Based on the dates this is alleged to have happened, even if this is accurate, the incidents occurred during a time that Limbaugh was said to be suffering through what was apparently an excruciatingly painful medical condition that caused him to lose his hearing and ultimately required surgery. Hardly a time when he was in his "right" (no pun intended) mind.

Taking joy in, or mocking, someone with such a painful condition is hardly liberal "tolerance" or "compassion"
I'm in complete agreement, G-man.

I find it malicious to post every last misfortune of conservatives, and to bask in that misfortune.

Rush Limbaugh has said that he initially became addicted to painkillers when he had back surgery that didn't go well. (Back surgery rarely heals correctly, and often creates more pain than the initial condition. Many back surgeons would not subject themselves or their own family to corrective back surgery. A word to the wise. )

Rush says he's getting treatment, and that's good enough for me. He's also taken full responsibility for his own actions.

Liberals in the media are loving that he's finally vulnerable on a personal issue, and the vindictiveness with which it's being covered is palpable.

On the ESPN comments Rush made, about the media desperately wanting a black quarterback to succeed, I don't agree with his comments, and find them a bit anachronistic.
Black athletes have been topping the charts for 10 years at least, and are all over the airwaves endorsing products for tens of millions of dollars, many earning huge fortunes comparable to Rush's. I think he really stepped in it when he made that comment.

But I think coverage of his unfortunate pain-killer addiction is very overblown. Let's face it, it's raw meat for the piranha in the liberal media, so let them just have their feeding frenzy.
