Okay, the Rush Limbaugh/Patrick Kennedy thing

I haven't said anything here about Rush Limbaugh being arrested for illegal drug use, or Patrick Kennedy enterting treatment. Back on Firedoglake, Jane Hamsher says it better than I ever could:

[Rush] and his apologists on the right hope to keep him afloat with some phony story that draws a distinction between legal and illegal drug use. Rush was a drug gobbling pig who sent his $370 a week maid out to cop for him. He doctor shopped. He knew what he was doing was illegal and he tried to cover it up. He’s spent a lifetime bashing the ACLU but wasn’t afraid to go running to them when he suddenly started valuing his right to privacy, something he’s also spent a good deal of wind trying to destroy for others. Rush’s whole pitch is based on self-pity, deception and the demand for rights he would deny anyone else in the same situation.


It's the hypocrisy, stupid.
