1. My suggestions to Rush:
1. Don't play yourself the victim
2. Don't blame anyone
3. Go away for a long time.

BTW - I plan to give Rush every benefit of the doubt that he gave Clinton, Gore, Daschel, Hillary, Dean, Clark...

7. Well said
I will wait for the system to play itself out and for him
to be found guilty, (if he indeed is guilty).

Mow at that moment I would love to file an Amicus brief
asking the Judge to both THROW THE BOOK at Rush, after all
he would love nothing better if this was a lib'ral.

But I would also ask the judge to ORDER Rush into a Drug
Rehab program, yep the kind he despises, because that man
NEEDS helps.

And yes I can also empathize with the pigman, as drug
adiction is a disease.

But lets not passs judgment until the system does.

2. "Open Line Friday"
Yeah I've listened to him and "Open Line Friday" before.

He just does his usual BS and takes a few calls from his followers, just like always.

But since he tags it "Open Line Friday" it must be true, right?

Typical lies.

3. I am flashing back to Jimmy Swaggart
Anyone have that famous photo of Swaggart sweating and bawling and begging for forgiveness? The enablers will take their Rush back. They were born to be conned by these hpocrites.

5. If he goes through with this, and I still can't believe he will,
it will have to set radio records that have been reached in 50 years.

14. While I also have no pity, nor any sympathy for the SOB...
I really don't think I would want him to die. After all, death ends the pain and panic that comes from withdrawal....something he should feel, before he condemns others to fates of the same nature.

I would rather see Limbaugh conquer the habit, than see him die from it; it would be an epiphany for him.

Good Lord! I'm moving way to far to the Left if I allow a defense of Limbaugh........I never thought I'd be THAT liberal!

:evilgrin:

18. Sorry, that's way over the top.
He's a human being. Not a very good one -- an angry, gluttonous, greedy, prideful, lying jerk. But he's human nonetheless and I can't take joy in his troubles.

Who knows? Maybe he'll have a conversion of sorts like Lee Atwater had on his deathbed, and turn into a worthwhile human being. I know, not bloody likely, but...

22. Sorry, but that is just your opinion....
I really have no pity or sympathy for him. And maybe most surprisingly, I have no empathy. I'm a former addict myself, but I really don't care about Limbaugh's pain or life.

25. Glad to hear you kicked the habit!....
I had a pretty hard time myself; but that is precisely why I am 'defending' him, (gag).

I can also see your point of view; I just don't accept it.

10. Is he going to cry?
Ask for forgiveness? Maybe ask for his mommy? It will be very interesting. He will be a shell of his former self. I wonder if it will turn out to be his last show.

What time is he on?

15. My only take is that he thinks NOT doing the show is an admission...
of guilt. That, and he doesn't want to give the footsteps he hears from Hannity et al a chance. Denial - not just a river in Egypt.

17. He'll discuss the football thingy and won't discuss the drugs
and bash Wilson for being "unpatriotic" for not supporting the Commander in Chimp.

He won't miss a beat.

He hasn't run out of his drugs yet.

20. That would be more in character than crying....
I think there were one or two times in 15 yrs. when pigboy showed a moments worth of conscience.

23. I agree
He's such a megalomaniac. Rush is going to be like Jim Traficant, yelling until the end and beyond sans wig. Digging his own grave with his tongue.

31. Rush The Defiant
I'm certain over the past 24 hours, Rushbo has been hearing from his hive-dwelling buddies helping fuel his "I'm a victim" game I'm sure he's gonna play later today. This is even more the case since he spent the day at the NARB Convention...a suck-up lobbying group of station managers and owners who carry his show (Hannity also spoke to the group)...so he was pretty insulated from the drug story most of the day.

My bets are he won't say a word on the drugs as it's "a pending investigation" and won't say up or down on this. I just can't help laughing that he has Roy Black representing him...aren't there any good CONservative lawyers?

He knows the spotlight is on him and this is his forum. Also he knows that tape will be rolling and the audience will be huge. I don't think he'll let us down. It's just going to be how he parses his words that will be my fun.

And I'd forget about the open lines today...LOL.

BTW...I was listening to Michael Weiner defend him last night...claiming that this was another work of the "Socialists" who are taking over the world and THIS was the problem. On the other side was Tony Snow sitting in for Hannity who impressed me as being rather matter-of-fact about a whole bunch of topics (Rush included) whereas Hannity surely would have had a full-blown RNC scripted "Hillary did it" defense at the ready.

32. Tony Snow was rather "matter-of-fact about it"?
Tony Snow was fucking disgusting about it as has all the white men on tv. Fucking disgusting. This country is mentally ill.

I'll say it again.

If any of you saw nothing wrong with what Limbaugh said, or you really think it was all about attacking the media, then you should run, not walk, to your nearest mental health professional.
