5. He's a rich bu$h supporter. The law does not apply.
Laws are for Liberals.

12. That's it. On the nose.
Imagine if he (or she) were Hispanic (or Black or fill in the blank not white), Democrat and from a working class background. You think his show would get sponsors let alone be on the air for more than a year.

It would be hard to imagine someone as described above as spitting lies and poison enough to stay on the air.

8. Has he been charged? Convicted?
Is he in treatment, or did he get into tx. right after his drug issue hit the fan? If so, he will probably parlay that into a no jail--maybe even deferred sentence/dispositional continuance type arrangement that would leave him with no conviction record if he completes tx. successfully. After all, don't we really want him treated and off the stuff?

17. On the day Rush goes to jail, I'm going to party like it's 1999.
More than Delay, more than Rove, more than Frist .... more than Bush, even - I want to see Rush brought to justice. Dittoheads need to learn to think for themselves again.

18. Because He IS Bush's Bullhorn
That glutinous-pill-popping-fuck is Bush's propaganda king! Only a burn-out mind fuck could possibly twist reality the way he does. Makes ya wonder about the 'ditto-head' listeners too, doesn't it?
