Quote:"He started off playing a chauffeur in 'Driving Miss Daisy,' and then they elevated him to head of the CIA, and then they elevated him to president and in his last role they made him God. I just wonder, isn't Rush Limbaugh right to question the fact, is he that good an actor or not?"

Hey, I have an opinion about Pat Robertson: The man should be beaten with 700 clubs.
Line forms to the left.

Don Imus kicks Limbaugh
KICKING RUSH
By JOHN MAINELLI
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don Imus didn't let his own drug problems deter him yesterday from making fun of Rush Limbaugh going into rehab.
October 14, 2003 -- DON Imus showed Rush Limbaugh no mercy yesterday, even though Imus himself was off the air several times during the 1970s and '80s because of cocaine and alcohol addiction.
"Rush is a fat, pill-popping loser and an undisciplined slob who was turning his maid into a drug pusher, and she's the one who's gonna go to prison, and - as soon as he gets caught - he starts whining," Imus ranted yesterday on his WFAN wake-up show.
"He's going to rehab because he can't get any more pills and he's gonna go to prison," Imus said.
Limbaugh stunned his radio audience last Friday by announcing that he's leaving the air for 30 days to battle an addiction to prescription pain killers following reports that his maid had sold him massive amounts of black-market pills over a four-year period.
"Suck it up, fatso, and stop taking 100 pills a day or whatever . . . and employ some discipline in your life," Imus said, while offering Limbaugh some recovery advice.
"The rehab I went to was Hazleton, and there's a Hazleton in West Palm Beach, probably a couple of blocks from where Rush lives," Imus said. "Hazleton is hard core. You don't want to go to one of those chi-chi deals, these country clubs, these co-ed deals - you might as well check into the Four Seasons," Imus advised.
"You need to go hard core."
Hazleton spokesperson Jackie Halderman told The Post that federal rules prohibit the Florida rehab facility from confirming or denying enrollment.
"I'm sure everyone is praying that [Limbaugh] recovers from the disease of addiction," Halderman said.
When an e-mailer suggested that Imus lay off the top-rated talker because of his own past experience with addiction, Imus said he's simply giving what he got.
"Everybody made fun of me - and still does," he said. "When I went to rehab, [Howard] Stern was hilarious."
Meantime, Al Franken, the outspoken political humorist who wrote "Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot," told CNN he has no sympathy for the "hypocritical" conservative superstar.
"He called my friend Jerry Garcia 'just a dead doper' when he died," Franken claimed.
"He's a dishonest demagogue."
Sean Hannity, the Fox News Channel personality whose own syndicated radio show follows Limbaugh's on WABC, said he wishes Limbaugh a speedy recovery - but he warned it won't be easy.
"I know the Rush critics out there - the 'those who want to see any conservative fall on their face' crowd - will probably meet the news with glee and joy and happiness," Hannity told his radio listeners.
"The real liberal compassion will show its true colors here," he said.
Rush Limbaugh is a sad and pathetic man.
Even his reported $32 million/year salary from the Premier Radio Network, couldn't make him happy. Only in his addiction did Rush find solace.
I have no use for Rush's conservative musings. He is much too far to the right for my tastes. Often, he strikes me as hateful.
Nevertheless, I hope rehab this time will be a success for him.
Some people -- and Rush is likely one of them -- seem to hide in rehab, thinking it is the answer to their addiction. Actually, it is only the first part of the first awakening to one's personal addiction.
Will Limbaugh do hard time if he is convicted?
Some recent sentencings suggest so:
Quote:"BROOKS and RUSSELL each face a statutory maximum sentence of 60 years imprisonment, and a fine of up to $6,000,000. They are scheduled to be sentenced on November 25, 2003."
Quote:"BARTON faces a statutory mandatory minimum penalty of 80 years in prison and fines of $3 million when he is sentenced November 10. ALALUSI faces a statutory maximum penalty of up to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $1 million when she is sentenced November 3."
Quote:"He also was sentenced to 21 years and 10 months in prison for illegal acquisition and distribution of OxyContin."
Quote:"A federal jury Thursday convicted Lockwood resident Jack Glendale Standley on two charges that he distributed OxyContin, a strong prescription painkiller, but acquitted him of two other drug counts. Standley, 72, faces up to 30 years in prison and a $2 million fine on the distribution convictions."
A Google of "sentenced oxycontin possession" turned up the above.

well, as long as people are eager and willing to listen to the likes of limbaugh, don imus and pat robertson(yes, i do throw them all into the same pot), they'll stay on the air and will rake in the money. that"s the way this game works. hbg

Thank you for the Google search.
I think, however, that Rush will experience a "born-again Christian" conversion while he is in his third round of rehab. Based on this conversion, he will become a leading spokesman for the fanatical Christian right-wing of the Republican party.
Rush's radio commentary rarely delves into spiritual matters. But to save his formerly rotund butt from the jailhouse, his show will become a haven for Christian rightists. Thus, public opinion will keep him out of jail.
Care to bet?
:wink:
Has anyone listened to David Limbaughs update on his brother ?
" He's not turning into a liberal "
I actually LOL'd
It was said in that joking but not really joking manner.
Comedy Central from the Rush camp.
Shouldn't he be getting out of rehab soon?
Will he return to the airwaves, or be arrested?
I've still got $50 on the "born again" conversion.
