Limbaugh, Rush
 Treated somewhere in
Arizona
(Rush Hudson Limbaugh III, 1951.01.12-
) Ultraconservative radio talk host.
On his show, Friday, October 11, 2003, Rush announced that he
was leaving the microphone for 30 days to seek immediate treatment for his
addiction to prescription pain drugs. According to N.Y. Post
sources, the place that the highest paid talk show host in radio history
would be receiving treatment was the pricy Sierra Tucson addiction
treatment facility.
 When Rush returned to his
show Monday, November 17, 2003, he was his typical modest self.
"I know the sky probably seems brighter to you no matter where you
are," he said. "The air is cleaner, the water is purer, and it's
not because of the environmentalist wackos. It's because I'm back,
right?"
He had a lot to say about his treatment, and a bit to say
about its location. "Last Wednesday afternoon I was discharged
from the treatment center which, by the way, was not in Tucson."
He continued, "We succeeded in fooling everybody on that. It was in
Arizona but it wasn't in Tucson, and it was an intense four weeks."
Sierra Tucson is not in Tucson. It is
immediately north of Tucson, in the the foothills of the Santa Catalina
Mountains. The N.Y. Post might have been correct if Rush was
playing with words. Or, Rush might have chosen The Meadows in
Wickenburg where Eric Ben�t and
Ellie Macpherson have been
treated, or a number of other facilities.
