He didn't leave the hospital after his two expensive, easy detoxes (24 hours, under anesthesia) in pain that wasn't controllable by innocuous if unexciting means. He was a hard core drug abuser, exactly like the ones you see spaced out in the gutter in NYC, and a hard core hypocrite. If you think Limbaugh wouldn't have "made much of it" if, say, Al Franken, or Bill Clinton, had been a drug abuser for years, using his housekeeper as a supplier, and had recommended deporting and jailing drug abusers, your perceptual apparati need work. As for "sans any feeling," there is nothing about back pain, morphine, and oxy IR or oxycontin I don't know from personal experience. And I'm laughing at his excuses for continuing the drugs once the pain was otherwise manageable. I'm laughing at him acting pitiful when his two detoxes weren't even cold turkey. Big lying, self-indulgent, hypocritical sissy.
