October 14, 2003: Rush Limbaugh, the conservative icon of hate radio admitted that he had an addiction to prescription medications. He didn't say he was hooked on dope. His acceptance of responsibility consisted of blaming his doctor for a failed back surgery and for prescribing the medications. His decision to seek rehab was certainly prompted by the Florida federalies being seconds away from nabbing his infected ass.

Rush should get no pity or compassion from liberals. He NEVER cut anyone any slack; he needs to get pummelled every time he opens his duplicitous,  hypocritical mouth. He made millions by selling his "snake oil" to ditto sheep; nothing but a modern day charlatan peddling his uncaring, radical, right wing, racist venom. But I guess we know what he was really talking about when he said, "With half my brain tied behind my back."  He was on drugs!

I wonder if Ashcroft will accept a plea bargain?
