A quick thought:

We eagerly await the full story about Rush Limbaugh and his alleged pill-popping. But at this early stage we feel compelled to note that when we first saw the slimmed-down Rush we were astonished. (That was, what, five years ago?) At the time there was something unnatural about him. Hard to quantify, but he did not look like a former fat guy who hit the treadmill and ate only small portions. We were in the same state of mind that we had a decade ago while reading Stephen Glass' made up stories in the New Republic. Something isn't quite right, but you aren't quite sure what. Only later when the truth gets out does it all make sense.
