I don't care much about his politics but I find it truly amazing that Rush Limbaugh is coming back to his show after 5 weeks of rehab. Meanwhile, there are people serving time for crimes in line with the allegations facing him [hell, Tommy Chong is serving a year for selling bongs!!!!]

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Rush Limbaugh will return to his radio talk show Monday after completing a five-week treatment program for his addiction to painkillers, his brother said Wednesday.

David Limbaugh made the announcement to Internet personality Matt Drudge, who was sitting in Wednesday for the conservative commentator.

Limbaugh left the air Oct. 10 after acknowledging that he had been abusing prescription painkillers.

Limbaugh plans to resume his regular schedule, hosting his three-hour show on weekdays for his audience of 20 million, his brother said.

"He's obviously chomping at the bit to get back to doing what he does best," David Limbaugh said.

Rush Limbaugh said last month that he was checking himself into a treatment center to "once and for all break the hold this highly addictive medication has on me."

His brother said the host successfully completed the first phase of his treatment. He did not say what the next step is.
