Assboil Update

My very good friend Rik Hertzberg makes the following point:

Actually, under federal law there is no distinction between Oxycontin, Limbaugh�s reported pill of choice, and drugs like cocaine, methadone, and opiates. All are Schedule II drugs, which have medical uses but a high potential for abuse, and simple possession of any of them is punishable by up to a year�s imprisonment. Though Limbaugh may well have been introduced to painkillers via a doctor�s prescription, the suggestion that he became addicted to them under a doctor�s care is almost certainly false. So is the suggestion that he wasn�t taking them �recreationally��i.e., to get high. The prescribed dose of Oxycontin, one tablet every twelve hours, is usually sufficient to relieve severe pain. The Enquirer has Limbaugh purchasing nearly twelve thousand during a four-month period in 2001�enough to soothe his back troubles for sixteen years.

This is an important point (to the extent Assboil is important at all). Even if Flush was getting a prescription, he was abusing drugs to the extent he exceeded his doctor's instructions. Of course, it is doubtful that Flush would admit doing that, and just as doubtful his doctors would admit misprescribing medication in a way which would allow Limpballs to become an addict. Of course, if Rush originally became addicted due to his doctor's negligence, he have a hell of a malpractice suit. I don't expect to see one.

Bonus Fun: Find the most pathetic letter of deluded support from the dildoheads, at Limpballs' official site.
