So, what is in the future for Rush? I think that his star will begin to decline
Filthy, I've got to agree, but only because he's become old news. He's an entertainer that gets his ratings by stirring up angry white men. His problem is that he's no longer the only rooster in the media henhouse. People will eventually tire of his pompous postulating and his refusal to debate, and go after his more firey brethren.
Now, as far as his drug problems go, I've seen that same scenario play out with Coke back in the '70's & '80's enough times to realize the truth of it. Plus, his love of being the center of attention sets him up as the party guy in his five star restaurant, Cuban cigar world. Being that pompous and self-agrandizing requires a bit of work. |

Found this on-line the today, thought y'all might enjoy it:
It's titled If Bill Clinton were an addict, here's how Rush might spin it
Somewhere in a parallel universe, where we are the same people but things have happened in slightly differently ways, Rush Limbaugh greets his loyal listeners this morning.
"Lots to talk about today. You all know already that Bill Clinton, our former president, has admitted an addiction to prescription drugs.
"It's interesting to see the way the liberal media are playing this. I'm looking at a copy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Saturday, October 11th, edition - the day after the big announcement. Well, the story is on Page 2, and right next to his photograph, in large boldface print, is the following quote: 'I take full responsibility for this problem.'
"That's interesting, folks, because if you look at his actual statement - not what the liberal media say he said, but what he really said - you get a different take on it. First, he says he's got back problems. So he's blaming it on that. Then he says he had surgery, but the surgery wasn't successful. So he's blaming it on the doctors. Then he says the pain medication was addictive. So he's blaming it on the pharmaceutical companies. Folks, he blames it on everybody but himself! But as long as he puts in that obligatory line about taking responsibility, that's what the liberal media are going to grab: Clinton takes full responsibility!
"Here's another interesting thing in his statement. I love this one. He says a lot of athletes have admitted drug problems and have been treated like heroes. Huh? Can you name one athlete who admitted a drug problem and was then treated like a hero? How about Darryl Strawberry? Maybe liberals thought Strawberry was a hero, but I don't think most of us felt that way. And then Clinton says, 'I refuse to let anyone think I'm doing something heroic here.'
"You want to know what that's about? He's telling his friends in the liberal media how he wants this thing played. He wants to be called a hero for admitting his problem. That's why liberals confuse so many people. They mean the opposite of what they say.
"And I'm telling you folks, the liberal media are going to do it. He's going to be a hero. I can already see the spin on this: Clinton accepts responsibility! Doesn't blame others!
"I know you don't believe me - 'Rush, not even the liberal media can pull that one off!' - but just watch. I'm telling you. Just watch.
"Another thing. I heard him on the radio the other day. He was whimpering, 'I want to tell you about this because you're like family to me.' If there are any liberals out there listening, I'd like to ask you this: Weren't you people like family six weeks ago? How about six months ago? Two years ago? But he didn't feel the need to tell you then, did he? So why now? You think it could be because he's been caught? Because his high-priced attorney has told him he'd better act remorseful?
"Speaking of getting caught, have any of you read about those tapes and e-mails the cops have? Heh, heh, heh. You won't read them in the mainstream press, or hear about them on the Clinton News Network, but they're a hoot. He sounds like he's auditioning for a part in the next Cheech and Chong movie. He calls money "cabbage," and he refers to his favorite pills as "blue babes." It's always interesting to hear the way somebody talks when he thinks nobody is listening.
"I know what liberals are going to say: 'This is a time for compassion.' Let me be very clear about this, folks. I have compassion. But my compassion is for all the people who believed in the guy. He was their shining star. He could do no wrong. But you know something? I probably don't have to worry. Because his followers are going to still believe in him. That's the thing about liberals! You can't convince them! You can show them the facts. You can say, 'Look, here is what he really said, and here is what he really did,' but they don't want to know the truth. That's the big difference between them and us. Liberals are afraid of the truth."

I don't think a whole lot is going to come of the drug bust (he's not busted as yet, is he?). However, he has ('Aledgedly'! Gotta be PC, here) committed numerous counts of a state Class Three felony, if what I've read is correct.
Having had time to think about it, I find myself becoming a little less symphetic. This man is a multi-millionair. If he were serious about kicking the shit, he could have easily afforded the best re-hab, physisians, and counseling. I'm beginning to wonder if his previous visits to re-hab were not simply dry-outs; attempts to cut his tolorence a little.
There might be some small benefit from this episode. It will, perhaps, call some small attention to the idiotic 'War on Drugs' that is foolishly filling our prisons with nonviolent dopers; space that could be better used for real criminals.
Nah, probably not.

I find myself almost giddy that I have lived long enough to see Rush Limbaugh exposed as a bigoted hypocrite. Now his most devout backers will make any excuse because his shame is also theirs...deep down. I can't even feel sorry for a man who clutches at the excuses he would deny any other human being. Rush Limbaugh is not one of those people. He is a real victim and not someone pretending in order to gain some degree of merciful justice.
I say we only look to Rush's own words to know what he deserves. His audience, if they are true to their own morals, will most certainly agree that nevermore should Rush see the light of day. No, Rush Limbaugh deserves little more than to be some cell block's bitch each and every night for the rest of his life. Rush demanded such justice and I think it fitting that he meets the same fate he would have demanded for anyone else.
Gagging nightly on other inmate's ejaculate is the greatest tribute Rush could offer to his ideological partners. I'm sure those that would condemn someone to a fate are willing to meet it themselves rather than betray all that they believe.

For some amazing reading......makes you wanna drive the porcelain bus.....
Why We're Honoring Rush Limbaugh
Such barf as :
Few Americans in recent memory have done more on a daily basis to sustain and invigorate a healthy public opinion in this country than Mr. Limbaugh, known fondly to us all as "Rush."
In an overwhelmingly liberal media, Rush has brought to unprecedented millions of listeners a conservative point of view, year in and year out, on virtually every significant issue, trenchantly, intelligently, wittily, and inimitably.
All the more reason, we say, for friends and fans of Rush to come together to welcome him back to the good fight, honor him for his remarkable contributions, and wish him many more years of broadcasting the conservative truth "across the fruited plains." |

Oh. My.
In what alternative universe is a racist, classist, smirking, cigar-smoking drug addict a hero?
If I hear the phrase "liberal media" ONE MORE TIME, I'll hurt someone. I swear I will.
Are these conservatives for real? Do people HONESTLY think like this?
Gahhh.

OK, the thread title had this stuff rolling around in my head and I just had to say it.
Free Rush Limbaugh!! You just pay for shipping!! Just plop down $1,500 in postage and handling and we'll ship him to you. International orders cannot be filled as he is marked HAZMAT and is dangerous to truth, justice, and the American way.
CALL NOW!!!!!
OK. back on topic.
Rush was a complete hypocrite. He took one fact and then took it to an extreme and illogical conclusion. By way of proof he offered nothing more than conspiracy theories about the existance and operation of a Left Wing Liberal Press and insulting his opponents. He would offer no wittier repartee than to act incredulously that someone would actually disagree with him and then question that person's patriotism.

That would be a pretty good combination. They could compare their adventures in chemstry, and collaborate on works of fiction.
