LIMBAUGH IS MORE MANIPULATOR THAN PATIENT

Is The Post going to let Rush Limbaugh get away with it? Just because he is
wealthy and has a popular radio show, will The Post repeat his PR to make
him out to be a "patient" instead of a man under criminal investigation
("Talk host Limbaugh to enter drug rehab," Oct. 11)? If he broke the law,
shouldn't he take his medicine just like anyone else, or is he above the law
because he can hire a powerful lawyer?

Hasn't Rush himself said on his show that addicts are lower than the bubble
gum on his shoes and should be treated as such because they are liars? Rush
is an addict. Addicts lie; they lie to get what they want, they lie to
support their lifestyle, they lie to make sure they cover up the last lie.
Will The Post stand up to the Rush publicity machine or just accept the next
ad from Clear Channel about how great its on-air personalities are?
