Limbaugh has a deferred sentence not a “pee” deal. I would also be willing to bet that he will have a very hard time jumping through the hoops for those darn “liberal” drug counselors. </p> <p>I have worked with many and they know who is and isn’t working their program. It is easy to see that he is not “in recovery”. He will get caught eventually. Thats the nice thing about addiction…so different than with Rove…addicts only get worse unless they get recovery. With Rove… it’s more of a personality disorder and plain sociopath. Sociopaths get away with lots of stuff. Addicts always screw up eventually, it’s the nature of the disease. Just watch and wait.</p> I am a therapist. Limbaugh has a deferred sentence not a “pee” deal.

I think that Putin can play RealPolitik much better that Bush If the US keep playing its colored revolution game in south Asia, he might “lose” a tactical nuke that an Islamic extremeist just might “find”.

Is his “treating” (for addiciton) doctor the same one who is his prescribing doctor. If so, his pee tests are virtually worthless as far a detecting non-prescribed use (of opiates).</p> My question remainss, does Rush’s “treatment” by his doctor of 2 1/2 years allow for the continued provision of prescribed opiates, or does his supervision stipulate he is to be substance free?

Dang Y chromosome that shows up — or not — if there is some blood in the urine), etc., etc. And if the anomolies continue more than once, most jurisdictions haul your ass immediately to the local clinic for a blood draw. Why pay the extra money unless you need to, since most local law enforcement budgets are already stretched eight ways to Sunday. But in my experience, the cheaters pretty much always get caught — sometimes it just takes an extra month.</p> BC — actually, the tests pretty reliably show a pattern of anomolies — as in elevated creatine levels with no explanation, diluted samples, occasionally you get female urine from a male probationer (oops!
