Then I saw a guy on Hardball, I think, saying that Rush didn't say, "I didn't swallow." (So Rush and Ahhnold get bonus points for their "candor.")
"Candor" would have been Rush admitting his little ol' habit *before* the law was closing in, ready to bust his petrified ass. Or perhaps, maybe after one of the other TWO times he bounced out of rehab. Funny, that he didn't feel the need to "talk straight and honest" to his shittoheads then.
I also absolutely love his lapdog apologists trying to invent ways to make their "highroad hero" seem above the other "drug addicts of the world," as Rush would refer to them. My favorite was one of the AM shills who actually tried to put forth the notion that their was a "big difference" between Rush sucking down his 25-50 Oxys and Vikes a day for a medical condition (i.e. his claimed "pain"), vs. the "run of the mill junkie doing it for just kicks." Candor...would have been Rush admitting that he bought his illegal booty in a Denny's parking lot, via his terrified-for-her-job housekeeper, because he loved getting loaded out of his mind! Anyone who's ever been high, for even a second, knows just what a crock of shit he (and they) are trying to sell.
I also love how during Rush's "heartfelt confession" he went on and on about how he wouldn't want to be perceived as a *hero* (unlike all those other "Hollywood libs," of course) and would assume "full responsibility' for his actions. Of course, all of this after he spent two minutes backhandedly blaming everything and everyone else he could get away with (e.g. "the highly addictive" prescription medicine, the failed back surgery, the doctors who initially prescribed him this...what's next, the entire medical system as we know it?). All in all, the same lying deflector that he "claims" to expose all of the time.
Oh yeah, here's another wake up all to all of his buddies trying to sell the notion that we, the liberals, are hypocrites for attacking Rush...and not the rest of the other "drug addicted libs." Message: We have compassion for all people who suffer with addiction. What we're attacking is the the sheer hypocrisy of a man who spends every day of his life denying others the same "prayers" and compassion that he now craves.
Yes, the metaphorical "chicken" (i.e. his hate and intolerance) has *finally* come home to roost. I hope he "enjoys" his time in the hot seat.
PS - Because Rush is a soulless, heartless, yet wealthy piece of filth, he'll probably get to dry out, for the third time, in the lap of luxury. Unlike, the millions of Rush-dubbed "social outcasts" who'll have to do it in a government subsidized facility....the very kind of social welfare cut that he would be the first in line to make.
Frankly, I hope his career is ruined. Lord knows, he'd be ruining someone elses if it were *their* "liberal affliction."
