"But 4700 pills in one month hard to believe."

I took maybe 100 in one month. 4700 pills would mean he had to average 156 pills per day (30 day period). At 20 pills he would be dead and comatose. I would take 4 in one day and sleep most of the day, so I discount this story as bunk (at the time I weighed a lot more than Rush too).

He might have been experimenting with different ones and flushed a lot down the toilet in fits of remorse and paranoia. He was trying to hide his pill habit from Marta

You're missing two important points. First, OxyContin is typically abused in powder form because grinding the pills up into powder destroys the time releases and when snorted, gives an opiate like high (similar to heroine) that is much more intense, but much shorter in duration than the drug taken in pill form with the time releasors in tack. A typical addict might snort two to four pills or more in powder form in a single sitting, several times a day, depending upon the extent of the addiction. Second, addicts never want to be down to their last "fix" just in case the supply goes dry. As a result, they will often buy more than they need just so they always have a back-up supply on hand, particularly if money is not an issue.

Good point.

Let's all tune in at 12noon today. It might be his highest ratings ever.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until I hear his side of the story.

I choose to believe that the Democrats and their shills (Katie Couric, Dan, Tom, Hollywood idiots, etc.) will do anything to smear others, to the degree that they feel their own has been smeared.

Think of how hard Bill and Hillary are laughing this morning.

In fact, time will tell, but as Rush says, when the liberal left is out of power, they go wacky crazy. Hhhhhmmmmmmmm............

Some of the quotes I've heard from his e-mail with his supplier have Rush saying that they weren't all for him. Who knows at this point.
