Rush: "Howard Dean admitted to being a binge drinker in his earlier days"

Actually Mr. Peanut Farmer (Jimmy Carter) is, on so many levels. "Goober Peas" are peanuts.

If he still has a drinking problem, that's good reason to be concerned, and to bring it up. If it's past, well, he obviously has some current problem...

[Kenny Bunkport]

I haven't met Pres. Bush either, but I suspect his beliefs have something to do with motives.

It pi**es me off to see FNC giving Sharpton as much air time as they give him.

Looking at that photo of Tweedledee and Tweedledum, it looks like Dean has really aged in two years.

You have that wrong. It's a picture of Tweedledum and Tweedledummer.

To highlight Dean's hypocrisy?

"The quote was taken out of context. Howard Dean admitted being a drinker "early in the day.""

I have it on audiotape, so can rewind it and get the exact quote in context if needed. I was trying to get the thread posted as fast as I could, so wasn't surprised to see that I misspelled "assassination". No doubt the transcript of the program will be posted at his web site later and I'll copy and paste it here. That will serve to correct any misquotes that were made here.

Right, if no one else will stand up for you in the press you have to do it yourself. That is all Rush did. Guess some people would like him to be more like a RINO and just try to get along.

[Kenny Bunkport]

Whatever. Why should it matter? We're talking about a personal problem that apparently is in the past. Playing in the gutter is still playing in the gutter, even if done by conservatives.

[Kenny Bunkport]

Do you draw the line at anything, or is everything free game?

"Why lower ourselves to their level?" #22 - Kenny Bunkport

You need to get up to speed with what's going on.

<real chuckle> that's the best of all.... :))

[Kenny Bunkport]

Please. You people are being childish.

[LYSandra]

All libs MUST be past drinkers-they all act really pissed off all the time. Maybe Deano should pour himself a tall one and jet down!

[smiley]

....drinking will do that to you.....

[Matchett-PI]

"Please. You people are being childish."

I see you didn't follow my advice to get up to speed by following my link. You are clueless.

[smiley]

....yep...definitely looks like Dean is still hitting the bottle...no doubt about it....

[FormerLib]

...host Tim Russert asked whether it is "appropriate for a physician to mock somebody who has gone into therapy and the abuse for drug addiction?"

So I guess Screamin' Howie's thinks that's just fine.

[pepperhead]

Well if I had a substance abuse problem in the past and you tried to make a issue of it and you had a substance abuse problem as well, that is fair game once you bring it up. Rush didn't say anything about Dean's substance abuse problem until Dean brought up his.
