Yeh - Like Robert Downey Jr.

Hollywood's excuse was that he was "Oh So Naturally Talented"
- - - That Drugs were just a Minor problem that should be overlooked.
After all he was a creative and elightened being.

Yes if they behave like Rush Limbaugh.

Limbaugh routinely insults those he disagrees with. He gives them nasty
nicknames; he mocks them, besmirches them and makes fun of them far more adeptly
than his current attackers. This is how he makes his millions. It is ludicrous
for him, and for his defenders, to claim he is being treated unfairly. Others are
simply doing unto him what he does unto others. That?s justice in my book


ITM,

But Rush being Rush is OK as long as his remarks are limited to white folks.

* His Crime was saying anything negative about black folks.

* The Un-Written-Law of Media-Self-Censor-Ship in the USofA.

his syndicated radio show will be trashed as his listeners leave in

You can't be a druggie and a racist while still pretending to occupy
the conservative moral high ground.

BYE BYE, RUSH!!!

Are you sure you aren't describing Al Frankin?



Ya, I guess Al Frankin does this too.

But I am definately describing Rush Limbaugh in this case.


And Al Frankin.
Al Franken can't think of his own material so he decides to steal it
from the Fox News Network by using ``Fair and Balance" in his new book.

Maybe Rush should go live in a country where recreational drugs are legal.
What the hell does one have to do with the other?

Of course, this is where all right-wingers go when their messiahs
are crucified:

"You just hate America!"



Wake up Rush Has helped America about as much as the Clintons


Zero

Both brands of politics are like a football game I win you lose.

Don't you get it; we're a county; all of us will never agree. But as long as Rush
and Hillary can convince people we have enemies among us, you're playing their
game.

I doubt Rush is a racist.

He frequently has black guest hosts when he's on vacation.

When he had his syndicated TV show a significant part of the crew were "non whites". (the whole crew was on camera for the Christmas shows.)

I'm not a football fan, so I have no idea if his comment was accurate regarding the QB, but in the past, I've heard Rush say something along the lines of: People who pander based on race are racist because they presume certain races have limited ability
and need preferential treatment to succeed.

I think sports fans often have a different sort of prejudice - "players on the team I like are great, players on the other team are lousy". Perhaps this was a factor - I have no clue what team(s) Rush roots for.

We'll see what Rush has to say about the drugs - my guess is there is at least some truth to it because his initial comment about it was he didn't know of any investigation but will cooperate.

Unless legal problems get in the way, I expect he'll retain most of his audience.
