Well, let's see . . . Janet came on board immediately before Waco went down, really didn't know what she was doing, and fried 80 American civilians. She "took responsibility" for that, when nobody believed that it had been her doing--and no journalist ever considered asking if she was even thinking of resigning. Her "responsibility" was nothing but noise and smoke to distract the sheeple from the responsibility of the boss.Beyond which, she let the boss lie to her publicly and, when the lie was revealed for what it was, made nothing at all of the betrayal.
Rush had a physical misery which, in consultation with a doctor, he parlayed into deafness and addiction. Nobody I am aware of was injured by that, aside from Rush and those whose compassion for him cause them to suffer with him. When he says he takes responsibility, he forgives the doctor who tried to help but made things worse--and does not blame God for the original misery which he still has. There does appear to be some difference between the two cases, IMHO.
I got to this thread late, and haven't read every single post yet. Did he admit that his deafness was caused by his addiction? Or is that your logical surmise, now that he has admitted the addiction? BTW, I am not a Rush basher. I wish him success in overcominghis addiction.
