RUSH, REDUX

Well, Rush has come out and admitted what we all knew was true – he is addicted to prescription pain killers. Addictions are a terrible thing, they are a physiological condition and can lead good people to do bad things and that’s what Rush seems to have done. I am sure some laws were broken and for that he should be punished. I expect MORE from those in positions of respect and influence and Rush is no different. I am VERY disappointed he let things get to the point where he had to break the law and get caught before he fully addressed the issue. It will be interesting to see what quotes we will get from Rush over the past few years about addictions, some in context, some out of context and we need to accept the ridicule Rush will receive when it is warranted.

That being said, we also need to stick by our man. As Lucianne Goldberg said last week, he was there for us in the darkest days and now we need to be there for him. One flaw does not ruin a piece of art and Rush still has INFINATELY many more good qualities than bad. He has a sharp wit and piercing mind that cuts through the baloney out there and presents the filet of the matter. (yeah, I’m hungry) So please, send out your prayers for his quick and total recovery and support him against the coming tide of gloating, exaggerations and “In you face!!” we will get from the left. All they can do is hate and with this revelation, their hatred has been fed a bit more.
