I knew a very conservative atheist who got very upset at how the liberals were trying to remove “under God” from everything. His opinion: If ya don’t believe in God, why make a fuss over Him?

By the way, excellent smear tactics from the hit-and-run trolls. Maybe the NYT should be reading your blog, Gaius!!

Rule Number one: A drug addict is a self-destructive liar. He’ll lie when it’s in his best interests to tell the truth. Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict. He will do illegal things even when it’s in his best interests to do the legal things.

You are all trying to cover this Viagra thing up by telling yourselves it’s “minor-league, second-degree misdemeanor stuff.” Guys. It’s illegal. You sound just like the mother of the serial killer who’s been caught red-handed, found guilty and sits on Death Row, but good old mom swears up and down what a nice boy her son is and how he wouldn’t hurt a fly!

That’s the truth.

It’s practically guaranteed that a drug addict will relapse at least once. More often than not, they go back to using and eventually die. All of you who make light of Limbaugh’s disease are refusing to see how deeply disturbed Rush Limbaugh must certainly be.

As far as this goes, there’s far too little information to actually pass judgment at all not that it’ll stop the flood of lefty bloggers from doing so anyhow. Frist, Limbaugh wasn’t in possession of Viagra without a prescription. He was in possession of a bottle of Viagra that didn’t have his name on it. That’s a second-degree misdemeanor – minor-league stuff that rarely sees the light of day on the local paper’s police blotter. Second, it would not surprise me to know that, in order to protect the privacy of their patients, doctors do not issue prescriptions in the names of their high-visibility clients, to prevent snoopers from getting that information and blaring it all over the tabloids. Were I a physician, I’d sure as hell do it.

It’s not much of a shock to see folks who would normally scream themselves into a coma of privacy rights gleefully pushing this story to anyone who’ll listen. After all, it’s Rush Limbaugh and, as we all know, he doesn’t deserve the same rights as those who think correctly.

Possessing prescription drugs without a prescription is a clear violation, even if it is only something to help the old blowhard get it up. Rush Limbaugh flouts the law and receives favorable treatment.
