Rush Limbaugh returned to the airways on Monday. He has undergone five weeks of drug therapy and appears to be ready to start where he left off.

I sincerely hope that Rush has reformed and rid himself of his drug addiction. I have not been following the story close enough to tell whether or not any criminal charges or pending, but if they are I hope Rush faces them with the same attitude he faced his addiction with. He knows he has done wrong, he has admitted it and accepted responsibility. What else can we ask him to do besides continue to co-operate with law enforcement until they finish their investigation?

Personally, I don't think this event in Rush's life should be held against his radio show or his opinions. Yes, he had a drug problem. No, that doesn't make him wrong about economic policy. It will be easy now for his opponents to dismiss him as a "drug addict," but such barbs will be cheap shots. I challenge anyone making that assertation to argue against Rush issue by issue, based on facts.

I welcome Rush back and hope that he can move on with his life and find happiness. I, for one, am glad to have him back.
