As another sure sign the apocalypse is upon us, a hypocritical hate monger was rewarded this week with 400 million dollars to continue spewing his venom across the air waves of America. The erosion of American culture continues as Rush Limbaugh was given a new contract which will see him reportedly earn 38 million dollars per year to lie with impunity and make a mockery of common decency.

This is not even a matter of politics; it is a matter of the continuing degradation of society today. The hypocrisy should be well known and not lost on folks in this country. Rush Limbaugh often railed against the drug use running rampant in this country. One such quote from the blowhard was:
"Too many whites are getting away with drug use...Too many whites are getting away with drug sales...The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them, and send them up the river, too."
Of course it was Limbaugh himself who was guilty of prescription fraud in his own battle against drug abuse. He was addicted to the painkiller OxyContin and was guilty of doctor shopping to try and continue his addiction and usage, which he so heartily decried for years. This is not to criticize Limbaugh for having a battle with addiction. The problem of course is the reeking hypocrisy with which he carries on.
