The bashers that find his addiction predicament "laughable" have to get it in before he comes back. They figure their chances of his death and their joyful hysteria are a little too optimistic.

I don't see anything to bash and I don't see anything that is hypocritical. But mad dogs have been known to howl at the moon. That's not very original.

Taxes and the Top 1%
October 10, 2003

During Open Line Friday we received a call from a guy in Sacramento, my adopted hometown, with a very good question. “What percentage of all income tax revenue collected by the treasury is paid by the top wage earners?” After giving him the latest numbers, which we’ve updated on the website and you can hear in the audio link below, I put some things in perspective.
If the Democrats were really interested in revenue pouring in, they'd continue to cut taxes, they'd lower the capital gains rate or get rid of it altogether, and they'd be back to their precious little surplus projection days. But that's not what they're really interested in. They're interested in class warfare and getting you to hate the rich. They want you thinking the rich aren’t suffering while everybody else is. They want you thinking the rich are causing all this so that you'll vote for them.

They claim to want all this money to spend, but they don't care, they spend it anyway. Ever heard of deficits? They spend money left and right. You ever heard of a budget program going down, ever heard of a Great Society program being reduced, ever heard of a health care program being reduced, genuinely cut? Doesn't happen. If they have to, they'll borrow the money to increase spending. Hello deficits. Ain't causing tax cuts. Tax cuts are what's causing the economy to come back finally.

Bush's tax cuts are causing more economic activity, hello, the economy is starting to grow and if it continues to recover like this, we're going to get rid of this deficit lot sooner than anybody thinks. The Democrats are using it as a monster. Keep an eye on this and you'll see that I'm right in a very short period of time.

I agree with you , and never for one moment laughed about his condition. I did laugh about how he has been exposed as a hypocrite. And I still don't understand...do you?...why he didn't go to one of the many, many clinics available in Florida to treat his pain, or his addiction. It is shocking, but not surprising, that he apparently thought he was "above the law," considering his tough law-and-order stance over the years. How would you explain that? The guy could wind up in jail. I would not laugh at that, but I don't understand how he got where he is.
