(snip) RUSH LIMBAUGH: Detox where? "Clintonesque"?. Self-Destructive? Hypocritical?

Did he do it because "You'll get a "Rush" (surge of pleasurable sensation) out of this!," or for pain? Where is he doing his detox? Who is the mysterious Dr. Weisman? Was the "staightshooter" "Clintonesque" in denial? Is he telling the truth now? Did the drugs come BEFORE the spinal problem, as he claimed, or cause it? New information beyond the Enquirer story.



Is he self-destructive, destroying the hearing his career depends on? Why was he rejoicing in the pain and death of drug abusers? New information provides partial answers.


On the same day the National Enquirer published a followup article on Rush Limbaugh's drug addiction, he announced he is going in for detoxification, the third time. Whether the Enquirer articles or simply "enough time to figure out what to lie about," which he used to say was "Clintonesque," pushed him into treatment is hard to say. Previously he had reportedly gone to the ARI in New York for overnight detox. This time he says he is going into rehabilitation for 30 days (luxurious Betty Ford Clinic in Rancho Mirage, California?) - and this the guy that said of the ordinary user: "Send them up." Always destructive, even self-destructive (he destroyed his own hearing), Limbaugh has attempted to destroy others for their vices; but he now blames "severe pain in my lower back and also in my neck now due to two herniated discs" and tells us, "I'll be back." It's just a good thing he isn't judging himself as he has judged others - or he would be going up the river himself.

LET'S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT: LIMBAUGH IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF ADDICT. HE HAS NO EMPATHY FOR OTHER ADDICTS nor for most anyone else. Most addicts are capable of empathy, like most everyone else. Rush Limbaugh is not going to become a man of good will because of any medical or psychological treatment. That probably would require a spiritual change, and I will make no judgement about that.
