A Drug Prohibition Failure
For a slightly different take on the Limbaugh mess read Postrel and Sollum.
Their key point being that Limbaugh's current public problem is caused by the drug war, an artifact of prohibition, and not specifically his pill popping.
If he and a long series of government administrations at many levels had eliminated rather then maintained the drug prohibition Rush could still be out there supporting the bushies and their ilk.
And the taxpayers would not have to be supporting the largest prison industry in the world.
