LIMBAUGH DESERVES TOUGH TERMS HE URGED

In regard to Rush Limbaugh's recent entanglement in [allegedly] illegal 
drug activity, his disciples must be appropriately confused.

His daily tirades have often expressed his disgust with "drug addicts" and 
their erosion of America, usually associating them with those below the 
poverty line. Furthermore, he insists on zero tolerance for crime as 
opposed to "bleeding-heart liberal" policies of rehabilitation, etc.

Would it not be hypocritical of him now to use his political contacts to 
obtain a lighter sentence for his offense?

[If he has purchased] drugs illegally, he has contributed to what he 
considers a major problem in America. Following Limbaugh's own doctrine, he 
[would] deserve the maximum punishment and none of the wimpy liberal 
lenience he so despises.
