RUSH LIMBAUGH ARRESTED AGAIN

Those are so clever! Are they Limbaugh sayings?

 

I wish I knew of one.....
Hunt with dick Chaney.....lol....that was way too funny yesterday at 5 p.m.....

 

Yeah, sure: that is why Rush's legal team took a plea bargain. NO CHANCE!

IF Rush was a victim of "dubiously acquired private medical records," he would have fought this in court with his vast resources.

Besides: didn't Rush himself say that drug abusers should go to prison?

This sure does sound a lot like the Bill O'Reilly incident, doesn't it? Remember how he was going to fight the person who was smearing him, only to settle out of court?

BiR (headed to Kansas City) </font>[/QUOTE]The DA had no case. That's why this piddling little settlement was reached. Limbaugh admitted no guilt. This whole mess was a politically motivated charade by the DA from beginning to end.

 

A memory refresher from Free Republic:

PROSECUTOR BLUFFED 'LIMBAUGH COMMITTED AT LEAST 10 FELONIES' Sun Apr 30 2006 17:15:30 ET

Palm Beach County prosecutors rejected an overture in 2004 from Rush Limbaugh's attorneys that would have allowed the nation's top talkshow host to enter drug rehabilitation, rather than face criminal charges for prescription drug abuse.

Prosecutors, at the time, claimed they had evidence that Limbaugh committed at least 10 felonies!

It now appears James Martz, the prosecutor who headed the investigation into Limbaugh's prescription drug use, was bluffing when he said that medical records "indicate evidence that would support in excess of 10 felony counts for violations."

Prosecutors said Limbaugh, in any deal, would have to plead guilty to doctor shopping, a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

[Prosecutors also suggested at the time that Limbaugh may have been involved in illegal money laundering.]

In an anticlimactic Florida finish, Limbaugh today will respond that he is "not guilty" of a single charge of fraud for concealing information to obtain a prescription -- and in 18 months the charge will be dropped and the record expunged.

 

Yeah, right.
IF "the DA had no case," then Rush Limbaugh would have used his vast resources to fight this, especially if "the whole mess was a politically motivated charade by the DA."

Everybody but the most passionate of dittoheads would acknowledge this fact. There is NO WAY Rush Limbaugh would go through all this if "the DA had no case."

BiR,

If the DA had anything of a case at all, why, after 2 and a half years were no charges ever filed and why was there not a grand jury indictiment.

They were in the midst of a legal battle over the records......

BiR

 

That they obtained illegally. Yes. Now I remember.

Joseph Botwinick

 

Oh, really?
Please explain that one, because I seem to recall that the court felt otherwise.

 

As I remember it the DA's office seized records while an appeal was in process?

That is, a lower court judge said it was OK, and while an appeal was being filed the records were seized...

Now, later court ruling upheld the confidentiality of 'most' patient records...

The records seized were, as far as I know, ruled confidential and therefore not admisible by the latest and higher courts rulings...

I could be wrong... But, there was a reason the DA backed off as far as he did...

This would have *never* happened to a liberal talk show host...

 

Why not? Do yo imagine that all DAs, even the Republicans, are in collusion with all the liberal talk show hosts? Or do you think that all the liberal talk show hosts are too unimportant to pursue?

 

Many reasons...

1. We expect Liberals to be pot smoking drunk hypocrites so we take them in stride....

2. There aren't that many of them in talk radio because most can't get the ratings to stay on the air...

3. The Conservative DA's are far more likely to live by a code of ethics...

Shall I go on?

 

Dead on

 

Please provide a link to the rationale for this information you posted.

..........or was it because Rush's attorneys were working on a plea bargain?

I guess we will find out if there ever is a liberal talk show host who is addicted to oxycontin and is accused of doctor shopping.....

AND YET, it was none other than Rush Limbaugh who was doing so much hillbilly heroin that it may have been a contributing factor in his loss of hearing. As for being a "hypocrite," bear in mind that it was none other than Rush Limbaugh who:
1. Constantly makes fun of Ted Kennedy's drinking issues while he had a HUGE oxycontin addiction.
2. Has claimed that drug abusers should go to prison.

Is that what you mean by "hypocrite?"

Ah yes, I suppose this is yet another example of the bizarre belief that success mandates credibility.

HUH?
What in the world do you mean by this? What does this have to do with anything?

If you are going to give us some links to reinforce your claims, then by all means.....

My aren't 'we' the argumentative one...

 

No, not really, but did you respond to any of my points?

Hmm, when arguements are lacking, resort to personal remarks, eh?

 

Such is the "justice" system of today.

The prosecution doesn't have a strong enough case to follow through on it's threats and the defense and the prosecution both know that anything can happen in a courtroom.

What it amounts to is that neither side trusts the jury system. So they strike a bargain. Both sides were eager for it, so it happened. Neither side was forced.

It takes two to strike a bargaain.

 

Trials are very expensive. Plea bargaining is more common than jury trials.
