I don't see anyone "delighting" in Rush's case. I see them calling it what it is. A massive hypocrite who used to rail on drug addicts, now having to admit (for the second time) that he, himself, is one. His words, scattered all over the internet like bread crumbs, are an indictment of his very own self.
If anything is delightful, it is that.
Sorta like Bob Barr leading the rally to impeach Clinton for infidelity, only to resign when his own infidelity was discovered. Same exact thing with House Speaker Livingston. Does that make them human? Very much so. Should we delight in it? Not at all. Are they hypocrites? You bet your sweet arse.
And there's nothing wrong with pointing it out, whenever, and wherever it happens.
This man's sole source of income, his
career, is to make you upset, to hate people, and hate things. To lie, and to bend logic to its absolute breaking point, so that you... the passive listener, are moved. One of his targets was drugs and addiction. And he's been as heavy handed as he is about everything else.
Ultimately, yes.... this latest Rush brouhaha does show that he is human.
.... and an ass.
