Good, and not because it'll hurt Rush (because I don't think it will) because I think he'll turn it into a cause for making it revamping the Health Care System, making it less costly.

I just listened to the opening of Rush's show. He whimped out on a response to the Drug Charges. Saying he "did not know what he was dealing with" and until he does he does not want to comment. What a pussy. If you're not a hop head say so. If you are say so.

I wonder what all the "Ditto Heads" will think now.

Sorry about the link thing - it was late. Thanks Moe.

The story has been confirmed by more reputable news sources, such as ABC News and the Daily News (well, somewhat more reputable) - in any case, Rush spoke about it briefly on his show.

Yea, there's no chance he's INNOCENT and is playing catch up to get all the facts he can before he and his legal team issue a complete response?

TO be honest I still don't like that he just won't say "I didn't do anything" too, but I will await his response. If he did it, he'll go to court and it'll hurt his rep a little. I'm still gonna listen to him.

If this is confirmed, that he was buying pills, in a couple months he'll be on Oprah talking how the "wake up call changed my life" and pass it off as an inspirational story.

Can we all remember something! Regardless of how Rush is acting, this is a NATIONAL ENQUIRER story. That's enough to assume that this story is untrue. The story was repeated in the NY Post, only a marginally more respected publication. Can we give the guy a break until we have SOMETHING from another source about this?

It should be noted that his alleged crime is a felony, so should be be convicted or plead guilty, I can't see it as a simple problem he could dispose of with an Oprah visit.

The National Enquire, while usually an entertaining piece of shit, was almost dead on in their coverage of the OJ Simpson case. They really had the scoop on most newspapers.

That being said, I don't really care if he's a drug addict or not.

From dcrtv.com:
Rush Gets Detox - 10/10 - Rush Limbaugh announced at the end of his Friday show that he's immediately checking himself into a drug rehabilitation center to cure his addiction to prescription painkillers. He'll be off the air for the next month. Last week, press reports indicated that Florida law enforcement officials are investigating allegations that the radio talk show host illegally bought massive amounts of OxyContin, Lorcet, and hydrocodone via a black market connection with a former housekeeper. Strangely, Rush made this statement at the beginning of his Friday show: "A criminal is a criminal, and there's nothing you can do to change them." Go figure.....

HA HA!

Hope he gets some right wing detox while he is at it.

I want to hear tape of the show to hear if he broke down on the air. Not that I pollute my ears with his filth or anything but maybe he will stay off for good.

seriously how do we accept this. the guy goes off regular about the drain on society that criminals and drug users are, yet he is both and we are just supposed to feel sorry because he has an addiction. why dont we call him a scum bag like he calls everyone that isnt him but is like him.

Just can't wait for the biggest one of them all to fall. Soon and then I can rejoice!

I am listening on the radio to some of the stuff that this OxyContin can do to people and it ceertainly does sound pretty messed up. I guess thie explains Rush's weight loss and incessant rambling and sounding like an ass over the years. This stuff sounds like heroin!

Admitting to the addiction was pretty much the smartest thing to do.

Given the mentality of our culture, the controversy is a lot more likely to die down, and a lot quicker, as soon as someone cops to their wrongdoing. It sort of takes the fun out of ruining their lives trying to find the truth.

maybe, but people done seem to wanna get on him cause he is an addict. people wanna give him shit cause of all the bad things he said about addicts while he himself is one.

its the hypocrisy of it all. if he didnt bad mouth it and say things like all drug addicts should be sent to europe, then id feel for the guy. because he was insensitive about it, ill be insensitive right back because thats how he wants it, right?

They're already found a replacement for Rush, it would seem:

Al Franken to Substitute for Rush Limbaugh
(2003-10-10) -- Former comedian Al Franken will replace Rush Limbaugh on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network for the next 30 days while Mr. Limbaugh participates in an addiction treatment program.

Premiere Radio Networks announced the substitution shortly after Mr. Limbaugh told his millions of listeners that he is addicted to prescription painkillers and is going to deal with it "once and for all."

"When Rush told us he needed 30-days off, we knew we had to find a top-notch replacement," said a Premiere spokesman. "Although we had not heard of Al Franken before, we received a barrage of emails suggesting he is the next great American radio host. Apparently he used to be a comedian, and knows Bill O'Reilly personally. We were impressed with that. We're hopeful that America's ditto-heads will warm to Mr. Franken right away."

[travis151]

Rush, has a problem and he is going to try to deal with it. He didn't ask for remorse or pity and he didn't lie or spin he just said he is going to deal with it. Yes, this might hurt him but pills are addictive and most people who take pills don't consider them like taking others types of drugs cocaine, pot, whatever. I taken them all exept acid and Rush just has to deal with it. I've taken oxycotin and it yes I could move around it didn't knock me out like someone hear already said it did.

Clinton didn't make a living by bashing blowjobs. The hypocrasy is that he IS what he has spent years telling america to hate.

Furthermore, its a good thing he's rich and can afford rehab, or else he might have to use *gasp* willpower like normal people.

Limbaugh may have dropped a hint a few months ago when he joked, in a seemingly offhand way on his radio show, that he had been "popping pills" for back pain. He drew a very sympathetic response two years ago when he announced that he had suddenly gone deaf-the result of some kind of autoimmune illness, he said at the time. Much of his hearing was restored by an electronic device implanted in his ear, although his partial deafness has added to his dislike of social gatherings, says a friend.<b> Suspicion has now turned to his drug habit: repeated large doses of hydrocodone, a painkiller sold under the brand name Vicodin, can cause severe hearing impairment</b>
This is from the newsweek article on Limbaugh. This son of a bitch may have caused his own deafness. That's a hell of a price to pay for an addiction.

Rush's Lawyer: "Sorry, Rush, I tried to bargain with the D.A. and get these charges reduced, but he's gonna be a hardass and go for the maximum sentence."

Rush: "Oh no, why does my (sniff) world seem to be falling apart?"
"Isn't there something you can do? After all I am paying you a hell of a lot of money."

Rush's lawyer: "They've got you cold. He said something about making an example out of 'this hotshot celebrity who thinks he can get out of anything'. Yeah, I know it seems rough knowing you're going to be making little ones out of big ones for a few years, but there is some good news."

Rush: "What's that?"
