Editorial: Rush's Denials Are Sounding Familiar
http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v03.n1906.a11.html

Rush Limbaugh can bluster all he wants about how he's being singled out for
prosecution because he's a conservative celebrity. It won't wash.

The millionaire radio talk show host's denials and hair-splittings are
starting to sound an awful lot like those of his arch-enemy, Bill Clinton.

The fact is, by Limbaugh's own admission, he was addicted to prescription
painkillers. He apparently spent a lot of money buying the medicine in
secret. Since drug abuse of any kind is a scourge on society, law
enforcement has a legitimate interest in finding out whether these
purchases were legal, and particularly who was doing the selling.

There is very little, if any, difference between a person who abuses
illegal drugs such as marijuana and cocaine and one who abuses prescription
drugs.


Hey dickhead. You wanted tough laws on 'criminals' who use drugs. Carefull what you wish for, you might just get it. There is 0 difference between using cocaine and using morphine prescriptions.... theyre almost the same damn drug.

2. morphine is an opiate. cocaine is a stimulant.
not that it matters as far as the content of the message, just wanted to point it out. they are both felony level drugs however.

I thought they were both opiates. Thanks for the correction.

Edit: So Rush was just doing a milder version of heroin.
