Limbaugh Says Drug Addiction A Remnant Of Clinton Administration

[Paragon]

WEST PALM BEACH, FL — Frankly discussing his addiction to painkillers, conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh told his radio audience Monday that his abuse of OxyContin was a "remnant of the anything-goes ideology of the Clinton Administration."

"Friends, all I can say is 'I told you so,'" said Limbaugh, from an undisclosed drug-treatment facility. "Were it not for Bill Clinton's loose policies on drug offenders and his rampant immorality, I would not have found myself in this predicament." Limbaugh added that he's staying at a rehab center created by the tax-and-spend liberals.

1. ya know...I would believe that he would be capable of blaming

the Clinton's for his drug addiction...

very funny Onion article though!

[salmonhorse]

2. Limbaugh doesn't need a drug rehab...

He needs a fucking lunatic asylum ~

:nopity:

[sendero]

3. I don't even think....

.... the dittoheads are going to buy this bullsh*t.

[Hammie]

4. Ahem...

The Onion is parody.

[Paragon]

6. I post one of these every week on DU

Usually get at least one or two that take it seriously. :D

[MoonRiver]

19. That's because

the zany/crazy/wild and far out wingnuts are saying virtually the same thing that we read on the Onion! :argh:

29. Hi Hammie!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[kodi]

5. gosh, such an impressionable and weak willed man.

i can hear flip wilson's voice reaching out of the heavens ...."the devil made me do it."

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

7. DAMMIT

I got myself in a tizzy before I realized it was from the Onion.
Oh, gods do I feel so damn foolish.

[soleft]

8. I was about to blow a gasket then show it was the onion

[Rose Siding]

9. He's tripping on steps 3-7 and

steps 8 and 9 may just kill him.

ONION! Why I oughta....

[Unforgiven]

10. Damit!

Can't you people see that poor Rush Limbaugh is the victim here.Jeeeze wake up and think like a............ well you know, they won't let me post that but....................Come On, poor Rush, my heart bleeeeeeeds purple piss. Really!

[Resistance Is Futile]

11. Haven't the dittoheads already made that argument?

Haven't some of the dittoheads already made this argument for real?

[Wickerman]

12. Exactly - Its not Mr. Personal Responsibility's fault

its Clinton's penis!

[northzax]

34. well c'mon now

if you spent eight years obsessing about a man's penis, especially as a hetero male, that would drive anyone to drugs, just to dull the image. I know if all I could think and dream about was a 50 year old man's dick, I'd drink myself silly every night.

[Cocoa]

15. yes, so again the Onion is only partly joking

i forget who it was, but it was on some cable news show.

[Terwilliger]

13. WHAT A FUCKING CREEP!

Dammit, people...the Repukes will fight you tooth and nail...fight back!

Rush Limbaugh is an unbelieveable twerp!

[Old and In the Way]

22. You are correct again Terwilliger!

But they won't fight Greens, et al, will they?

[librechik]

23. gotcha!

but I agree, he is an unbelievables twerp. even if it is the onion!

[niyad]

14. didn't he actually say something like this on an interview?

of course, with these nutcases running around, making the most absurd, illogical statements, it is hard to tell actual coverage from the onion

[linazelle]

16. This made me LOL

Unreal that he has the gall to even "go there" and that his starving dittoheads are lapping this BS up.

[rocktivity]

17. Before I clicked on this thread, I thought

"Either Rush is in even worse shape than we thought, or this is from The Onion!"

[candy331]

18. Is the

man really on the radio brocasting? I can't believe it but of course this country has gone mad so what's next?

[izzie]

20. Well yar Clinton has to be the cause for Rush doing this.

Cliton has made Bennett play the slots, Dr Joy for letting her mother stave to death, and for all problems of the '90s.I understand that as I have not got over the Reagon years yet.

[RapidCreek]

21. Ah...

So what's Rush telling us here? He liked to get his cyst ridden ass hyped on Hillbilly Heroine while dreaming of Clinton's Penis?

Whether he said it or not.....apperently such is the case.

"Clinton's Penis made me do it, friends...."

RC

[leftofthedial]

24. as often is the case with the onion, this is plausible enough

to inspire a neck-wrenching double take.

The dittoheads would swallow it too! That's what's amazing. The few of them I know are in deep "pity Rush, blame the liberals" mode.

[Pastiche423]

27. Plausible?

We've been living in Onionland for almost three years. In the beginning of those three years, I did find myself checking to see if the articles I read were from the Onion.

It's gotten difficult to distinguish between reality and Onionland. They are so much the same now.

[agincourt]

25. Don't be suprised,

if you hear many conservatives saying the same thing only with different language. There's lots of pea brains out there who would actually blame blow shit faces addiction on the Clinton administration.

[Booberdawg]

26. Whew! I was seeing red till I realized it was the Onion. LOL!

[The Magistrate]

28. The Onion Does Some Of The Best Journalism Available Today

[rasputin1952]

30. I find it interesting that many of The Onion's articles...

have a truth at the center.

One of my favorites was in "Holy Fuckin' Shit", an interview with the hijackers of 9-11, right after they found themselves in hell. I laughed so hard, I damn near needed surgery to repair my sides. I still chuckle when I think of that little gem.

:kick:

[ProfessorGAC]

31. Is This For Real?

He blamed his personal problem on the gov't? What a two faced buffoon.
The Professor

[GOPisEvil]

32. It's the Onion...

...so it's the truth, but masked in parody. :-)

[ProfessorGAC]

35. Sorry. I Didn't Notice "Onion"

Had i been paying attention, i wouldn't have needed to ask the question. I know The Onion is satire and parody, but i jumped too soon.

Thanks for clarifying this.

The Professor

BTW: Rush is still a buffoon.

[Loonman]

33. Hee hee

Unfortunately such craven behaviour from that fatassed jerk would not shock me one bit.
