Limbaugh's dysfunction
Palm Beach Post Editorial

The criminal justice system continues to treat Rush Limbaugh with the
fairness that he claims the system denies him.
Last week, the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office correctly
concluded that Mr. Limbaugh broke no law by having 29 Viagra pills that
were for him but had been prescribed in someone else's name. That
decision spares the talk-show host any problems related to his earlier
deal with the state attorney's office on a doctor-shopping charge for
prescription pain relievers. In both cases, prosecutors stuck to the law
and acted professionally.
Mr. Limbaugh, though, remains a serial offender when it comes to
hypocrisy. On his show, he will embellish or invent any presumed weakness
that might embarrass someone he dislikes. But he didn't want it on the
record that he needs an erectile-dysfunction drug. Similarly, when he
entered treatment for drug addiction in October 2003, he told his
audience that he had tried to "always be honest with you and open about
my life." Yet, he had gone through rehab twice before that without being
"open about my life." Finally, the Palm Beach resident filed his December
2004 divorce in Key West, 220 miles from the Palm Beach County
Courthouse, because it was "more convenient" and tried to keep the case
sealed.
On Wednesday, the self-absorbed Mr. Limbaugh was blaming the federal
agents for confiscating the Viagra as part of some vast left-wing
conspiracy tied to the 2006 and 2008 elections. The self-proclaimed
"truth detector" would rather tell a good story than "be honest."

"All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a
philosopher." - Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)
Don't ask about caste or riches but instead ask about conduct. Look
at the flames of a fire. Where do they come from? From a piece of
wood"and it doesn't matter what wood. In the same way, a wise
person can come from wood of any sort. It is through firmness and
restraint and a sense of truth that one becomes noble, not through
caste. -Sutta Nipata
