Rush's Medicine

|

The Drug Policy Alliance has unveiled an online poll on Rush Limbaugh's fate with a snazzy little animated introduction that not-very-subtly pushes you to have mercy on the self-identified narcotic addict. "Do you think he deserves a taste of his own medicine?" it asks. "Or is it wrong, always, to punish people just for what they put into their bodies?"

He may be a hypocritical jerk, the intro says, but "that doesn't make him a criminal." True, but voting to "Put Rush Behind Bars" won't really put him there, and it's a lot more emotionally satisfying than voting to "Leave Him Alone."
