Re: Re:

It has been so long since I have listened to him I did not realize he is single again. So did he get a divorce? He was married wasn't he? - wasn't her name Marta or something like that?

Yea, what ever happened to Marta? Did they get a divorce? When? Maybe that was why? Hmmm ???

I think that it has been 2 or 3 years since he got divorced.

I have a serious question for anybody that thinks this is funny, cool, deserved etc. Why did a Government agency release information about this to the press? The AP? And if you think that was OK, why is this not an invasion of privacy like so many claim the Patriot act is? The Administration period? The phone call data stuff? The wire tapping? Where is the outrage? Here is a case where a Government agency released very private information about an individual to the press and not one cry of foul or suggestion that this was an invasion of privacy . Nothing, zippo, nada . . . ???

Re:

I'm going to open a stand selling "one way liberal glasses".. with them on you can't see anything out of place with the democrats and everything is out of place with the republicans. An example would be..when Rush was under investigation for illegal pain medication the libs were p**ing themselves in glee but when the Kennedy wrecked the car because he was on drugs and went to rehab I heard none of the condemnations. Maybe I can sell them on Ebay!:^

Re:

Well, as far as the painkillers go, Rush sets himself up for this when he pontificates about druggies getting the book thrown at them...throw away the key, et al.

Dr shopping is illegal, but he got a pretty good deal with probation---Something lesser known or affluent perpetrators are not likely to get.

But it is illegal to be fraudelently in possession of someone else's prescription--which he apparently violated. Since he was on probation for a prescription drug violation, it seems kind of foolish and foolhardy to jeapordize that probation with another violation.

We are, after all, responsible for our own actions as Rush likes to point out ad naseum.

As far as his privacy goes, when you are accused of committing a crime, it auromatically becomes a matter of public record, and is free red meat to the press. It is the way the system works.

Re:

Re:

He was in posession of a prescription that didn't have his name on it. Technically it may be a violation of his probation. He went to prison for prescription fraud. There are circumstances where it may be legal. They're looking into that. Granted they're not pain killers, but it's still a violation ... maybe. He was told to keep his nose clean. Others have gone back to jail for lesser violations. But he's such a holier-than-thou personna, it just falls under the "Judge not lest ye be judged" category. He's big on the three strikes stuff. This may be strike two for Him.

Re:

QC, I know you are smarter than that.....
Bill wanted to save his wife (&himself) from public embarassment over his infidelity.......
Frankly that witch hunt should have never happened...
"Limp", however, doctor shopped, (ILLEGAL), got caught, got sweetheart deal, now violates another drug law.....HMMMMMMM.
AS I said before, I wouldn't even care if he did not pontificate & blather on about what he this is right / wrong.......
Rush Limpbaugh , is a big , fat , hipocrite......
& if nothing else it is his particular brand of hubris that makes me loathe him.....JK

Re:

This just in!:

Rush Limbaugh was caught by US customs trying to leave the country with perscription blood pressure medication.

LOL. I know how much some of you libs must dispise this man, but y'all are really stretching. Aren't you? yes.... yes you are.

Cowboy-up . Rush is number one now, and for however long he wants to continue....And not to bring you down any further,but --- Paul Harvey is still werking!
LOL!!!!

Re:

Re:

Like most of us, Ol Rush reaps what he sows.

The moral of the story is be careful what you plant. It is likely to grow.

The second moral of the story is that if you are well known and wealthy, you can likely break the law and get at most a wrist slap.

The big growth industry here in Northern Michigan is prisons, and it seems we are relocating a good share of Detroiters to the upper peninsula, many of them for relatively minor drug crimes. Rush should be very happy the courts apparently do not listen to his show, or take it seriously.

Re:

Re:

HM,

I think protection of privacy was the intent with both Clinton and Rush. And I will say again because it was a whole board ago . . . I am not a Rush fan. And I am not picking on Clinton, just your sense of consistency about doing really stupid stuff, privacy, petty law breaking etc. Yes, Rush getting caught with an improperly labeled and obtained bottle of Viagra is at the very least ironic, but it is understandable . . . It is not some incictment of the man's character, although the Clinton thing definitely was . . .
