ORIGINAL: SternSkipper Rush Limbaugh is a Oxycontin dealer who takes pockets full of viagra on vacation to countries where he can have sex with minors. Guess you found yourself a role model there, eh sani? You are getting worse, sport. Limbaugh was a consumer, not a dealer. He was an addict and developed into an addict because of extreme pain he was suffering. I have represented a couple of dozen people just like him. People that get prescriptions from multiple pharmacies, people who buy it off of the street and even people that stole pages out of a doctor's prescription pad. He IS an addict...like an alcoholic. You know what disgusts me about you liberals? You want all of this compassion for the weak who are generally just lazy. You want tax dollars to support people and essentially indemnify them from their own poor choices that we now have to pay for. But then when it comes to someone who slipped into addiction but has a different political perspective than you, well...that guy is a piece of shit and should be castigated. In that way, you are a very repugnant person. Before you say more disparaging things about Limbaugh, he has had a greater impact on society than you ever will. He is respected by more people than you will ever even know or come into contact with. His success could not be equaled by you if you lived 50 times and had the benefit of coming back as yourself to pick up where you left off. The bottles of wine he is able to order and pay for with the cash in his pocket cost more than your boat. If you think I am being a prick towards you....I'm not. Don't feign compassion to support confiscatory taxation and then excoriate that kind of people you would normally argue for just because they have a different political perspective and world view. You are patially right locked. He WAS just a consumer. The problem most folks have with Rush is his hypocricy. He was ranting on the radio about "White collar addicts need to be sent up the river" and going home day after day to take a handfull of the pills he was addicted to. Had he done what Brett Favre, who was also addicted to pain killers at the same time and for the same reason did, I feel he would have been MUCH more respected by conservatives, accepted by moderates and not as castigated by liberals. Man up, admit you have a problem and say "Hey folks, this thing is bigger than me so I'm going to have to take some time off and get better". Did Rush do that? No. he took a page out of the "Hillary Clinton Playbook" and started talking about a vast left wing conspiracy to discredit him. The left didn't discredit him. His own words discredited him. Hell, he even had the ACLU defending him. Whatever happened to that old conservative maxim of manning up and taking responsibility for one's own actions instead of "blaming others"?
