This is OT, but if anyone becomes aware of any articles
written that accumlates what Rush has said about illegal
drug users over the years, then please post a link. I'm sure
that some reporters are scouring through his tapes and
articles now.

I find no glee in his problems. But I would like to know,
specifically, what Rush thinks about, and should be done with
illegal drug users. Such as himself.

What is most pertinent is what Rush has said in the past 2 years. I
leave it to Chuckles to dredge it up because Limbaugh is *very* vulnerable
on that score. Give the man a cigar for picking out the *real* issue here
and for having the class not to take glee in it. I agree, Rush should get
what he prescribed for others and be judges precisely as he has judged
others. Now, let's see how accurate the Rush haters are with their judgment.

I saw this posted elsewhe

"there's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It
destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys
societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country....
And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to
be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent
up." -Rush Limbaugh, 1995-

Well, sure. He wasn't using dirty negro drugs. He was using dirty white
trash drugs. He's a victim, not a monster.

Yup... classic Limbaugh. Everything's black and white, it's all just
that simple. He's made a career of over simplifying things. Unlike Gus I
find plenty of glee in watching a hypocrite slow roasted over a fire
he's helped build.


And frankly, none of his supporters can fairly criticize you
for it. He's always found glee in the problems of others -- at
least when those people were on the other end of the political
spectrum as he was.

LIMBAUGH DISCUSSES DRUGS

Rush Limbaugh has spoken out against illegal drug use on his radio program.
His comments include:

"There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals.
It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say,
is destroying this country."

"And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs,
importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to
people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them.

"And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be
accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up."

"When you strip it all away, (former Grateful Dead guitarist) Jerry Garcia
destroyed his life on drugs. And yet he's being honored, like some godlike
figure. Our priorities are out of whack, folks."

Actually, Rush talked about how the law was too easy on white people using
drugs, and that more white drug users being arrested, convicted, and in his
words, "sent up the river" would be a good thing.

The interesting bit for me in this, which seems largely ignored, is the
practical lesson from Limbaugh's addiction. He's been addicted for at some
years since his back surgery. He's tried twice before to get medical help
to stop the addiction, and failed.

During that time, his career has gone well, even flourished. A radio show,
books, moving on to mainstream media like ESPN; contrary to the cautionary
tales, drug addiction didn't ruin his life. The drug use didn't wreck his
career. He was a drug addict, and a successful media pundit.

Hmmm, makes those anti-drug messages that air ad anuseum in PSAs look rather
silly, doesn't it?

And it's one more brick torn down in my own opinions about drug
legalization. I used to be against it, except for marijuana. But the more
I learn about the subject, the more it seems like this is best handled as a
medical and lifestyle matter, and not at all appropriate for law enforcement
to be tangled up trying to "solve" (which never seems to work).
