Rush in Sharkland
10/4/03 | TasmanianRed

Posted on 10/04/2003 2:24:19 PM PDT by TASMANIANRED

You guys have done it now. I have very contentedly been a lurker since the 2000 election. I have felt like this was my other home but some members are posting comments about Rush that make's me think this site has been taken over by Move On.com. 1)What ever happened to innocent till proven guilty. Rush is being tried and convicted in the mainstream press and being beaten up on like a yellow dog and all I see from loads of you guys is the same. 2)Rush is the father of the Conservative Voice in the media. Of course he has an ego the size of a whale. He has been in the front taking the arrows for all of you guys for 15 years. He has whole books written about what an idiot he is. He has had his every word analyzed and commented on for years.It takes a huge ego to tolerate on onslaught from every source on a daily basis. A lesser man would have crawled off and cried like John Kerry. 3)The speculation on this drug business is outrageous. Some of you folks have a wealth of ignorance. My job is in poison information, I spend 36 hrs a week actively exposed. I know drugs and I talk to druggies every day. Rush is no druggie. Yes people can walk around and function very well with staggering amts of morphine in them. The secret is pain control. The correct level brings pain control and functionality not euphoria. Euphoria is the goal of the druggies but with it comes failure of lucid thought. In spite of what your opinion of Rush is, he is always lucid. His responses are tight, coherent and his memory for obscure detail is phenemonal. Drug abusers are obcessive to the max. Rush could not engage in the massive news reading effort required to prepare for each show if he were in the clutches of drug addiction. I have seen people sell their children to get the money for their fix, and although Rush has tons of cash to buy what he wants, His priority is his show. It is inconsistent 4)10 grams of acetamenaphen im 24 hrs is a lethal dose period , end of story. Even doses under 10 gms on a daily basis can cause significant damage to your liver. You don't live without a liver. Oxycontin is a strong synthetic opiate. It is very addictive. It is also extremely easy to make a lethal error on. We are talking respiratory depression and death here folks.A purchase 44000 tabs in 6 months is 244 tabs a day. Nobody survives a dose of 10% of that. 3 tabs a day of a drug that has an 8 hr half life is junkie heaven. That is a 81 year supply. Doesn't the volume of pills here make you question the story. It is exaggeration to the point of being farce. 4)Of course Rush isn't talking about this. No flat denials or anything like that. He is in one hell of a huge mess. Think about this little legal disaster. I known drug dealer as his housekeeper with full access to his home, maybe even when no one was in residence. Housekeepers usually have keys. She could have been dealing from his home. She could have stashed anything in there. Rush will have to go through every room taking switch plates off, checking air vents. Checking under every drawer, every piece of furniture, every hollow closet bar, every cavity even conceivable in his $24 Million dollar house is a potential drug cache. Disgruntled employee that is a drug dealer. Jesus that is a nightmare beyond conception. If he is the legal owner, he is responsible. He is responsible for everything that happens in that house. 5)The housekeeper was in his house. Why would there need to be a drug hand off out his Mercedes window in Denny's. Wouldn't it make one hell of a lot more sence to have her bring it to work with her. This is a complete violation of logic. 6) He kept his pills under the mattress. Refer to #1 above. This is compulsive disorganized behavior. Rush does not display disorganized behavior. This is also not logical. How many safes would you have in a $24 M house. At least one, Rush could have his cash safe, his drug safe, his Golden Eib microphone safe. Again under the mattress is not logical 7)Rush is Mr Computer savy. He knows about computer forensics. Why would anything about his drug use/acquisition be on the computer. Wouldn't it have been easier to just ask her while she was in the house. Again this is not logical. In reference to #4 above, Ms Cline could have planted it. Sure will be intresting to see if the Emails purportedly from him match his syntax or her syntax. 8)The oblique reference to "an attorney showing up with $100K" with the implication that this was hush money, and then the second visit with the admonition to not "sell Rush any more drugs". If there is any truth in the event at all , what would be more credible is that it was a democratic operative paying for setting Rush up. Drug dealer working for Rush would be scandal enough but drug dealer working for Rush that plants drugs in Rush's house so that when it was raided they knew exactly what toilet tank to look in would be so much more wonderful. Could discredit the entire conservative movement. Think they wouldn't do it. Look at Florida 2000, Look at New Jersey 2002. Look at Hill/bill. Homicide is within the realm of possibility 6)For those of you that have suggested that Rush was covering for Marta, You need to go stand in front of a mirror and slap yourselves repeatedly. This is total unsubstantiated character assissination. There is simply no excuse acceptable. 7)Rush has been in drug rehab twice. Just when do you suppose this has taken place. There has been suggestions that It was when/instead of his ear surgery.Problem is his Doctor agreed to be interviewed. The news was full of the technology, the technique. It was all very public. If Rush had enough money to buy a Md for a very public lie like that why couldn't he buy a doctor to get his scripts for drugs. Rush is a very public person, He takes public vacations. He is seen on golf courses with other people, He attends exclusive dream locations. He is always seen. When did these secret confinments for drug dry out take place. He can document his location damn near every day, and what's more so can other people 8)I have a bridge that bidding starts on very soon. I expect offers from many of you. If you are stupid enough to buy a story like this without even questioning that it is a set designed to destroy every conservative spokes person then you must change your party affiliation immediately.

