1. I read that it was still ongoing..
and that now he is very upset because they have subpoenaed his now, ex-wife as a witness in the case. The head line was something like his empire is crumbling. I hope that dirty bastard gets the book thrown at him.

Nothing, nothing makes me do the happy dance more than seeing a hypocrite brought to justice, especially a Repug.

5. He Was Melting Down with Hatred, Making Terroristic Threats
yesterday, literally. He was temper-tantruming like a 2 yr old over the criticism of the not-so-swift boaters, yelling that we Libs have not seen anything yet, that WE are so hateful that wingnuts are perfectly entitled to lash out with whatever, that WE set the rules of the game and we're going to get it now.

And the other day he had another one of his mucous fits on the air, coughing and sniffing. he had to cut the mic to "blow his nose".

This might seem to signal that things are not hunky dorry in RushWorld. Waiting for his climax is about as enticing as waiting for the PLAME indictments.

6. A full-scale Mount St. Helens explosion/melt down by Limbaugh on the air..
is pretty much my dream in life. :)

It could happen. He's got to be hurting without his drugs, both physically
and emotionally. Plus Bushworld is coming apart on him, due mostly to their
own stupidity and corruption, and there's only so much you can do with that
spin-wise.

9. Major drug re-bust? That version excites as well! Talk about a blow..
to what remains of his "credibility".

If he is doing any sort of genuine recovery work, he has got to be confronting
the emotional roots of his 'politics'. Since that would tank his career, I doubt
he is going there. Which means he's still an addict wether or not he is doing
his drug of choice.

8. I heard that yesterday
I was driving for hours through rural Texas and Limpballs was about the only thing I could find (other than country or gospel). He was absolutely livid yesterday that people would DARE to question the swift boat liars.

12. Gospel can be pretty good.
You don't have to believe the words to like the music. I especially like the stacked harmonies on some of those old ones. Especially anything that leans toward bluegrass. The new stuff is mostly crap, however.

10. You are assuming he is off drugs?
I remember the news reports on TV drawing off of doctor's testimony that it literally takes months to successfully get off "Hillbilly Heroine."

What was it, like three weeks and he declared that he was drug-free. What bull... Only he knows what personal hell he is actually participating in.

11. I assume he won't be indicted. This should have been resolved months ago.
A drug case like this, it seems to me, would have been resolved with an indictment already. It's been how long now? 6 to 8 months since the news broke?

13. More like a year
putting a rich white hate filled biohazard away isn't easy. I don't think he's clean, he's probablly got a stash somewhere, otherwise the idiot would have fallen to pieces long ago.
