He knows he BLEW it big time, he knows he risked his life, his reputation, his marriage, and that BY THE GRACE of GOD, he may just have been spared.

Can't disagree with that.

However, I've never thought Rush was perfect. Which may be why his prescription pain medicine addiction didn't render me squirrelly the way it did other people.

His political opinion is of value to me and millions of other like-minded folks. Does that make us unthinking? Nah, it just means we like his show, not to mention Rush as a person. It's funny how that so angers some.

prescription pain medicine....for which he did not have scripts?

I do hear you, the political philosophy and values he espouses should be the major attraction. People want to hear what he has to say. Question is, will his words carry the same impact they did, especially if the legal stuff rumored would turn out to be the worst case scenario...Damage is done either way.
