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.

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.

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.

Great job Sloth, very funny stuff!
To: ChefKeith
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.

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?
To: Bikers4Bush
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.

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.

I love than that one ! ! ! I bet Dan Rather was up all night crying about that ! !
To: Slings and Arrows
Wonder who Rather lawyer is ??? Mark G. maybe ? We love you RUSH ! ! !
To: ducks1944
Thank you very much. It was a simple use of association - think of a little pr*ck, think of Dan Rather.
To: PeteFromMontana
ROTFLMAO!
