I hope Rush ends up having a Richard Pryor like epiphany in rehab
NO, I don't want him to catch on fire.

I was thinking about this from Pryor:

"I was sitting in the hotel lobby, right? And a voice says, "What do you see? Look around." And I looked around, and I saw people of all colors and shapes. And the voice said, "Do you see any niggers?" I said no. "You know why? ’Cause there aren’t any." ’Cause I’d been there three weeks, and I hadn’t said it. And it started making me cry, man…"

Wouldn't it be great if Rush had a similar experience while in rehab? Replace hotel lobby with rehab and nigger with feminazi or any of the other words he uses to describe people with whom he disagrees politically. It may help bring back a bit of civility in our political dialog, at least for a time, and maybe start a real serious look at how we handle drugs and those who take them.

A lot of wishful thinking on my part, I know.

1. I'd be happy to see him
publicly make amends with all he people he dissed over the airwaves with the same problem over the years. Won't that be a part of his 12 steps?

His whole schtick went Jesus wild ass Liberal!!! Think of the publicity. His redemption than back to the same old hell and brimstone Corperation Conservativism will not get new listeners. It would be a great career move.

3. "After all, a liberal is just a conservative after rehab".
Quote re Rush from the host of NPR's "Prairie Home Companion". Got a huge laugh from the Minnasotan audience.

4. Haaaaaaaaa!
And I was still laughing at SNL's skit of Matthews telling Coulter, "I can smell your soul rotting from here."
