I think that if you can look at this situation and still believe there is NOT a liberal bias in the mainstream media, then you area hopelessly loss fool.

So many people out there were wanting something, anything, to attack Rush on and this is the best they can come up with??!!

Now, the painkiller pill thing - I will just have to wait until some facts are released. I can understand how easy it is to get addicted to those things, but also the source of the article was some former housekeeper type person that had it published in National Enquirer. Not quite the most redeeming mode of 'rating' somebody out.

I suspect his decision to resign has more to do with the headlines splashed all over the covers of the New York Daily News this morning than anything to do with his football comments.

Rush Limbaugh in pill probe

The NY Times is qouting a story that is going to run in the national enquirer.

A FORMER employee has made accusations.

Yeah this is totally for real.,

It does not matter whether it is real or not, the damage will be done by then in the inevitable media frenzy that will take place. All that remains to be seen at this point is whether he will hold his core audience for his daily radio show. Everything else is nothing more than side work. I don't need to make any judgements about Limbaugh personally to know exactly how this is going to hit the media since we have all seen it play out so many times in our lives. I don't have to be a liberal to conjecture about how this whole thing will play out in the media irregardless of the ultimate validity of the charges.

If its not real god help all those reporting it because Rush would have valid lawsuits in the the several hundred million dollar range.

The whole Rush addictted to pain killers makes no sense. The crime Rush committed will be small compared to the multiple felonies that the house keeper would have committed if true. I dont by any of it, simply because its far to convienent for this to come out while the media and liberals are making a mountain out of a mole hill(his non racist comments, that were fairly accurate)

If he wasn't so deserved of this most people wouldn't give a sh!t.
