Look, up in the sky...

It's a falling star!

It's a meteor!

It's an asteroid!

Wrong. The firey object falling to earth is none of those.

It's...it's...RUSH LIMBAUGH.

Well, some of us knew he was a big phoney all along. I remember the
unkind words he had for people with such "weak will" that they would
allow themselves to become addicted to drugs.

Let's see...if we go by Rush's own advice for handling illegal drug
users, Rush will be spending some time in the pokey. Of course, I'm
sure he has softened his views on that issue, a bit.

But he's a multi-millionaire and he will buy his way out of trouble.
Jeb Bush will probably give him a pardon anyway.

Yeah, it's off-topic. But I think there are enough in the SAA crowd
interested in Rush's fate to bring it up.

Another word for phony is "hypocrite." I can deal with that, however;
after all, lying and hypocrisy are the very foundations of the
so-called conservative movement. It's the hatred and mean spiritedness
that bother me. Hate the handicapped, hate the poor, hate the AIDS
victims, hate the Jews, hate the gays, hate those who are ill with drug
addiction, hate the people of color, hate the immigrants...

Yeah, it's off-topic. But I think there are enough in the SAA crowd

I don't wish ill on any man, including Rush Limbaugh. I wish him a
speedy and full recovery, and a new outlook on life.

Right, and another name for hyprocrite is Democrate. People like you
invented lying and hyprocrisy, so why are you pinning it on the conservative
movement?

Glad you wish Rush well, I do too. I believe Rush will beat this addiction
and be back stronger than ever.

I wouldn't normally respond to an off-topic posting, but...

(1) Limbaugh has long been proud of his addiction to tobacco (the gateway
drug).

(2) Please don't equate all conservatives with Limbaugh's crowd.

(3) Please note that it is wrong to accuse people of "hate" (or other
serious faults) without substantial evidence. Plenty of conservatives don't
hate anybody.

Rush was proud of his addiction to food until it became apparent that
it was going to kill him. His addiction to drugs is illegal, so he
could not make jokes about it.

(2) Please don't equate all conservatives with Limbaugh's crowd.

It's understandable, since "Limbaugh's" people are the ones making all
the noise. BTW, Limbaugh's people are pretty much the same crowd as
Pat Robertson's, Ralph Reed's, Randall Terry's...

Do you think it wrong to accuse people of "hate" after they make
comments like the following?

Randall Terry, one of the darling conservatives, said himself, that
hate and intolerance are good things. He suggested that Christians
let a wave of hate wash over them when facing their enemies--the
liberals. I accuse Terry of hate, and apparently he has confessed.

"I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you. I want
you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good...Our
goal is a Christian nation. We have a Biblical duty, we are called by
God, to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want
pluralism."--Randall Terry, Founder of Operation Rescue, The
News-Sentinel, Fort Wayne, Indiana, 8-16-93

In referring to doctors who perform abortions, Terry said, "When I, or
people like me, are running the country, you'd better flee, because we
will find you, we will try you, and we'll execute you. I mean every
word of it. I will make it part of my mission to see to it that they
are tried and executed."

Rather redundant question, wasn't it.

Beats me. I hesitate to think what would happen if we were all to
rush into limbo like this.
Not another poor soul forced at gunpoint to take drugs by those
immoral drug dealers?
It might not be all bad news though: I wonder if he can claim his
'expenses' back against taxes?

Randall Terry,

Limbaugh is not Terry. That you resorted to finding something Terry
said, shows that you had trouble finding Limbaugh saying something
similar. Some of the more clever Limbaugh critics (which isn't saying
much) say that Limbaugh uses coded language, i.e., that he doesn't say
what they claim he says, but really that's what he means. (yeah,
right)

It's been known for a long time that the hate and disdain the average
liberial holds for a particular conservative is a true measure of that
individual's importance and success. Rush must be very important indeed, as
the only individual whom the libs hate more is George W. Bush.
