Having had family members addicted to prescription painkillers, I have some compassion for him.
He, or at least his public persona, however, had none.
It is his hypocrisy that I have no respect for.
If he'd come out and acknowledged just how hard it can be and recanted at least some of the statements he'd made, he'd be a bigger man in my eyes (and I used to listen to him during my commute every day back in the 1990s).
*To my knowledge*, he's never done that.
I haven't listened to him in a long time, largely because it seemed to me that he was getting increasingly nasty and the humor seemed to take a darker turn over a LONG period of time.
Now he just seems a caricature of his former self. But, to his defense, he DOES have several hours a day of time to fill and he's been doing it for a very long time.
