have to apologize? The first was a mean, vindictive, politically motivated lie. The second was a joke. Where was the media during the Limbaugh slur...and where are they in general in reporting all of the shit that hate right wing radio and Faux TV spews?

Liberal media my ass.

2. Apologies and mea culpas only necessary when an r is the butt of the
joke. Meantime, all bets are off and all nasty comments welcome when speaking ill of Dems.

The double standard is alive and well.

3. What about referring to Chelsea Clinton as a dog?
I think that's a tad more offensive.

4. Unlike OxyRush - Letterman has integrity...
Edited on Fri Jun-12-09 10:31 AM by axollot
......BTW as a patient on oxycontin and a resident of Florida it really offends me that he got off scott free with his outrageously blatant and easily proven doctor shopping. Having myself been *wrongly* accused, locked up in cuffs *at* my doctors office then put into the squad car for 4hours while they tried to find where i might have filled 2 narcotics scripts from a different doctor within a single month (I didn't, however, did have to see a diff doctor for a test for ssdi paperwork and found out that doc was under investigation - that is what got me into that mess). I was (even tho the detective *did* tell my old doctor I was innocent and it would only be proper to fill my meds for that month even if discharged) made to go cold turkey until I found another doctor (who, despite being a wing nut is a fantastic doc)with no back up, which can be life threatening - our local hospital wouldn't help me either and I was trying to get checked into the mental health/drug detox ward etc and refused due to no beds and they had the nerve to treat me like some idiot drug seeker when I just needed help until I found a new doctor! (Thank god for understanding family and good ol' herbal supplements). So I have a very particular anger with OxyRush - people like him make it somtimes/almost impossible for people like myself to get proper treatment. Legit pain patients always end up screwed over as junkies like that asshole put a street value on meds some of us need to live!

/rant off :argh:

Cheers
Sandy
