Mathews RUSH, BILL AND JESSE What are the penalties for possession of an illegal drug? It seems that there are two different standards in this country. One for the privileged (Rush Limbaugh), which involves treatment, even for multiple offense, and jail, probation and fines for the rest of us. Where are all the ditto heads and their "Rush is Right" slogan spewing their zero-tolerance drug policy toward their leader? Lock 'em up along with the femi-nazis and bleeding heart liberals who think treatment is better than jail! After reading two of his books and listening to his radio show it is clear that Rush is a racist. It is not just the football incident involving a great quarterback. You can see it in his books and hear it on his radio show. Nothing a hypocrite does surprises me. Not Jimmy Swaggert and his "I have sinned" sob story. Not Bill Clinton's "I did not have sex with that woman" speech, or Rev. Jesse Jackson's baby outside marriage. Yes, hypocrites come in all political parties and races. So here we have one of the most vocal anti-drug, zero-tolerance talkers who thinks the law applies to his opponents but not him. Come on all you ditto heads. Stand up and tell me that it is right for Rush to avoid criminal prosecution for illegal drug possession and drug use. Charles A. Mathews, Pensacola - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
