Should Rush Limbaugh ever make it to steps 4 through 10 of NA, here's some comments from the past 12 months he might want to reconsider:

"All [Maureen Dowd] has now is bourbon for mouthwash, and it's showing on her columns." -- October 21, 2002

"To Ted Kennedy, whose liver is said to be shaped like a Chivas Regal bottle, what Bush said and what's best for America and the Iraqis doesn't matter." -- September 23, 2003

"In the audio link below, I go into detail about these non-thinking talking points that 'you can't tell people what to do with their bodies' and 'you can't legislate morality.' First of all, we tell people what they can do to their bodies all the time - no cocaine, no prostitution, no throwing yourself off a building. Second, laws are nothing but defining morality!" -- June 27, 2003

"In a recent speech to the American Bar Association, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy complained about mandatory-minimum sentences. He claimed that sentences are too long and punishments are too severe.... [Paras.] Someone needs to remind Justice Kennedy that it's the legislative branch, not the Supreme Court, which makes law. Mandatory minimums are totally constitutional. And these tough sentencing laws were instituted for a reason. The American people, including liberals, demanded them. Don't you remember the crack cocaine epidemic? Crack babies and out-of-control murder rates? Liberal judges giving the bad guys slaps on the wrist? Finally we got tough, and the crime rate has been falling ever since, so what's wrong?" -- August 18, 2003
