Hence the reference to being able to differentiate between pain and uncomfortable....and sorry the pain experienced by addicts after withdrawal means you done fucked up and got yourself addicted in the first place.Again to hang the hypocrite with his own words that comes down to personal responsibility ....working on my 5th year with an unlimited vicodin script.....and still there is only one person responsible for my well being...ME

Withdrawal is not restricted to addicted people. People who are physically dependent also go through WDs. I know...I just took a brief holiday from my pain medication. 

Hippie feel free to correct me if possible,but doesn't physical dependancy indicate and define addiction.

Well... let's see how Rush spins the latest post-Bush era accusation: that VP Cheany was running his own "Joint Special Ops Team" to fly into a targeted country, kill a selected individual, then leave. All without Presidential knowledge, approval from Congress, or oversight from any governing body....

Yes, you read that right. Vice President Dick Cheany is now standing accused of running an illegal DEATH SQUAD.

More details as they become available.

MS, for what it's worth, so do I. Even for Rush, believe it or not.

But it doesn't matter. I have sympathy for a lot of people who were put into unfair situations and had to make difficult choices, but that doesn't mean I don't think they should be held accountable for those choices if they were the wrong ones. And Rush's choice, to break the law in order to feed his addiction, was the wrong one.

Life's a bitch - it's unfair sometimes. You still have to make the proper decisions in the face of whatever it is that's been dumped on you. You know what I'm talking about, right? It's called personal responsibility. Rush talks about it all the time.

Rush is a hypocrite... Now that I've said it, how many of you libs on here are for legalizing drugs, but criticize Rush for his addiction?

The mirror has two faces.

I wouldn't hold an addiction against him.  However I would hold against him the lies he told about his addiction and the effect it had on those who need medication and the jaded doctor's who responded to the Rush situation.  There was a direct response to that situation that many who live in pain suffered because the doctor's we even more afriad we were all addicts.  You can clean an addiction up... but charactor typically remains the same.  Willing to lie... willing to let other's suffer and go on as normal rather than working to undo some of the damage you have done... is what speaks the loudest to me and other pain sufferer's.  Yes... the mirror has two faces and I would think Rush see's double.. but then... he would have to have a heart to do so.

Well I don't see Rush working the steps... that's for sure.  He owes a lot of us an apology at least.  It's business as usual... I haven't seen where he admited his actions hurt a lot of people... he just goes off on his prideful take on the world with no concern for the wrong he does.

President Barack Obama's aides Rahm Emanuel and Robert Gibbs knew what they were doing when they declared Rush Limbaugh the leader of the Republican opposition. They were putting Republican politicians in a trap. Repudiating Limbaugh would mean alienating millions of conservatives and declaring Limbaugh's plainspoken conservatism — which many of those politicians share — outside the lines of the national debate. But neither could Republicans allow the insinuation that they take orders from a radio-host stand. If voters got that impression, they would look weak. Worse, the polls show more people dislike Limbaugh than like him.

The Republicans escaped this trap by saying that the White House was talking about Limbaugh in order to avoid talking about Obama's failure to come up with a financial-rescue plan. But now one Limbaugh controversy has been replaced by another. Instead of squabbling with Democrats about him, Republicans are arguing with one another. The subject of the dispute: Does Limbaugh help spread conservatism among Americans or turn them off from it?

I dont see him as hypocritical but if others in florida did the same exact thing then he shold be punished the same way.  How was he discovered as a dr shopper was by a democrat proescuiters fishing expedition.  Nobody else would have been found out that way.  Remember this when republicans play the same tricks back at democrats ;)

The radio host and his legal team have criticized Palm Beach State Attorney Barry Krischer (search), a Democrat, for opening the records and accused prosecutors of pursuing Limbaugh for political reasons. 

Oh for God's sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it was just a liberal Democrat conspiracy to silence Rush.
