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.

Congrats on your newfound fame!
I heard Rush read this story on the way back to the dorm after picking up some lunch, and almost crashed--I was laughing so hard.

"consciouness of guilt" That's what Attorney Vincent Bugliosi used in his classic defense in the "And the Sea Will Tell" case.
Would Vince defend Rush?
My guess is that ... Vince would -- if really necessary.

Oh lord, someone named Dave from Las Vegas e-mailed Rush to look it over carefully, as it was a joke. I am laughing so hard.

that was funny...
Thanks for the heads up, Dave! :)

And to me personally, it's an indication that Rush was knowingly doing something wrong Rush has admitted to knowingly doing something wrong. What else do you want from the guy? To just voluntarily serve time in prison even without being charged with a crime?

You are an A**HOLE along with being a scummy lawyer.
To: Bronco_Buster_FweetHyagh
That's not the kind of behavior I expect from a hero. Rush fell off the pedestal that YOU placed him on. He is fallible, like the rest of us.

I can't get him up in Canada at all except when I'm in my car and it's a scratchy reception from Ogdensburg NY...

I would tend to think that all he would need to do to puncture that consideration (and that instruction just says it can be considered) would be an example, or two, of Rush proving he made such a withdrawl for purposes which clearly were legit, especially if he can produce evidence supporting his claim that the bank had encouraged him to do so to cut down on their paperwork, and especially if he can provide evidence that the bank had done so with other clients as well.

So, when the rest of us withdraw under $10,000, what are we guilty of, in our consciences? That can't be all there is to it.
