I missed it. I am not a dittohead but I listen to him at least once a month. I think he is a good radio personality no matter politics. I was just curious as to what he would say about his month long treatment for his drug abuse.



I am glad he has a sense of humor about himself

What's gone on here since I've been gone? So I see that Ted Kennedy called a bunch of highly respected minorities "Neanderthals." The fact that Ted Kennedy is still in the Senate and hasn't been forced to resign, means that nothing's changed.



It's just a good thing Senator Kennedy didn't say it on ESPN, or he might have resigned.

    I thought RL's exit from ESPN was the confluence of Tom Jackson saying "he goes or I go" and his month-long absence due to rehab. And look, the Eagles are tied for the division lead.

    Didn't care about him before he left ... don't care about him now that he's back.

    hehe that's funny... RUSH IS A NEANDERTHAL.



    Umm... 3 of those nominees were women... is that the latest slander of women? neanderthal?



    it's clear he meant reactionary conservatives.

    I'm Going To Be The Best Me That I Can Be

    "I can no longer try to live my life by making other people happy. I can no longer turn over the power of my feelings to anybody else, which is what I have done a lot of my life. I have thought that I had to be this way or that way in order to be liked or appreciated or understood - and in the process, I denied myself who I was and I denied the other people I was talking to and relating with who I really am, and that isn't good. " -- Rush Limbo





    "You can boil it down to one real simple essence: I can't be responsible for anybody's happiness but my own, and if I allow somebody else the power to determine my happiness, then...well...that's something I don't want to do. I can't do any longer. I put myself first. Doesn't mean be rudely selfish. It just means I can't depend on other people to make me happy. I have to do that myself." -- Stuart Smalley, Stuart Saves His Family



    So "Stuart's" problem is that he isn't egotistical enough. Who

    Uh oh, chu-bakka struck down in mid post.



    Let me take a shot at his dying words:



    "Who.....woulda thunk it?"

    And now some words of my own.



    This isn't Rush's first go at treatment, only his latest and most public. I wonder if it's his last?



    As I posted when the story first broke, my experience with addiction and recovery suggest that he hasn't really made the hard changes that people who stay stopped manage to make. It's a lifelong process, and it requires sizable chunks of humility, compassion, and forgiveness.



    My guess is that we haven't heard the last of Mr. Limbaugh's travails. And as much as I dislike his message, I say that with real sympathy.
