Our local Jeep "dealer"

LOL! Amazing that when Clinton (who has more than his share of other faults, make no mistake) was lambasted for using pot in college by the ultra-right in his first campaign, they can look the other way when GW was arrested for DUI and snorting cocaine, and RL was scoring OxyContin from his housemaid.

Ff charges are brought up, he should do the right thing as he would have any other addict do, plead guilty and face the consequences.

No one's found drugs in his

So you think his addiction was a lie??

I pretty much detest everything Rush stands for, but can't go along with this. I am trying hard to figure out what real damage he might have done to anyone but himself here. Or what the real crime might have been other than violating the most tightassed repressive, medically ignorant drug laws of any nation above 4th world status.

No, it was freaking unfortunate. And the result of an injury similar to the one that had no less than John F. Kennedy in pain most of his adult life...who also has been alleged to have used a lot of painkillers.

And turned lots of 'nam vets into criminals for no more than attempting to deal with the chronic pain of injuries they got no thanks for getting.

And to think thios all started because I was bitching about a dealer.

Yeah, keep this up and next thing you know they'll be giving sobriety tests to all airline pilots as they get ready to fly an airplane.

Dealer or pusher?

You mean the drinking problem of the lead character in "Airplane!"?

(insert favorite ethicity here)-ish pilot's license test.

"Pull stick back, houses get smaller. Push stick forward, houses get bigger. No smoking within 1 hour before flight, and no drinking within 100 feet of the aircraft."

The difference is he has repeatedly sung the "lock 'em up and throw away the key" song when it comes to drug abuse.

Of course he did, and he should had admitted it. But he didn't do it in his

30's with a family to take care of, unlike our current White House resident.

Drug use can't be an issue now for any presidential candidate since Clinton for the next 20 or so years, because almost every candidate from that generation lit up, dropped, snorted or shot up at least once in their lives.

BTW I voted for Clinton and hated Star and

The problem with Rush is that he is a quasi-political entertainer pandering to the fears, insecurties and prejudices of the semi-educated to the tune of millions of dollars a year. That and he's just plain rude...you don't have to make fun of someone just because you disagree with him. :-P

I know. Like I said, I pretty much detest everything the guy claims to stand for. Too bad he got addicted to a drug that is medically more addictive [but more politically acceptable] than the natural opiate painkillers that it was meant to replace. He isn't out of the woods yet, but there are In My Non Humble Opinion, far worse transgressions out there to worry about.
