In the same manner of thinking, I don't think that Rush Limbaugh's addiction to prescribed painkillers affects his accurate take on politicians, political parties or the media. However, I agree with the editorial of Oct. 14 ("While in hospital, Rush should get empathy transplant") that his take on individuals with any handicap has never been entirely correct or very compassionate.
