LIMBAUGH'S 'SLED RIDE'

Recent revelations of Rush Limbaugh's addiction to "prescription
drugs" come as no surprise to many of us. One almost has to be stoned
to say and believe his hyperbole.

Another famous person has become addicted to legal pain medication due
to allegedly botched surgery. Gee, have we heard that one before? A
dope addict is a dope addict, prescription or not.

My cynical side would wager his "coming clean" is part of a legal
strategy his lawyers planned.

Limbaugh is on a sled ride down the slippery slope from the moral high
ground he claims when someone else sins. Bill Clinton's issues of
moral turpitude and Darryl Strawberry's cocaine addiction come to mind.

If he is convicted of trafficking in illegal prescription drugs, he
should be held in a cell where he can listen to his own self-righteous
pontificating about other people's shortcomings. Twenty-four/seven,
and in stereo!