I have taken the liberty of formatting your paragraph for you and I did not change a thing (not even the little numbering problem:). Reason being, at least there is another sane voice on this board.

The truth will come out. These brain surgeons on this board, if they know so much, should book themselves on Larry King.

Rush is biding his time, will wait until the liberal idiots and the press stories run out of gas on this thing, then he will have the last word (and laugh). Everytime a mouth shoots off against him in the press, it's another inch of rope for Rush to hang them with later.

I sincerely believe that he is quietly smiling, polishing the golden EIB microphone, and waiting. Rush and his advisors are certainly not dummies, and I have a feeling the last play in this game will be extremely interesting and entertaining. Could the National Enquirer become the 'EIB Enquirer'? Time is on his side, and he is correct in playing it close to the vest at this point.

Thanks for the kindness technomage.
My first post, my first rant and did it all with very little computer literacy. I tried to ready the Html stuff but it wasn't exactly helpful. I'll have to get my sweetie pie to decipher it for me. When I was trying to write this during the lulls on the line, I really did have paragraphs. Imagine my surprise when the demon that infects the computer universe sucked them all away.

With this being my virgin excursion I had deoderant failure anticipating that I would screw up big time and all of my rant and gut churning would up in the trash somehow. I nearly had heart failure waiting for my post to actually show up on the website.

Hopefully I will grow up soon and rank amatuer will not be as obvious every time I try to comment. I feel humbled to be allowed into the ranks of the esteemed.

Gentle with your spurs, I haven't had a saddle on long

Hey, great post! I agree with you.... The accusations are pretty "Dastardly" and can't be true.

Rush may have received some pain meds for his troclear implant for a short time period (ie 2 weeks or so). He certainly is no drug addict.

As I said(more or less) on another thread, does that mean 'The Limbaugh Letter' will now be available at the checkout line? ;-)

LOL! Imagine the grannies and soccer mom's being exposed to conservative ideals and Rush's common sense, wit and humor at Kroger's, etc. Too cool!

Addicts and dealers are notorious for forging prescriptions, too. Changing the number of refills if they find the actual prescription slip, etc.

Thus far, based on what I've read from Palms Spring's news sources, the local police are denying that Rush is a part of any investigation there. However, even IF he is (part of an investigation), one can be a "part of an investigation" as a witness, as well -- for example, if the housekeeper took bottles from the medicine cabinet to the pharmacy and GOT the refills, and then returned the bottles back where she found them.

There will be those who prefer to believe the worst. That was the point for the way and the timing in which this story was made public. It's part of a concerted effort to discredit, and, in the dreams of those liberals about to attempt to operate their own "acknowledged" liberal networks, to silence the primary conservative voice.

Thank you for your valuable input regarding drug use warning signs.

Yes, the vast amount of drugs claimed by that tabloid-- let's not forget it's a frigging tabloid under Clintonista influence that just paid a potentially disgruntled employee $100,000.

"He has been in the front taking the arrows for all of you guys for 15 years. He has whole books written about what an idiot he is. He has had his every word analyzed and commented on for years."

Excellent point. Rush is a shield for other conservatives as well as a spear.

Many FReepers go through a panic phase. I know I did. When I was first exposed to all the stuff going on by the left, I did everything I could to pressure conservatives to dish out all the red meat possible. [I still believe that is the best way to go, BTW.] During Panic Phase, an intermediate level FReeper will never be content with a high level radio host wasting valuable air time. In fact, intermediates will go nuts about it and hate the very leaders who lead the charge for not charging ahead quickly enough. It's normal. Then others hold grudges for other reasons.

It doesn't mean they don't contribute, however. Conflict at some level is normal when a place is politically vibrant. Just look at the Washington, Adams, and Jefferson triangle. That was pretty vibrant too. FReegards....
