I have no delusions that I'm a saint. I'm flawed just like everybody else. Everyone knows that. Rush needs to suck it up, be a man and admit that he's no better than anyone else and that he fu cked up. But, no, it's time to play the victim. I'm sorry, it's this kind of passive aggressive stuff that people pull that bugs. Don't pick on me while I pick on others. Oy.

I heard the shows when he talked about his upcoming leave of absense and his discussions of the five weeks at the drug treatment clinic upon his return. He most certainly did suck it up and say he screwed up. Not in terms of criminal activity - he completely denies doctor shopping - but in terms of his own personal weakness in becoming addicted to pain killers.

While I despise Limbaugh, I think he's to be pitied. He has lost his hearing, probably due to the drug abuse, and I'm sure he's suffered more than public embarassment- we have a few addicts in our family and I know how much pain they go through. His behavior post-treatment shows he's just a weasel, though. If he gets out of this without charges it will be because of his celebrity- saying he didn't doc shop is ridiculous. Every addict doc shops, and if he's desperate enough to hit up his housekeeper and others for meds, chances are he did the same with the docs. I'd have a hell of a lot more respect for him if he owned up to what he's done, but he hasn't the cajones to do so.

It's too bad he feel that way about drugies and addicts since he is one himself. His self esteme and self respect must be very low. I feel sorry for him and I hope he can stay in recovery. He mght just learn something.

He has been in recovery programs for over 2 years now.
