I don't have to "think the worst of his motives."  He's dug his
own grave.  I agree he did not
set out to have fun with drugs.  I agree his pain drove him to his
addicition. But the point
you won't see is that he condemned all drug abusers as morally inferior and
deserving to be
jailed.  He made no distinctions.  (Oh, and by the way, he used to smoke
pot so there goes your
theory that he never used drugs recreational.)

I'm talking about hypocracy.  I could care less if Rush was right or left
of spectrum or smack
dab in the middle.  I don't listen to Rush so I don't know what he says on
his radio shows.  Nor
do I listen to NPR (I was anticipating your next question!), although I
went through a phase
where I listen to "Car Talk," for about 6 mos.  Hardly a
political show by any stretch of the
imagination.  The car radio is only tuned into music stations.

BTW, he illegally bought approximately 30 painkillers a day.  You can do
the math as to how much
this adds up on an annual basis.
