Anyone have some great Rush Limbaugh drug addict quotes?
Anyone know a site that lists them? There have to have been some great quotes from the past that will definitely come back to haunt him now. Hypocrisy is fun! :)

1. there's a couple but they aren't contemporary
Like Will Bennett his hypocrisy was a career of exposing other people's moral frailties, not overt schizophrenia like Jim and Tammy. He was conscious enough of his failings not to harp on the subject in recent years, just as Bennett didn't single out gambling per se. But there's definitely a self-loathing angle to proselytization, like J Edgar Hoover's fascination with documenting people's sex lives.

2. A few from Buzzflash
"We're going to let you destroy your life. We're going to make it easy and then all of us who accept the responsibilities of life and don't destroy our lives on drugs, we'll pay for whatever messes you get into."
-- Rush Limbaugh show, Dec. 9, 1993

"I'm appalled at people who simply want to look at all this abhorrent behavior and say people are going to do drugs anyway let's legalize it. It's a dumb idea. It's a rotten idea and those who are for it are purely 100 percent selfish."
-- Rush Limbaugh show, Dec 9, 1993

"If (Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders) wants to legalize drugs, send the people who want to do drugs to London and Zurich, and let's be rid of them.
-- Rush Limbaugh show, Dec 9, 1993

"There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.

"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."
-- Rush Limbaugh show, Oct. 5, 1995

4. Rush on Jerry Garcia's Death
Edited on Sat Oct-11-03 03:08 AM by VolcanoJen
"When you strip it all away, Jerry Garcia destroyed his life on drugs, and yet, he's being honored, like some god-like figure. Our priorities are out-of-whack, folks."

As read by Keith Olbermann, 10-10-03.

I'm sure many, many, MANY more of his drug-use comments will surface over the next several days... }( Olbermann referred to the forthcoming Rush-Talks-Drugs comments as "exhaustive and encyclopedic."
