What is all this angst about Limbaugh being a hypocrite?  What is the big
deal in that?  The far-right has proven its hypocrisy time and again,
whether it was extra-marital sex or drug use or any of numerous other
things they preach against because that kind of preaching appeals to the
Randall Parkers among us?

So why are you ranting and raving about a another far-right kook
demonstrating his hypocrisy?  And what is this absurd distinction you are
making between becoming accidentally addicted to a pain killer drug and
choosing to use drugs recreationally?  Do you suppose the latter decided to
become addicts?  What do you mean when you mention drug "abuse?" 
Are you implying that anyone using drugs is somehow an abuser?

As I said, the more you carry on with this nonsense, the more you and
Randall Parker seem like mirror images of each other.
