Because, they're really all human and subject to the same human frailities like the rest of us, except they try to preach their own brand of morality upon all of us. It is rather hypocritical that el-Rushbo after all his ranting about Clinton's moral shortcomings is caught up in a serious drug scandal himself. I'm sure he beat Clinton up on the pot issue more than once. It turns out that Rush doesn't have very high morals himself. Rush certainly doesn't have good judgement when it comes to race. He made the McNabb thing a race issue by saying "the media wants a black quaterback to succeed". He could have just said, "the media wants him to succeed" and it probably would have never been an issue of race, unless people wanted to read into what he was saying. Bottom line, despite his success as a broadcaster, Rush Limbaugh really is a Big Fat Idiot. Saying stupid racial things and getting involved with a dangerous drug like OXYcontin. A drug that is highly addictive and has caused much violence. Pretty Lame elRushbo...

Back in 1995, <FONT COLOR="RED">Limbaugh</FONT> told his audience on the syndicated Rush Limbaugh, The Television Show that people who are obtaining drugs illegally should be held responsible. "Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up," he said to his audience during the broadcast. Media Columnist Michael Wolff says Limbaugh's career might not be able to survive a drug charge. "It would be labeled as an instance of incredible hypocrisy … Mr. Family values, Mr. Tough on Crime," Wolff said. At risk for Limbaugh, not just his credibility, but a media empire that has earned his networks and stations more than a billion dollars since 1988. "If this is a felony we're talking about here, than this is the end of Rush Limbaugh. That's it," Wolff said. abcnews.go.com
