First off, I’m not a big fan of Rush Limbaugh. I’ve got nothing against the man, but I wouldn’t categorize myself as someone who necessarily aligns himself politically with him either. I’m just not that enamoured with the guy.
That being said, I still cannot ignore the massive hypocrisy that the media is displaying right now with regards to the Kennedy/Limbaugh drug-use issue. Old Rush was villified in the press for his use of prescription pain killers—the subject of a veritable media orgasm in fact. But Kennedy on the other hand… well, that’s just different.
They are treating Kennedy with kid gloves. Focusing on his “disease,” and his quest for treatment. As John Stossel would say—”Give me a break!” The guy ought to get trashed as bad as Limbaugh, if not more. But they won’t, because the guy is a Democrat and a Kennedy.
Hypocrisy. Gotta love it.

I, for one, am not surprised. Disgusted, but not surprised.
