Mike Walker on the Al Rantel Show: "If We're Wrong, Rush Could Own Us"

790am KABC Radio

He isn't the first good man who has had to deal with addiction.

I agree. Witness Don Imus and Larry Kudlow.

[jjbrouwer]

Rush can sue but...

...but he will be laughed out of court.

[longtermmemmory]

no he will not. If anything, the discovery process will yield a treasure trove of democrat manuvering.

The enquirer will settle FAST! They want their closets closed.

[slimer]

I've heard from observers that a hardcore oxycodone junkie will chew up an 80mg at once....that's like 8-11 Percocets/Percodans.

The greatest danger from taking large amounts of opioids is respiratory depression, which means you basically stop breathing. One can build up a tolerance to a certain point but beyond that you die.

[jjbrouwer]

You are delusional. The Enquirer doesn't have to settle for publishing a series of accurate stories.

[litany_of_lies]

What caused you to become a poster effective TUESDAY? Are you a messenger from Rush, a friend freelancing, or just a clever pretender?

As of 1:25 ET on Friday, it looks like the last item.

[Humidston]

And I thought I knew you as well, nopardons. But apparently I was wrong.

I always pay my own way - in case you need clarification. I am a conservative and conservatives always pay their own way.

So to you I say: Seek Help. Twelve step programs work.

[Cinnamon Girl]

The alcoholic I'm talking about isn't a friend's husband. He's my dad.

[Fred Mertz]

Listen tomorrow and you will get what you need to move on.

Hey man, thanks for the scoop. I wish only the best for El Rushbo and will keep him in my prayers.

[Nov3]

Fred,

Liberty sure called the program right but the content wrong.

[MileHi]

Hey newbie, your stock just crashed. Poser.

[Nachum]

I stand corrected. Rush has just come out (according to Newsmax) that he is checking into a rehab. May he recover quickly.

[Nachum]

Well, just as I posted to cinnemangirl. I was wrong. Newsmax just posted an item that Rush is going to a rehab for 30 days.

[Xenalyte]

Soooooooo? We're waiting.

[lonevoice]

Indeed. This was a reprehensible sham, and one that makes me very curious. As a post mortem, does anyone have thoughts as to why this person would perpetrate such a despicable hoax?

[sjeann]

How would this person know Rush was going to address this today if he was not Rush's friend? Any thoughts on that?

[Fred Mertz]

As a conservative you has known Rush for many years, I will only offer this: Rush does not abuse drugs of any sort and any rumors that he has are simply not true. I have discussed at length over the past week the rumors and the press story and unfortunately for the Enquirer, Rush will ultimately be very wealthy and a news editor of sorts come 6 mos. from now.

Nice try, Einstein, but at least you had the day correct.

[Xenalyte]

Lucky guess, I'd say at this point.

[Cinnamon Girl]

think you might be on to something here. The only flaw in the overall analysis is the time to vindicate. Rush can sue and will probably seek that course. With the materials he is probably gathering, I have argued he will be the next Nat. Enquirer owner. Let's wait and see. Listen tomorrow won't you!

This is what Liberty - Constitution for all posted last night. Does that sound like someone who thought Rush would be admitting to his addiction today? But then Michael Medved said today that none of Rush's co-workers had a clue about his addiction, so I think Liberty was just being hopeful.

[PRND21]

The charges are false and have no basis or truth.

You lying sack.
