What has Rush admitted to?
I keep hearing from the Right wingers how Rush has been so honest and forth coming about "his problem"....

but what has he admitted to?

He spoke about the terrible back pain he suffered.

He spoke about how doctors said surgery would not work.

He spoke that he started using the medication under doctor's supervision.

He then said that he became addicted to the pain killers....

But I did not hear him admit to any wrong doing or law breaking.

He did not confess to obtaining them illegally,
or doctor shopping
or any wrongful activity, merely developing a dependance upon a controlled substance....

AT THE SAME TIME......

his lawyer has been doing everything possible to end the investigation...


so just what has Rush been man enough to admit to...

aside from the " I am not a hero" yeah, no shit!

1. "If you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide."
Thus sayeth the draft dodger. I'm so confused. Limbaugh is a conservative, therefore he would never lie or break the law. Would he not want the investigation to forward with gusto. Would his lemmings also urge him to rally on the prosecution to prove once and for all that he is innocent? I guess I'm just a naive liberal believing that all of us would do the right thing.

3. "The Truth Will Set You Free"
Why isn't he spewing that line anymore?

Why is the pigboy whining and blaming his status as a junkie on others?

Gee, maybe he is not taking personal responsibility for his actions.

Is that possible?

5. Now his lawyer sez Rush was being blackmailed for big busks by the maid
way back when. Of course they going to blame distort decieve and distract. Tis the Pubs way out. They don't want to use the Truth.

4. I think he'll cop to a doc shopping charge.
Apparently, the only charge they're pursuing against him is the doctor shopping one. (the least serious of his alleged crimes)

7. The next time
I go to the doctor and they want me sign one of those Patriot Act consent forms where Ashcroft can seize my records because he suspects I'm a terrorist, I'm gonna sign my name Rush Limbaugh.
