What is the dumbest reply a Repug has given you about Rush's hypocricy?
I planned all month for the Xmas party where I would see my wife's friend's AM radio talk host friend for the first time in months, and within five minutes of getting there, making small talk, etc, I finally busted out a little dance step while chanting "Rushy is a junky, Rushy is a junky..." He stammered and tried to make the topic be about me being insensitive and ignorant about how addiction. I ask him where this outpouring of support was in 1999 when Roger Clinton was incarcerated for drug abuse. He said it was "different," but declined to explain why or how.

I also got into a debate, using quotes from his own show, about how the Clinton haircut-on-the-tarmac story, even if it was true, was nowhere near the waste of tax dollars that Chimpy's Mission Accomplished photo-op was. He said the troops deserved to have their morale raised after so much time away. I felt giddy hacking away at his stupid arguments.

Anyone else have a similar story?

1. "but they were legal prescription drugs"
Hear it all the time.

Addiction is addiction is addiction.

2. "Oh yeah? What about Clinton?"
It's their one-size-fits-all reply to any issue, any time.

3. That was the big argument on the air here...
He 'accidentally became addicted'. How do you accidentally disregard dosage instructions and self medicate?

Like saying "yeah, I smoke weed for the flavor, and if I get high, it's completely accidental".

7. Rush was brave
He was dealing with a painful injury the whole time he was doing his show, and was taking these drugs to hide his pain.

No democRAT would have the courage to keep working with the pain Rush had.

16. Yeah. Not a day goes by without me thinking, gee, what a brave man
Edited on Fri Jan-09-04 01:10 PM by Screaming Lord Byron
that Rush Limbaugh is, sitting there in his comfortable studio, whacked to the gills on oxycontin spouting his merry bullshit to fellow morons. Not a day.

12. One of them told me that Rush was not a hypocrite because
he never said that people who accidentally become addicted to prescription drugs due to back pain should go to jail. I responded that Bill Clinton never denied getting a blow job from a slightly overweight intern who actually spilled a little on her dress.

15. Yesterday, about Richard Perle's statement
on the order of "people don't care whether there is WMD in Iraq, the important thing to them is Saddam is gone."

I got an answer from one saying "smart people".

Go Figure.
