A rather low blow, Deb.
I was merely pointing out the outing/chortling frenzy is practiced with aplomb by members from both sides of the aisle, and, yes, it is disgusting.
Sometimes I forget and think this forum actually accepts dissenting opinions.
You've refreshed my memory.
Thanks.
That is funny.
Your post might have appeared to have some sort of weight had you not been merrily demonstrating the behaviour you affect to criticise by picking over the bones of old scandals immediately before it.
Yep, it's Limburger's hypocracy that makes this gossip-worthy. But for that, I would not have given it much notice.
Actually, all. I think what has happened here is that we have mistakenly turned this into a political issue as opposed to a legal issue.
Rush is a propagandizing host and substance abuser, and O.J. was a football hero that was found innocent in criminal court, and guilty in civil court. Frankly, I worry more about double jeopardy than I do about either.

Agreed, Edgar.
But, Letty, I think it IS a political issue, because Limbaugh's role makes it so. Using politics in a broader sense, I mean.
So you think civil trial ought not to be a possibility in such situations, Letty?
Well, Deb. I have mixed emotions. O.J. has not paid one dime as yet, so I think civil court is worthless in that respect. I had a student who was acquitted of murder in district court and then tried in federal court because drugs were involved. Everything is politics, of course, but the court system in America, scares me.
Political commentator, radio host, college drop-out, alleged
closet homosexual, and, as recently revealed, synthetic heroin
drug addict, Rush Hudson Limbaugh III is probably the best
known neocon personality in American radio.
Born in Cape Girardeau, MO, in 1951, Limbaugh spent many of
his formative years pursuing a career in radio.
After using his pilonidal cyst - a congenital birth defect - to
avoid military service in the Vietnam War, Limbaugh briefly
worked for radio stations in Pittsburgh, PA and Kansas City,
MO. Fired from both jobs, he worked as a wiener salesman for
the KC Royals baseball franchise, eventually slithering back into
the radio business.
In 1971 Limbaugh attended Southeastern Missouri University,
where, according to reports, he had a brief but heated affair
with Elliot Sanders. So gay is Limbaugh, guarantees Sanders,
that, "none of his marriages was ever consummated."
Many of Limbaugh's fans staunchly deny the man's alleged
homosexuality, and Limbaugh himself says the rumors are
politically motivated lies. However, one is forced to doubt
Limbaugh, who has a history of denying and balking at rumors
that are later revealed to be true. His pilonidal cyst, his
pseudonymous career in Pittsburgh radio, and his addiction to
Oxycontin are all facts which Limbaugh initially denied or
concealed.
After more failed stints with Missouri radio stations Limbaugh
moved to Sacramento, CA, where he met and became "friends"
with Norm Woodruff, a flamboyant, openly gay man with a
great deal of influence in the local radio scene. Woodruff, who
mentored Limbaugh in the ways of affluence and elitism (traits
Rush mocks today), would later died of AIDS.
Through his ties to Woodruff Limbaugh was given Morton
Downey, Jr.'s spot on KFBK News Talk 1530 a.m. Within
twelve months Limbaugh had become the most popular radio
personality in Sacramento. In 1988 he signed on with EFM
Media Management, working from New York City.
For a short while Limbaugh plateaued, until the success and
enormous popularity of a Democratic president provided him
with a reason to whine.
The popularity and charisma of President Clinton enabled
Limbaugh's hate-filled show to appeal to millions of bitter
American conservatives. Limbaugh's unique combination of
prevarication and histrionics provided a sense of unity for
otherwise incompatible demographics, such as Klansmen and
Wall Street stock brokers.
For years Limbaugh fooled his audiences into believing his whining was something much more noble.
By the mid-90's Limbaugh's promoters had co-opted his show
to enough nationwide syndicates to claim Limbaugh was the
"most popular radio personality" in the country. Technically this
was false. However, the free handout out of Limbaugh's show
to any station that wanted it resulted in Limbaugh being the
most listened-to man on a.m. radio.
Inspired by Clinton-induced vitriol, Limbaugh paid a ghostwriter
to author for him See, I Told You So (1992), Nanny Nanny,
Boo Boo (1993), and I'm Rubber. You're Glue. Whatever You
Say Bounces off Me and Sticks to You (1994).
After miserably failing on television, Limbaugh spiraled into
depression, eventually becoming addicted to pain pills
prescribed to him for his pilonidal cyst (a.k.a. "Butt Boil"). For
nearly eight years Limbaugh abused Hydrocodone, a synthetic,
stronger version of heroin.
In effect, Limbaugh spent nearly a decade stoned off his
bleeding backside, and ultimately built up his tolerance to levels
requiring dozens of pills per day in order to, as Limbaugh once
confided in his maid, "get my buzz on."
A textbook example of the damning effects of drug abuse,
Limbaugh's addiction precipitated a swift drop in weight,
deafness in both ears, and a marked decline in mental faculties.
He also became increasingly paranoid - requiring his provider to
meet him at night behind restaurants, next to dumpsters,
where he'd hand over cigar boxes stuffed with "cabbage" (cash)
in exchange for some "little baby blues" (pills). Limbaugh's
desperation peaked in 2003, when he groped his provider in an
attempt to check her for a wire tap.
I also agree with Letty that our criminal system is a frightening thing. It is common knowledge that the rich face a different justice than the poor, despite facing the same laws.

Merely pointing out your grandstanding hypocrisy.
Suck it up, honey. You ain't Oprah.

All the above blurb would seem to me to be a perfect exemplar of the down side of fame..........who needs to have their pilonidal cyst the subject of sniggering gossip?
dlowan, I just found it interesting based on the simple reasoning that the republican party also heavily supported by fundamentalist christians who make every effort to take away equal rights for gays and lesbians doesn't reconcile with Limbaugh's politics. I thought it was self-explanatory.

Some of this info is wrong.
Limbaugh has only written 2 books,"The way things ought to be" and "See I told you so".
As for him being gay,why does that matter and why is it important?
I dont know,nor do I care,if he is gay or not.
I do find it interesting that the only people it seems to matter to are the people that say its wrong to worry about a persons sexual orientation.
As for the rest of the info,I dont know or care.
If Limgurger were not a public figure, hypocritically railing against drug users and gays, we probably could all ignore it.

Talking about info that is wrong, Mysteryman, did you ever see or acknowledge
this post? Considering the hissyfit you threw earlier about other people saying Limbaugh had been "arrested", it might be good form to note it..

He saw it - just didn't acknowledge it....
Probably trying to decide whether to deny he ever disputed the word was used, or denigrate the cited sources. Never, ever the simple truth from the scum sucking bushophiles.....

Nothing like using ignorant twerpy little quips to win more friends over to your side, eh, Snood? The simple fact that some people believe what George Bush says and admire him as a President is always another chance for leftist liberals to come out whining. Scum sucking? Bushophile? Liking is not loving, not so sorry to burst your bubble.
Speaking of truth, when was the last time Bill Clinton told the truth?
Fellow A2K poster doesnt acknowledge the truth when pointed out a factual error - but thats OK, cause Bill Clinton didnt speak the truth either.
That makes perfect sense ... in someone's world.
I think every drug addict should get the deal that Limbaugh is getting, including him. I also he think he is a disgusting, opportunistic, hateful hypocrite. Maybe he needs the drugs to feel better about being such a complete piece of ****. I know I would.
