Look out folks. Rush issue
Here comes the large spot-light on prescription drug abuse and the numbers of people that are addicted. BTW, crack will get little or no attention. Why? This will cause some cognitive dissonance is middle America. Hollywood? Sports Stars? Sure, um, some middle-aged-overweight-talk-raido-guy? Wtf… you know the drill.

Here come all the people that will attack him and then get slammed for taking pleasure in someone else’s pain. BTW, saying: He’s a Nazi so I am glad he suffering wont fly to far. Don’t believe me? Wait.

Here comes the huge shock: most people don’t have a clue who Rush is. They will be wondering why he’s getting so much attention. (BTW, if you think “everyone” knows who Rush is, your like my brother who thinks everyone knows what teams are left fighting for a shot at the World Series)

Oh how I wish I into sports and not politics. BTW, my brother thought Rush was a TV guy from CNN. And yes, he’s actually a very intelligent well-traveled and successful individual who votes, based on what I have no idea.

1. Does your Brother live in Under-A-Rock, Wyoming or something?
If he were living in Nashville, he'd know damn well who the vulgar PB is, like everybody I know here in Music City.

Still, that's true, the media is already spinning this as a "What a brave little piggy he is for coming clean like Clinton should have done" story. Yuck!!!

3. Well, in all actuality…
Traditional Jewish/Christian values as well as American tradition don’t like to kick people when there down. Its like that whole shooting someone in the back, talking bad about someone at the funeral etc.

Its just a bitch to do.

I guess since Clinton never looked/acted/seemed/said he was down is probably how people got away with bashing him. Course I don’t think he really was “down” either. Like if I cheated on my significant other and got caught, I think I would be a lot more “down and out” than I perceived Clinton to be.

4. Yea....
Edited on Fri Oct-10-03 10:41 PM by Kimble
just like i know what Gone With The Wind was all about.

3 things:

Its a black and white movie. (Cause its old)

Lots of people think its a classic. (Not that i have any idea what its about and really dont care)

And i think its got a line in there that everyone knows "Frankly my dear.." um, wait, is that the right movie? I duno, who cares, wheres the sports page.

6. Well, um, i cant really disagree with you on that..
because your claim to know its in color and vote of flattery for my satire are enough to make me to believe you know what your talking about.

Course my first reaction was No F&*(* way, I’ve seen that movie in black and white!

7. A few days ago I would have said dont't be ridiculous,
everyone knows who Rush is. Then all this stuff started popping up about Kobe. My first thought was who the hell is Kobe? I'd never heard of him, and I'm still not sure who he is. All I know for sure is that he's not a politican, or I would have recognized his name.
