WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) ? Authorities are investigating whether Rush Limbaugh, already reeling from drug problems and his expulsion from ESPN, may have driven his vehicle just below the posted speed limits on numerous occasions, a law enforcement source who spoke on condition of anonymity said Wednesday.

As long as four years ago, local law enforcement manning Florida DUI checkpoints and 'speed traps' repeatedly clocked the ultraconservative demagogue at anywhere from one to six miles per hour below the applicable speed limits. Unconfirmed reports indicate that Limbaugh was also seen proceeding through intersections while traffic lights were yellow.

One officer who declined to be named told the AP that he had personally observed Limbaugh cruising at 43 in a 45 MPH zone. No charges were filed at that time. Critics contend that Limbaugh drove very close to the speed limit on at least 30 or 40 occasions, most likely with the deliberate intent of getting to his destination while avoiding tickets for speeding.

Limbaugh's attorney, Roy Black, did not return a phone call for comment Wednesday.

[dirtboy]

Yeah, but ABC news has videotape of Rush pulling a tag off a mattress he bought.

[Khepera]

This is sooooo funny. lock that guy up and throw away the key!

[tbird5]

Rush said this was a joke reported on Free Republic web site and he knew it

[demlosers]

[TYVets]

Reported that Rush spoke before the NRA annual convention a few years ago.

[ChefKeith]

So for one to avoid any suspicion We must do EXACTLY the posted speed, no more-no less?

[cjshapi]

Grocery store cameras have reportedly caught him purchasing paperback novels with missing covers from the discount table.

Publishers print warnings that such books are blackmarket and therefore are illegal to sell.

The DNC is going to report that Rush actually has a secret compulsion to read romance novels with half naked damsels and rogues on the cover but is to embarrassed to let anyone see him with them in the checkout line.

[T'wit]

Even a stopped clock obeys the law of gravity twice a day.

[TYVets]

What is the speed limit for Rocket Man?

[TonyRo76]

“...Limbaugh is alleged to have obeyed.”

LOL! Oh man that is too funny!!!

Rush read this on his show today....he enjoyed it very much!

[TonyRo76]

Yes, I've heard he even does eeeeeeevil things like enjoying BBQ, stoking up the fireplace in his living room and driving a car that gets less than 80 mpg...better send in the EcoNazis to stop him from this wicked behavior!

[Bikers4Bush]

He has also failed to rewind his VCR tapes and DVD's. (I know, find the humor)

[TonyRo76]

Yep...he was laughing and so was I (and probably millions of others).

Gotta love conservative wit and humor—it's so lost on lefties! :)

[PeteFromMontana]

You deserve more notoriety hence the post from El Rushbo himself!

~Saluting~

[smiley]

It was heartwarming to hear Rush talk about this today...so glad that we have wonderful Freepers who are so supportive of our President, our troops and our patriots like Rush and other Freepers....

[lilylangtree]

Assuming this is parody, I'm laughing cause I like da Rush.

[Faith]

Good work, Sloth. We might as well laugh at the leftist media. They think they know all the answers, and yet they don't even know what the questions are.

[Faith]

P.S. God bless you, Rush.

[DustyMoment]

Too funny!!!

I also hear that Rush pays his taxes to avoid having the Feds confiscate his property.

The idea!!!

[SuziQ]

LOL!! This is brilliant!
More 'gotcha' journalism!

[Slings and Arrows]

Latest report is that he took out his Penis in the mens room at CBS thereby exposing himself before urinating.

Dan Rather is suing for damage to his self-esteem.

[ml/nj]

[sauropod]

precisely.

[thiscouldbemoreconfusing]

This is too good to just bookmark, I'm adding it to my favorites.

[AZamericonnie]

Great job Sloth, very funny stuff!

[Blood of Tyrants]

It was a parody of the "news" story done by ABC where Rush didn't break the law by withdrawing $9900 from his own bank account.

[TAP ONLINE]

I see no humor in this story.

Intentionally driving under the posted speed is dangerous.

I repeat- Intentionally driving under the posted speed is dangerous.

To consciously drive below the posted limit is a distraction. The driver is looking down at his speedometer instead of watching traffic and pedestrians.

Driving under the speed limit intentionally slow is a major cause of accidents and should be illegal.

Besides how can he live up to his name if he drives slow?

[zerosix]

Let's just add up the "crimes" so far: making withdrawals from own account; driving under the speed limit; running yellow lights; removing mattress and pillow tags from own purchases.

Probably removing plastic covers from own lampshades and outdoor furniture cushions will be the next reported crimes of the century.

Glad to know the G-Men are on top of things, what with potential terrorist threats interference and all.

[scannell]

Rush dosen't sleep on a mattress, he sleeps on air.

[scannell]

Rush dosen't sleep on a mattress, he sleeps on air.

[Mich0127]

Oh my god, what an outlaw...he drove close to the speed limit..that is blasphemy!

[GreenHornet]

Yeah, but ABC news has videotape of Rush pulling a tag off a mattress he bought.

ABC is also reporting that an unnamed source close to Limbaugh claims that, on at least two occasions, Rush used his VCR to tape a baseball game without the expressed written consent of the Commisioner of Baseball.

[ducks1944]

I love than that one ! ! ! I bet Dan Rather was up all night crying about that ! !

[ducks1944]

Wonder who Rather lawyer is ??? Mark G. maybe ? We love you RUSH ! ! !

[Slings and Arrows]

Thank you very much. It was a simple use of association - think of a little pr*ck, think of Dan Rather.

[novacation]

ROTFLMAO!

[PJ-Comix]

New information is now developing that Rush returned multiple library books just shortly before they were to become overdue.

[Harris]

Some of this activity was done without the express written consent of the Commissioner of Major League Baseball.

SIREN ALERT!!! The tabloids are holding back a story that Rush may have fast forwarded past the FBI warning on his videotape of "The War Room".

[Reactionary]

"As long as four years ago, local law enforcement manning Florida DUI checkpoints and 'speed traps' repeatedly clocked the ultraconservative demagogue at anywhere from one to six miles per hour below the applicable speed limits. Unconfirmed reports indicate that Limbaugh was also seen proceeding through intersections while traffic lights were yellow."

LOL! Yellow lights! He was going slow! Man the lifeboats!

Really. I haven't seen such idiotic liberal drivel in a very long time.

[Lauratealeaf]

I read in a tabloid that Rush Limbaugh hesitates on the doorstep.

[goldstategop]

Rush paid tribute to Free Republic by mentioning this thread on his website this afternoon.

[JohnHuang2]

Rush's in a quagmire! This is so series!

[upier]

"Even a stopped clock obeys the law of gravity twice a day. "


WHAT?????

[TonyRo76]

It was heartwarming to hear Rush talk about this today...

Most definitely! Makes me feel truly honored to be a part of this community of dedicated patriots on FR :)

[steve8714]

I can't drive 55.

[T'wit]

Just having fun. I didn't think anyone would notice :-)

From your nom, are you a Yooper?
