If Bill Clinton were an addict, here's how Rush might spin it
Hilarious - and right on the money.
If Bill Clinton were an addict, here's how Rush might spin it
By Bill McClellan
Post-Dispatch
10/12/2003
Somewhere in a parallel universe, where we are the same people but things have happened in slightly differently ways, Rush Limbaugh greets his loyal listeners this morning.
"Lots to talk about today. You all know already that Bill Clinton, our former president, has admitted an addiction to prescription drugs.
"It's interesting to see the way the liberal media are playing this. I'm looking at a copy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Saturday, October 11th, edition - the day after the big announcement. Well, the story is on Page 2, and right next to his photograph, in large boldface print, is the following quote: 'I take full responsibility for this problem.'
"That's interesting, folks, because if you look at his actual statement - not what the liberal media say he said, but what he really said - you get a different take on it. First, he says he's got back problems. So he's blaming it on that. Then he says he had surgery, but the surgery wasn't successful. So he's blaming it on the doctors. Then he says the pain medication was addictive. So he's blaming it on the pharmaceutical companies. Folks, he blames it on everybody but himself! But as long as he puts in that obligatory line about taking responsibility, that's what the liberal media are going to grab: Clinton takes full responsibility!
"Here's another interesting thing in his statement. I love this one. He says a lot of athletes have admitted drug problems and have been treated like heroes. Huh? Can you name one athlete who admitted a drug problem and was then treated like a hero? How about Darryl Strawberry? Maybe liberals thought Strawberry was a hero, but I don't think most of us felt that way. And then Clinton says, 'I refuse to let anyone think I'm doing something heroic here.'
"You want to know what that's about? He's telling his friends in the liberal media how he wants this thing played. He wants to be called a hero for admitting his problem. That's why liberals confuse so many people. They mean the opposite of what they say.
"And I'm telling you folks, the liberal media are going to do it. He's going to be a hero. I can already see the spin on this: Clinton accepts responsibility! Doesn't blame others!
"I know you don't believe me - 'Rush, not even the liberal media can pull that one off!' - but just watch. I'm telling you. Just watch.
"Another thing. I heard him on the radio the other day. He was whimpering, 'I want to tell you about this because you're like family to me.' If there are any liberals out there listening, I'd like to ask you this: Weren't you people like family six weeks ago? How about six months ago? Two years ago? But he didn't feel the need to tell you then, did he? So why now? You think it could be because he's been caught? Because his high-priced attorney has told him he'd better act remorseful?
"Speaking of getting caught, have any of you read about those tapes and e-mails the cops have? Heh, heh, heh. You won't read them in the mainstream press, or hear about them on the Clinton News Network, but they're a hoot. He sounds like he's auditioning for a part in the next Cheech and Chong movie. He calls money "cabbage," and he refers to his favorite pills as "blue babes." It's always interesting to hear the way somebody talks when he thinks nobody is listening.
"I know what liberals are going to say: 'This is a time for compassion.' Let me be very clear about this, folks. I have compassion. But my compassion is for all the people who believed in the guy. He was their shining star. He could do no wrong. But you know something? I probably don't have to worry. Because his followers are going to still believe in him. That's the thing about liberals! You can't convince them! You can show them the facts. You can say, 'Look, here is what he really said, and here is what he really did,' but they don't want to know the truth. That's the big difference between them and us. Liberals are afraid of the truth."

What those liberal experts didn't tell you is that it creates euphoria if you are not in pain. If you are in pain- it is just that- a pain killer. '
Man had countless surgeries on his spine, lowere back, many of them were not sucessfull. If I were in pain 24/7 I would be addicted too.
Rush just gained even more credibility points with me- he said that he is not a victim and he doesn't want to be treated like one. He took full responsibility for his problem and asked for our prayers and support.
I wish more people could take responsibility instead of blaming everybody.
Rushy will beat this addiction, he will be back in front of the golden EIB mic. and he will be stronger than ever.
Oh golly Stefan, like that article said, did he truly take responsiblity? Or did he blame his back surgery? The pharmaceutical companies for the level of addictiveness?

His shooting is deceptive.

Oh they probably will, but they will have some sort of spin on it.
The conservative media and their lackeys always do.

What is their to reply to? You all hate his guts because he's been making fools out of you for 15 years.
He took responsibility. As I always do, I listened to the whole statement, and he didn't blame anybody. He said specifically that he is not a victim and that he doesn't want to be thought of as a victim.
He said it was his problem and he is going to deal with it.
Man was in pain, medication was prescribed to him, he got hooked, so freaking what?
He's gonna be back behind the golden EIB mic in a few weeks,a nd he will be exposing your liberal lunacy for another 15 years.
Where did all the liberal "compassion" go?

He has been making a fool out of himself for the past 15 years - and of all the listeners that actually believe what has come out of his drug-addled mind. The man has not been off dope in 7 years, but you consider his words to be sane?
He blamed his back, his failed surgeries, etc - everything but his own weakness. (and BTW - if his back hurts so much, why is he been playing golf?).
We are showing him more compassion than he has EVER shown anyone that didnot believe his lies.......
The purpose of pain killers is to releive pain, so you CAN play golf, so you can function like a normal person. I've known a couple of people who were hooked on pain killers, and I understand this situation.
Rushy's listeners understand what's going on, they know he is right, they know that the left is wrong, but you are free to believe whatever you want.

Respect him all you want for his conservative talk, Stefan, but you have to admit the guy has a serious drug problem that goes way beyond pain-relief.
He was illegally obtaining pain medication and taking more than the suggested quantity. He was hooked. A drug addict is a drug addict is a drug addict. Some are guys in ratty clothes on the street and others wear Armani suits, but they're all still drug addicts.
I'm glad he's finally seeking help, but there's no need to try and spin it like he's different from any other addict.

Originally posted by SirStefan32 He already tried to get help two times without going public, but it didn't work since he had his radio show to take care of every day.
There is a difference between buying crack to get high, and buying pain medication to be able to function.

It's amazing how quickly he could take time off once the Enquirer broke the story... :roll:
Which leads to the question...is Rush seeking treatment because he is ready to break his addiction, or is he seeking treatment only because he was caught?
I hope it's the former and not the latter, because if he is not doing this for the right reasons a relapse is very likely.
And if you still think he was only taking the pills to "function"...what are you on?
