The National Enquirer is the country's highest selling newspaper. Do you consider that part of the media?
They did break the John Edwards affair.

Calling Rush Limbaugh "the media" is generous at best.
Rush isn't media, Rush is entertainer and that's it!
Could anyone imagine what the Right would say if Obama told Ellen DeGeneres he was going to use the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling before he told anyone else!
I hate to burst your pretentious little bubble (LIE) but entertainment and media are interchangeable terms.
"Pretentious", you say? Some people take themselves way too seriously.
You have a problem with him presenting his plan to the media and through the media the people?
We complain about transperancy. How politicians are doing things behind closed doors without sharing anything with the people. Boehner is transperant and now that's bad because he had the audacity to talk about his plan to the American people on the Rush Limbaugh show?
What is wrong with you people?

Seems like a smart move to me. Rush has a huge audience and is respected by many fiscal conservatives, myself included.

Is he still hooked on Oxycontin?

Is that somehow relevant to his audience size or the respect he has from fiscal conservatives? Or are you simply unable to actually accept the fact that Rush is respected and has a large audience that you need to attack the man for no reason?

Not that I know of. Big deal, he's human and humans make mistakes. He admitted his addiction, got help for it, overcame it, just like millions of other Americans.
You do know that Obama did cocaine and other 'mind altering drugs'.Is he still hooked on Oxycontin?

I doubt he's that respected although it is important to remember that respect is hard to measure.
Simply pointing out the pitfalls of "trusting" and "respecting" a known drug addict who, as I recall, violated the law by prescription shopping. I set my standards for respect a little higher than you do I guess but, hey it takes all types right.
I could be wrong about that--his criminal record; he doesn't interest me that much so I haven't kept up with it. Was he prosecuted?
I do know that he wasn't shown the remarks ahead of time to gauge public reaction, he was shown them to give his blessing. You sound silly for trying to paint it that way.

Boehner briefed Limbaugh on debt plan - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) outlined the GOP's debt-ceiling plan to conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh on Monday before showing it to his conference.
On Monday during his radio program, Limbaugh talked about the call he received from Boehner. Limbaugh's support of the plan would be advantageous to Republicans because it might help rally the conservative base.
In a nod to the conservative anger over the fall-back proposal McConnell had put forward earlier in the month, Limbaugh said: "I'm told that Senator McConnell has been in a better position than he has been lately ... he's on the same page with Boehner now."
This isn't the first time Boehner has called Limbaugh to voice his position on the debt talks.
Boehner also phoned in to Limbaugh's show last Friday to give him the inside scoop following reports that Republican leaders and the White House were close to finalizing a deal.
There is plenty of free help for alcoholics and drug addicts in this country. We give them everything they need to overcome their addictions, except for the one thing that nobody can give them - self discipline.Is he still hooked on Oxycontin?
Not that I know of. Big deal, he's human and humans make mistakes. He admitted his addiction, got help for it, overcame it, just like millions of other Americans.
Well, good for him. So if John Doe you're living in the ghetto and admit you need help but cant afford it, what do you suggest John Doe does? Apparently you don't give a flying fuck about him.

He was in some pretty extreme pain. He sought relief, and someone who makes, what a hundred mil a year, might set aside an extreme amount, if he thought it would become more difficult to lay hands on, and since it is habituating.Is he still hooked on Oxycontin?

I have to second this. I work with those who deal with alcohol and drug addiction almost constantly. They have plenty of resources to get the help they need to overcome.

The same thing we are saying now. The 14th Amendment gives no authorization to him to do that.
