Start *what?*

Seriously, I've been following Rush's problems with great interest.
I'm not snickering, really.  In fact, you'll be surprised to hear that
there is a small, almost microscopic place in my heart that causes me
to feel sorry for him.  Just a little.

First, losing your dream job after a month cannot be fun.  

Second, if you view the video clip, what he said didn't sound *that*
bad at first in real time.  (That's why none of the on-air talent
reacted at the time, I suspect.)  But when he saw the transcript and
refused to recant or clarify, well . . . there's no excuse for that.

The clip is here:

Third, losing one's hearing as an adult (or any time, really) cannot
be an easy thing to cope with.

Fourth, he must be a very sad and lonely man to be abusing powerful
painkillers like that (*if* he did).  Is it true that abusing Oxytocin
causes deafness?

Boy.  Between AllHands!Arnold and Rush, there's a lot of scandal to
keep track of these days!
