In light of this preferential treatment. Why should any of us respect the law?
The liberal spinners have now focused on the
types of drugs allegedly being abused?
For the sake of consensus, let's assume everything liberals want to believe about Limbaugh is true: he was addicted to rich man street drugs, he drug shopped and got caught, he was pulled through the media meat grinder for three years, he pulled strings and got off with a handslapping, he was "arrested" & had his mugshot taken, and he hypocritically railed against drug abuse on his talkshow throughout it all. (Is that enough or should we also mention -- nudge-nudge-wink-wink -- his closeted flaming homosexual lifestyle?)
Switch the focus to the latest Kennedy debacle: he is addicted to richman drugs (bought a 30-day supply of Ambien lately?), he's had two drug-impaired car crashes inside of three weeks, despite his statements to the contrary strings were pulled for Kennedy by someone, he was not tested or "arrested," and he's now been whisked away to his home-away-from-home in Minneapolis.
Before being whisked, he attempts to don the mantle of martyrdom:
1) "I struggle every day with this disease, as do millions of Americans," he said.
Except that millions of mental health sufferers don't hop in the car and capriciously endanger lives - twice in 3 weeks.
2) "I've been fighting this chronic disease since I was a young man, and have aggressively and periodically sought treatment so that I can live a full and productive life," he said at a Capitol Hill news conference Friday.
Except it wasn't necessary to hop in the car and capriciously endanger lives - twice in 3 weeks.
3) "Of course, in every recovery, each day has its ups and downs, but I have been strong, focused and productive since my return," Kennedy said.
Hopping in the car and capriciously endangering lives - twice in 3 weeks - certainly qualifies as a "down."
4) "I simply do not remember getting out of bed, being pulled over by the police, or being cited for three driving infractions," he said.
But millions of your fellow sufferers manage to
not do that.
5) As Kennedy, 38, left the lectern, he shook his head when asked if he might resign. "I need to stay in the fight," said the congressman, who was elected in 1994. He did not take other questions.
That's certainly a matter of opinion.

I know many people who deal with mania, depression, and bipolar disorder in an exemplary fashion. The dignity with which they conduct their (often difficult) lives does more to erase the stigma associated with mental illness than the antics of this middle-aged son of privilege.
He is a hypocrite as are those who defend his actions and comments.
