But wait! There's more!!
Damn. If things keep up like this, the GOP will be fresh out of assholes by Saturday.
Talk-radio titan Rush Limbaugh is being investigated for allegedly buying thousands of addictive painkillers from a black-market drug ring.The moralizing motormouth was turned in by his former housekeeper - who says she was Limbaugh's pill supplier for four years.
Wilma Cline, 42, says Limbaugh was hooked on the potent prescription drugs OxyContin, Lorcet and hydrocodone - and went through detox twice.
"There were times when I worried," Cline told the National Enquirer, which broke the story in an edition being published today. "All these pills are enough to kill an elephant - never mind a man."
The Daily News independently confirmed that Limbaugh is under investigation.

Cline told the Enquirer she went to prosecutors with information about Limbaugh and others after four years of drug deals that included clandestine handoffs in a Denny's parking lot.
She said she wore a wire during her last two deliveries to the conservative commentator and gave the tapes to authorities.
She also gave the Enquirer a ledger documenting how many pills she claimed to have bought for him - 4,350 in one 47-day period - and E-mails she claimed Limbaugh sent her.
In one missive, Limbaugh pushed Cline to get more "little blues" - code for OxyContin, the powerful narcotic nicknamed hillbilly heroin, she said.
"You know how this stuff works ... the more you get used to, the more it takes," the May 2002 E-mail reads.
These are your heroes, conservatives. Serial gropers and pill-popping moralizers. Be fucking proud.

Serial gropers? I thought Clinton was a liberal.

This may not be the God-send we've all prayed for.
I can see a certain sympathy factor here: man struggles against chronic pain, man is forced to purchase painkillers on black market, man goes into detox. With the right spin this could work to Rush's benefit: Rush Limbaugh, Rightwing Hatchetman, stoically endures Pain and Shame. There won't be a dry eye in the house.

Hey, Mario - read the story about Schwarzenegger. Serial groper.
Of course, if you're a conservative, you won't find anything wrong with it, Im sure.

you just made my day. is it too much to hope for a lethal overdose? or maybe one of those mandatory prison sentences those conservatives love to give people for drug crimes, after all, fuck em, theyre mostly poor... anyway, im sure he will get off with a slap on the wrist, whereas if i were to get caught with a joint i could go to prison. im so fucking sick of this country. i think you would have to be on some seriouse painkillers to be a republican, it must be hard to be that hatefull all the time, its got to eat you away from the inside, im still hoping for an overdose

Of course I find something wrong with it. I hate people like that. But it needs to be pointed out that hypocrisy cuts both ways. Bill Clinton and Arnold have treated women the same. If one gave Clinton a pass, one is obligated to do the same for Arnold. I, of course, despise the actions of both.

Mario,
You assume, of course, that I gave Clinton a pass.

of course clintons main scandal was based on him recieving a consentual blow job from a woman of legal age (although i do realize there were some other allegations of sexual harassment)
i think the more interesting scandal is arnolds admiration of hitler, of course most republicans must admire hitler, because they mimic his political stratagies so closely.

I do assume that you gave Clinton a pass. If I'm wrong, I apologize. Regardless of whether you did or not, however, far too many people were willing to. NOW comes to mind.

Oh yes, it's always about Clinton's dick, isn't it? I thought conservatives were all about PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY? As in, own up to your own mistakes and NOT BLAME OTHERS or DIVERT ATTENTION BY BRINGING UP OTHER SHIT? Give it up, conservatards...

No, Yasmin, this time it's about Arnold's hands. Same principle applies, though.
