OLD NEWS....circa 2003

The Daily News reported that Limbaugh's former housekeeper claims to have supplied him with massive quantities of OxyContin, Lorcet and hydrocodone between 1998 and 2002.

Lorcet -- which, like Vicodin, is a mixture of hydrocodone and acetaminophen -- has been linked to sudden and profound hearing loss in patients who misuse or abuse the drug. First in 1999 and then more forcefully in the summer of 2001, physicians at the House Ear Clinic in Los Angeles warned doctors and consumers of a "possible correlation between permanent hearing loss" and hydrocodone-acetaminophen combinations such as Lorcet and Vicodin. The Los Angeles Times reported in September 2001 that doctors at House and other Southern California medical facilities had identified 48 patients who suffered hearing loss after taking exceptionally high doses of the drugs.

Coincidentally -- or not -- Limbaugh turned to the House Ear Institute after he began experiencing what doctors there called "rapidly progressive hearing loss" in May 2001.

OLD NEWS....circa 2003

So Salon.Com citing the Daily News - my what newsworthy, credible and completely unbiased organizations you cite from. Again, the article says that it MAY have caused, COULD have caused, not DID cause. Hell, my mother told me that jerking off would cause me to go blind, therefore should I then assume that all blind people wanked themselves into that condition? Well, for people who hate Rush, it's quite obvious he pill popped his way to hearing loss. For them it's sweet victory that the right wing figurehead is addicted to pain killers and paid the price for his lavish lifestyle and lies. For those of us who neither hate nor love Rush, the medical explanation makes far more sense.

I'm not sure I can debate with you Nynco. No matter what, you turn to left wing blogs as sources for your "news", "facts", "information" and general outlook on the utopian America. You must debate with some really blind sheeple (probably wanked themselves blind) who actually believe these things and don't do any independent research rather than just take your word for it - maybe that is why you throw out these "undisputed facts" of yours.

nynco seems to specialize in hyperbole.

Yes, indeed. Everything is FACTUAL from him too. How many times have I heard that EVERYONE agrees or ACTUAL FACTS AND FIGURES only to find out it's a quote from a blog. Please.

I find it quite amazing how short these types of threads are when you know how to properly employ the Ignore button.

It's like a train wreck, really. He is on my ignore list but I keep showing his threads anyway to see what weird stuff he comes up with. I need better self control apparently!

Lord, man POSSIBLE, POSSIBLE, MAYBE, COULD HAVE. All I'm trying to say is that you say IT HAPPENED, and even the sources you cite all say IT COULD HAPPEN and not that it DID HAPPEN.

It is POSSIBLE that that a stray bullet fell from space and killed a guy in his living room, but MORE LIKELY that his wife, with the smoking gun in her hand, with ballistics that matched, did it.

Yikes!

Fine Ranger....... who cares if it can be proven if he lost his hearing from it. This is like arguing over a splinter instead of the gunshot.

Rush is a drug abuser who at the same time tells his audience that drug abusers should be in jail.

He's a hypocrite piece of garbage.

I'm no rush apologist. He guy has some problems that turns me off to him. But if he's a drug abuser so is Obama, who himself admits to smoking pot. People do stupid shit and people get addicted to stuff. It doesn't necessarily make them evil or a criminal. I see it in the pharmacy daily. I know pharmacists who have become so addicted they steal it and lose their 120k a year job. It's sad. Many people have abused drugs. We should commend the ones that stop and get help.

As far as teachers go, the problem the right has with them is that they are a bunch of spoiled brats. At the higher level they are partisan idiots that dictate our kids learn stupid and useless material, often from a particular slant. There are good teachers out there just like there are good people of Medicaid, but many have becomE fat and lazy from being spoiled rotten. Still more go into teaching for he summers off and in some cities the gross over payment. My wife is a teacher as are two of my aunts, my mother in law, my brother in law and my father in law is a professor at a state university. I don't think a single one would disagree that our public school system is shit and part of the problem is the teachers themselves. It's like every other government organization. It got too powerful, too spoiled and too protected. It produced what one would expect, lazy and spoiled teachers. There are good hard working ones out there but the unions and bums make it impossible for them to do their job. I see that daily with my wife

Halftime Joke Time.

What the opposite of Christopher Reeves?





Christopher Walken!



On your Mark.........get set........... Argue!
