RE:"As for his denials (or lack thereof), he has not said anything until he finds out the legal implications. I heard his weaseling and it sounds like he won't be forthcoming about the subject unless charged." Don't you know everything changes when you get a Lawyer? I suspect Rush will come clean soon and if he's been addicted to pain killers he'll admit it. Here in the US they don't usually go after the end user if he is just hurting himself. For some reason they are looked upon as the only victim in a victimless crime. When you are in pain, it's likely very easy to get hooked on this stuff. In the past it was a whole lot easier to get. I remember when they used to sell codeine right over the counter mixed with aspirin. OTOH, Rush polarizes and has a lot of enemies. Even rival talk show hosts, who would like to see him off the air. I doubt it will happen though. The fact that guys like you and Ted, hate him...is EXACTLY what he wants...the ability to polarize. Hillary has this ability as well. Jim

I heard his weaseling and it sounds like he won't be forthcoming about the subject unless charged. There is a lot about this story that makes it difficult to draw any conclusion. It really could be true; the housemaid's story sounds pretty credible, the hearing damage could be explained, and there is apparently enough truth to it to warrant an investigation. Also, I heard that investigators had documentation in the form of emails. OTOH, the timing is very suspicious. With the liberals' attempt to unseat Limbaugh and bring out this nitwit Franken as their "voice", it is not beyond the realm of possibility he is being set up. And, this is just the kind of crap liberals are famous for and good at -- "personal destruction". As to his not being "forthcoming", I rather suspect he has a pretty good team of lawyers who are telling him precisely what to say (and not to say), and you can't blame a man who is the subject of a criminal investigation for that, even if the potential charges are totally trumped up. I think it is a 50/50 shot. Limbaugh could be addicted -- or the liberals may be setting him up because they can't counter his powerful and well-presdented factual arguments by legitimate means. While the liberals will be shouting "hypocrisy" before the results are known, if true, it will have proven one thing -- ANYONE can be sucked in to addiction.
