A DITTOCRITE

EDITOR: ... I don't believe that radio personality Rush Limbaugh's comments
about Donovan McNabb were racist comments. ... I disagree with him on this
and most other things he says, but the comments in this case were not truly
racist.

His prescription drug problem is another thing. Many people find themselves
going down roads they wish they weren't. It happens in a gradual way and
the next thing they know, they are making some very poor choices.

However, it's much different when the affected person is a high- profile,
self righteous, holier-than-though public scolder like Rush Limbaugh, Bill
Bennett, Jimmy Swaggert or other "let me tell you how to live" hypocrites.

These purveyors of righteousness are writing books, making speeches and
conducting daily rants about the weaknesses and defects of others while
obviously making exceptions for their own behavior. ...

Mr. Limbaugh only came clean after he was "outed" by The National Enquirer,
of all papers. If it turns out that he is not only addicted but was buying
the "medicine" from illegal sources, he is really no better than a crackhead.

As a human being, I hope he is able to beat this problem, but his overall
credibility is forever tarnished. Hypocrisy is not a virtue.
