Nobody can counsel an alcoholic or other addict like a recovering alcoholic or addict can. And nobody knows better the value of family than s/he who has lost one.
See, this is
just the type of "double speak" that drives me absolutely bonkers. I mean, to the point where I just want to throw my hands up, walk away and never deal with people again.
When Rush was "sober", he insulted drug addicts / marriage lifestyles (of people he didn't like) and that was fine. His "ditto-dickheads" just swallowed the bile, agreed with him and asked for more.
Now, it turns out he was a drug addict. All of a sudden, "nobody knows better who to counsel" other people?!?! Are you shitting me? Do you hear yourself when you say things like that? Are you on oxycotin yourself? [/pulling my hair out of my head]
Anyway, here are a few more examples of " Double speak" that drive me
insane:
1-
Bush and terrorist attacks:
A)
If we are attacked again, it just goes to show that we can't "change leaders" during a time of crisis. So we should vote Bush.
B)
If we are not attacked, it just goes to show that Bush's actions are on point and he's a reason why there hasn't been another attack. So we should vote Bush.
2-
Bush and Osama:
A)
If we find him: Bush made a promise and he kept it. He swore to catch the mastermind of 9-11 and did it. Osama is no more. So we should vote Bush.
B)
If we don't find him: It doesn't matter. We've attacked the Taliban and Osama isn't in a position to lead them anylonger. So we should vote Bush.
Am I the only one that is slowly being driven to the nuthouse by people who do this?
