Rush and Chong: Trippin' in Court Part II

Film writer David Ehrenstein muses on Rush Limbaugh's drug addiction. Actually, he skewers the big blowhard. It's a good read. I also note that Ehrenstein makes the same comparison to Tommy Chong's incarceration for selling bongs over the internet that I, myself, made last Friday:

Needless to say the chance that Rusty may face jail time for his legal drug purchases may well be remote. Tommy Chong is looking at nine months for merely selling drug "paraphernalia" -- "bongs" for pot-smoking.

But he's just half-of a once-famous comic duo, now a semi-regular on That 70's Show, where he plays a stoned-out relic of a hippie.

Clearly he doesn't have powerful Republican friends in high places like Rusty.

And clearly he can't afford the sort of PR advice that can parlay a MASSIVE APPETITE FOR CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES into an "addiction to painkillers."
