[MrLeRoy]

So you admit he did it. Why won't he?

Now if he did it that would be about the stupidest thing to do now wouldn't it!

So he's guilty and doing just what a guilty man would do. Got it.

[MrLeRoy]

Sorry, it's Macintosh and Jonathan. Your blatant double standards are duly noted.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Your blatant double standards are duly noted.

You jumped into a discussion without the facts. Your blatant ig--- ; well, let's just say it's duly noted.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

The best thing to tell a cop is that you want your layer present.

Wil that be one layer or two?

Are we talking about the maid?

[Sir_Ed]

"I've been on jury duty. I don't form an opinion until I've heard both sides. Rush is saying exactly what I would say if I had never even taken legal drugs. It is rush's style."

Well, if I were accused of taking illegal drugs, I wouldn't say "I don't know what I'm up against," I'd just bloody well say "I HAVE NEVER TAKEN ANY ILLEGAL DRUGS!"

Nothing difficult about that...

Duhh .. I guess so Lee-Roy ...

What Billyboy Clinton taught us is that you NEVER resign when caught doing something unsavory. For years conservatives have been required to be holy, perfect, untouched by sin or they have had to resign from whatever position they held. Billyboy showed us that one could play with a cigar and an intern while the press and Arafat waited outside the Oval Office and one could serve out one's complete term. Who would have believed that brown paper sacks stuffed with cash could be carted into the White House by the Chinese Communists with no adverse results? Or that the nations nuclear secrets could be carried out of Los Alamos Labs with no one ever being arrested for betraying the country. So ANYTHING that conservatives get caught doing in the present or in the future will be extremely small potatoes compared to the wild and wooly 8 years of Bill and Hill. And the press need not snatch up their skirts and perfumed handkerchiefs now as they have the vapors over anything that Republicans do. After all, in the case of Arnold, it's only about sex. In Rush's case, it's only about drugs (prescription at that). This is their private life and should be off limits to critics...remember? AND CONSERVATIVES SHOULD FORGIVE THEIR OWN AS DEMOCRATS ALWAYS DO!!!!

I'd rather be "un-made", thank you, if I could have 'my druthers' ...

Rush may be or have been addicted to these drugs because of his recent health problems, but the thought has also occured to me of the possibility that perhaps the housekeeper/dealer, after she got caught, saw the golden opportunity to invent the "Rush purchases" to obtain the immunity that she has in fact obtained for herself.

Cordially,

[MrLeRoy]

Provide evidence for your claim: state the facts relevant to my statements that I don't have.

Maybe. Unlike you I will not judge. Even if he did, I will listen to him.

[kidd]

So you did you actually listen to Rush's explanation?

1. Yes kidd, I did - Then why do you equate protecting the careers of long established sports analysts from angry advertisers with "soothing the feelings of others"?

2. No kidd, I did not - Then you speak from ignorance.

[Stone Mountain]

How is it you are actually believing somethin on smokinggun anyway?

Has the Smoking Gun been discredited? They have posted tons of legal documents for all kinds of cases - I don't remember anything they posted having been wrong. They have been a credible and interesting source over the last few years at least as far as I know...

[Orangedog]

So you seriously think that the cops would wire her for one transaction and not another? And I'm not a Florida law expert, but the only thing that I believe is illegal to record are phone conversations. Just having a face to face with someone with a tape recorder in your pocket is pretty much fair game and you don't need a warrant to do it.

[newcats]

I guess he can't come clean until he knows what the prosecution knows.

What they know ...or how much they know?

[_Jim]

Let's do a 'consonant swap' and we'll be even (w for l)!

[Ol' Sparky]

He might be facing a criminal charge depending on things shake out. Why in the world would he incriminate himself by discussing it on the air?

Cordially,

She probalby had access to steal Rush's prescriptions and scripts. Steal a cigar box. That and other things to fabricate a story.

Gawd ....
