Jeff Jarvis has the inside dope on rushing Rush:
What joy: Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat hypocrite, too. The National Enquirer broke the story: Rush’s ex-cleaning lady said she was his contact to a black-market drug ring from which Rush allegedly bought thousands — thousands — of prescription painkillers: OxyContin, Lorcet, and hydrocodone.
My prediction: teary apologies, a trip to Betty Ford, and a slow fade-out to oblivion.
You’re right about the first two, wrong on the third. Rush will be around forever, just like Paul Harvey. (This isn’t an argument, just a prediction.)
Called that one from the first day out of the blocks.

I guess we’ll have to see how loyal Rush’s audience is once he graduates from Betty Ford, but I don’t see those folks as being especially forgiving.
Perhaps the weirdest part of this saga is the emergence of the National Enquirer as an actual investigative organ.
