Hopefully Rush will see his way through this and Americans can re-evaluate the Drug War. Is Rush any different than a crack head on the Lower East Side or a junkie in Hell's Kitchen?

Since this story broke a week ago, I have been vilified for just suggesting that Rush might have a drug problem, that he might have bought narcotics illegally, that his hearing loss might have been caused by drug abuse, and that his stance in support of the War on Drugs might be hypocritical.

For saying that, posters here have called me a drug addict, a drunk, a liar, and a Democrat.

I wonder if they'll show up to apologize for slandering me now that they have been proven wrong?

Good luck, Rush, and get well soon.

Well, "might" just turned to "does". I'm happy for you.

Rush was right to support the WOD and what is he is going through right now is evidence of just how destructive the abuse of even prescription painkillers can be.

His situation in know way makes your stance on drug legalization any less ridiculous and dangerous.
