Now don't misunderstand, I do have compassion for some of those who have addictions. What I don't have compassion for are those people who live in glass houses who enjoy throwing stones. Rush Limbaugh is one of this country's biggest stone throwers. Limbaugh, as well as other high profile media talking heads, is very good at pointing fingers, blaming, slandering, accusing and pointing out all of everybody else's sins. But when they themselves are in a negative spotlight, that's different. We heard several days of his "not wanting to talk about" his breaking the law to get these illegal drugs and now we all are supposed to feel sorry for him. Well, I don't. Limbaugh took part in illegal activities and should be prosecuted just as anyone else. Now he's going to a rehabilitation center and I guess we all are just suppose to be supportive. Maybe while he's in there he'll learn about pots that call kettles black. Tim Oliphant Lewisburg 37091 - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
