed be a matter of time.

8. The thing aboiut the story that was overlooked, and apparently by
FL narc's as well, is hat buying thousands of pills with cigar boxes of cash is trafficking.

All that came out of this was his "Doctor Shopping"....and for that, he got off w/probation.

If any of us showed up w/ a $20 bill and tried to buy a few pills, we'd be hauled off immediately....Limbaugh had thousands of dollars in cigar boxes and received large bags of pills that were supposed to be "destroyed" as they were near their expiration dates.

I wonder how many people in prison right now would have requested treatment over prison? Then again, someone has to "pay" for that treatment. Limbaugh's insurances company paid a good portion, using ohter peoples money from the pool he's in....in other words, Limbaugh, with al of his millions, had others pay for his treatment.

The whole thing disgusts me to no end. He should be facing 100 years for drug trafficking...but his "housekeeper" went back to South America.
