Friday, October 10, 2003 at 3:00 PM Dr. Drew Pinsky, an addiction specialist in Pasadena, California, told CNN that if Limbaugh is addicted to OxyContin, "We're really talking about opiate addiction. The withdrawal is miserable and painful and it takes a long time to recover." The disease is insidious, Pinksy said. "It's a progressive disease, and when it progresses, the house of cards falls." Still, he said, "I've seen miracle recoveries."

Friday, October 10, 2003 at 4:55 PM The other day Drew said that sometimes Vicodin addicts go deaf once they build up a big tolerance. He was suggesting that it was evidence that Rush was using that. Man, I can't wait for people to start quoting Rush's comments about how drug addicts should all be thrown in prison and that we need to spend more on the drug war. This just proves the theory I'm working on: Republican's are hypocrites. —One Nut Wonder |

Saturday, October 11, 2003 at 2:00 AM What do democrats have to do with it? Life isn't split between democrats and republicans. The world is a much larger place -literally and figuratively. "It's easy for people to say that if they shoot up on heroin the only people they're hurting are themselves. But that's not true. ... Drug abusers destroy their families ... If we legalize these vices, we erode the societal support for prohibitions against crimes such as murder. The erosion of the moral fabric of society is a gradual, insidious process." -- Rush Limbaugh, The Way Things Ought to Be, pp 53-54. —Art |

Saturday, October 11, 2003 at 12:53 PM The fact that Rush hasn't commented much on drugs since 95 just tells me that he's probably been hooked on the "hillbilly heroin" since then. Kind of like how Mrs. Reagan stopped criticising stem cell research when Ronald came down with alzheimers. Now she's the worlds biggest supporter of it. Hopefully Rush will become a big supporter of rehab and convince some people that it's time to end our failed "war on drugs" and start focusing on providing treatment. —One nut wonder |

Saturday, October 11, 2003 at 7:21 PM While Rush's comments about drugs eroding families is true, he fails to realize that it already happens and no legalization is going to worsen that. He's the perfect example. Legal or not, people become addicts. People don't do something because it's legal or illegal, they do it because it makes them feel good. That will never change. —clodhopper |

Saturday, October 11, 2003 at 7:40 PM It's hypocritical to state your opinion and then do exactly what you've been lobbying against, then change your opinion because you fucked up. It would be like some anti-abortion activist getting some chick pregnant, then convincing her to get an abortion and changing sides. That being said, he would be an even bigger hypocrite if this didn't change is opinion of putting people into detox instead of jail.

Saturday, October 11, 2003 at 7:52 PM "...i never said life is split between democrats and republicans, stop being so argumentative..." -another guy Are you clear who is argumentative? Changing your opinion isn't hypocritical however if you lectured people, were degrating, judgemental, unsympathetic, condescending, etc. it is. Rush will likely take on the role of an advocate for rehab if he is to transform his image into that of an innocent suffering the diease of addiction. Otherwise he will have exposed himself as just another "criminal degenerate" -and a hypocrit at that. —Art |

Sunday, October 12, 2003 at 8:32 PM Some Rush quotes: Dec 9 1993 "If [Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders] wants to legalize drugs, send the people who want to do drugs to London and Zurich, and let's be rid of them." Oct 5 1995 "What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."
Nov 20 1999 Appears on CNBC's Tim Russert show describing his weight loss: "I got to 325 at my highest. And--and I've--I--I lost the weight in two stages, and I'm now at 215. So that's--yeah, 110 pounds." His secret? Pasta. Lots of pasta.
