I didn't realize that your heroes avoided the draft because of a pimple on the buttock. I didn't realize they remained heroes even if they developed an addiction to drugs bought illegally from a housekeeper with $10K a pop withdrawals from a bank account...I didn't know that your heroes did these things and also spent time on the radio advocating that drug addicts deserve nothing less than a straight line to jail...addicts other than the hero himself of course. Aren't these bashes against Limbaugh a little tired? Personally, I think a person who develops an addiction and then is able to defeat it is a role model. As to how severe his addiction was, neither of us knows. I'm also not sure what you're talking about on Vietnam. He was ranked 175 in the lottery and nobody with that high a number was drafted. My number was in the same range; he would have only been eligible for the draft for one year, I believe, maybe two. At any rate, you are clearly bashing Limbaugh without cause. I don't know whether Limbaugh ever advocated that drug addicts should go to jail. Do you have any proof he ever did?
