Banzai!
It was a sleepy November morning when suddenly from out of the south:
A sneak-attack caller yesterday launched Rush Limbaugh into a defense against charges he was a hypocrite for demanding tough sentences for drug users while he himself was taking black-market pain killers.
"It's not hypocritical because my behavior doesn't determine the value of right and wrong - nobody's does," Limbaugh told listeners.
The caller "Mike from Miami" had made an innocent comment about a congressional vote and then suddenly blurted, "How do you equate hypocrisy and addiction, pillhead?"
Limbaugh, who seemed slightly rattled, responded to "Mike's" original comment, delivered a warning to crank callers that "we are prepared here," and moved on - returning to discuss the hypocrisy issue later in the show.
"If I were to admit I'm a hypocrite, then I'm going to be disqualified from being able to say what I think is right and wrong.
"I'm not going to let anybody take that away from me," he said.
"Whatever I did I did, but it doesn't change what right and wrong are."
Which, of course, didn't answer the question. Then Rush used an unfortunate analogy:
"The liberals do the same thing with defense," he said. "They try to say that people who didn't serve in the military can't talk about defense. People who wish to be exempt from any moral judgment [are] taking the occasion of my story to try to weaken the whole concept of right and wrong by taking shots at me," Limbaugh said
...which brings up that whole pilonidal cyst thing all over again.
The drugs...they keep talkin'.....
