Look, there was no SDMB in 1969-1970, so it is totally unfair that the pubbies didn’t get a chance to rant about it back then. This is their opportunity.
Later look for my pit thread, ostacizing Charles Limburgh and his pro-nazi sentiments.
I only pray they soon capture the liberal kidnappers of the Limbaugh Baby.
I have listened to Rush, on occasion. The saddest part is, once you get past the “glamor of the sort of famous radio guy” facade, there is precious little substance there. He is simply playing up to a specific audience, and deliberately so. He gets paid for this. It’s a job. He is not some expert or guru. He really has no message, except “conservative good liberal bad”. He also has a nasty habit of not letting the facts get in the way.
It is the yelling that makes it hard to listen to the righties. They ask for phone calls then scream over the caller ,insulting and name calling. That gets old in a hurry. I woekrd next to a guy who listen to Rush every day. I served my time.
What the hell is a *mild *addiction?
Um, he “openly admitted it” after he was arrested.
The kind where you’re not willing to risk your life or your freedom to get the drug, so you just send your maid to score for you.
From your link:
Sounds like a “mild” addiction, only 11 per day. Of course that doesn’t include the ones he he received from other pharmacies.
I know I would be dead or in Zombieville on that dosage but I guess I’m just a lightweight when it come to drug addiction.
Perhaps to the point, which side of 300 pounds was Rush on during his druggie phase? It takes more dope to bliss out a fat boy.
2,000 oxycontin in 6 months from one pharmacy? They still have a license?
Not that I would recognize this Rush guy from Pete, but didn’t he go deaf because of his mild addiction?
To expand: Limbaugh is a slimeball and a heartless creep. He is also, to some degree, a victim. Very white, very straight people are easy marks for pharmaceutical addiction. They don’t see it. Remember George Carlins bit about drug stores, with the big neon signs that blinks off and on saying “DRUGS!” Cigarettes, cosmetics, maganzines, sundries DRUGS!
They think drugs are used by shifty, dirty people in colorful clothes. Its not drugs if it comes in a brown plastic bottle with a prescription pasted on it. Its medicine.
Seeing as the drug works by acting on chemical receptors in the brain, I was going to dispute this by snarkily asking how much fat Rush Limbaugh has in his head. But then I remembered who we were talking about.
Yes, he admitted it after he got busted. But before that he was more of a “string up all the druggies” kind of guy. It’s the way he is.
Crack down on the drug fiends (except for him)
Support the war (except he won’t go because he has a boil on his ass).
Etc.
Ahhh to hell with him. He’s an asshole.
