Whether or not you like Rush Limbaugh, at least he had enough guts to come out and tell the truth about his addiction to painkillers. I was definitely hoping that if the allegations were true that Rush would choose the road of truth over the route that President Clinton chose. If Clinton had just come out and admitted his improper behavior, thenh I think there would never have been any sort of furor. All it did was cause further questions about his character. So whatever the outcome of Rush’s problem, I know that he chose the high road by telling the truth and being upfront with his viewers about his addiction. I truly hope that Rush is able to overcome his problem and may God be with him during this time of recovery.

That’s true Josh he probably will end up in his Palm Beach mansion, that’s the problem with the very rich in this country and the rest of us. Gee he seems to have done pretty good during the Clinton White House administration? I thought he was just a poor good old boy from Missouri. But anyways it just shows what is wrong with this country that the rich can get away with alot, including OJ, the Kennedy’s and let us not forget Martha Stewart and the Enrons of this world. How come the CEO of Enron was never prosecuted?
Good point. It is doubtful whether he would have come clean if no one had ever exposed him. He has way too much to lose. After all, he said himself on his tv show, “Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up,” (Oct. 5, 1995)
During the same show, he commented that the statistics that show blacks go to prison more often than whites for the same drug offenses only illustrate that “too many whites are getting away with drug use.”
So if that is what he really believes, then does he think he should be put in jail and leave his comfortable $24 million Palm Beach home… somehow I can’t see that happening.
Sure he admitted after being exposed in the National Enquire and the federal investigation that was begun. Time to cut his losses. But even tho I cannot listen to this man I do admire his fessing up that he does have an addiction and is getting help. But I just wished he had had actually believed in the He who is without a sin cast the first stone? Remember his diatribes….
Right on, Josh. In some senses it’s sad that many are really down about this… we put people like Rush on a pedestal, only to see their humanity in full color and we feel stupid. Rush is not a God. Once certain people agree with enough of what someone says, they start accepting ALL of their opinions as truth. Be careful… I try to tell my parents that a lot. 🙂
I, too, hope his road to recovery is well traveled.
