The New Yorker comments on Rush: A horrible, pointless, piece of liberal claptrap. Just more liberal hatred and personal attacks, obviously patterned after Al Franken's putred sludge. It just points up the fact that liberals have no agenda other than to attack conservatives. Sickening, really.

Limbaugh’s colleagues in the right-wing jabber industry have come up with a consistent set of talking points in making the case that, in Ann Coulter’s words, “Rush’s behavior was not all that dissolute.” One point is that it was “highly courageous” of Limbaugh to admit his addiction, as Brent Bozell wrote. This would be more persuasive if Limbaugh’s admission had come before rather than after his addiction was described in detail in a National Enquirer story—a story whose essential outlines have since been confirmed by the non-supermarket press and whose particulars have been disputed by no one. (Limbaugh himself—presumably on the advice of his lawyer, Roy Black, whose other celebrity clients have included William Kennedy Smith and Marv Albert—has said only that the “stories you’ve heard contain inaccuracies and distortions.”) Another point is that Limbaugh’s ability to do his job while addicted is a testament to his greatness. “If this is what he’s like on painkillers, imagine when he’s off them!” Coulter exclaimed, adding, “Whoa! Set him loose once he’s gone through detox!” Don't you love it.........."Rush's behavior was not all that dissolute". Talk about BS to the nth degree. No mention that he broke the law but had it been a Clinton, they would have screamed impeachment, jail time and throw away the key. Like I said in another post, they say all this BS with a straight face. They are Stepford Americans. ted
