| Rush Limbaugh gets 30 days in rehab for buying illegal prescription drugs, while Tommy Chong gets nine months in prison for selling bongs and pipes (no drugs) on the internet. Enough said. |
| Tommy Chong was sentenced in Pittsburgh Thursday. September 11, 2003 (go figure) to nine months in federal prison and fined $20,000 for selling bongs and other drug paraphernalia over the Internet. Chong was part of the Cheech and Chong comedy team. Limbaugh just finished his first weekend in a drug rehabilitation clinic, and he will spend the next 27 days … In the past, Limbaugh has shown no mercy for celebrities who are addicted to drugs, and has in fact used his radio show as a platform to lambaste them. "It's a crime because everybody knows it's no good," Limbaugh said in one of his past radio shows. "It's destructive, it's demoralizing and the people who are caught doing this stuff ought to be sent away. They ought to be punished."
