Not only was Rush involved in a practice that is considered illegal, he did it by involving a doctor (or teo) who would provide him with bogus scrip. People go to jail for that (unless they, like Rush, can afford to "buy" their ways out.
Rush never distanced himself from his "fail" statements. He only modified it a day or so after he made it to say that"What I meant was that I want his policies to fail".
I see that the real fight among the GOP leadership is between Bush and Cheney. Seems that Bush blames Cheney for his failed presidency, and Dheney wants Colin Powell out of the party.
