11. I certainly agree that 'news' leaves a lot to be desired...
it is "trial by media".

As for Limbaugh, it is the mere fact that he spent a lot of air time convicting others for what he was guilty of himself. It is not the addiction, it is the blatant hypocrisy that takes away my empathy for the man.

I was a Medical Plt Sgt in the Army. I had my own demons to deal with, and did so. It wasn't easy, but it is doable; this is why I am 100% for rehab over incarceration. But, rehab does not take away the personal responsibility of ones actions in condemning others for what one is doing at the time.

CD, please understand it is not the addiction I have a problem with, it is the hypocrisy. Personally, I hope he overcomes his personal demons, just so long as he doesn't toss 'em at others.
