He Must Have Been on Drugs…

Rabid
Rush Limbaugh is really taking heat for, well, just for being Rush,
I guess.
Frankly, it couldn’t be happening to a nicer guy.

First, on the football front, it took the guy all of three weeks
to put his foot so firmly in his mouth that ESPN and parent Disney
pulled
the plug on his "NFL Sunday Countdown". Hey, even Dennis Miller lasted
a whole season on Monday Night Football. He stunk, but he hung in there
a full season.

That is no surprise, given that Limbaugh has dropped such gems on the American
public as once telling a black listener to take a bone out of his nose
and declaring that a Mexican won the New York Marathon because an immigration
agent chased him for the last 10 miles.

A possible explanation is offered by that bastion of American journalistic
integrity, The National Enquirer, also written up in today’s
Globe.

For its story about the drug investigation, the Enquirer had interviewed
Wilma Cline, who said she became Limbaugh’s drug connection after working
as his maid. She said he had abused OxyContin and other painkillers. Ed
Shohat, a Miami lawyer for Cline and her husband, said yesterday, ”The
Clines stand by the story."

Rush Limbaugh a pill-popping pain-killer junkie? Who knew? I am forced
to begrudgingly admit that there is finally something to respect him for.
