Limbaugh May Have Avoided Speeding Tickets (Humor)

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.

Rush read this entire thing on the air. Strangely, he substituted "pain killer" for "drug". That was disappointing.

Yep! In Rush's words, you're one of "our buddies over at Free Republic."

Congratulations!

No fair, you all can hear Rush's show and I'm stuck in this stupid building with stupid wiring and stupid radio reception. I haven't been able to listen in over a year!!!

But I do have an excellent view of the top of Seahawk Stadium... I guess that's something.
