I don't think the abuse of drugs is a crime. It's certainly a sad thing, and we're all glad he's getting treatment, but not a crime.

But the real question is what other crimes were committed?

[Cacophonous]

I'll go a long way to maintain my honor and integrity.

[1Old Pro]

This is selective prosecution and a political witch hunt. They are worried about this "crime" and nobody cares a lick when a Kennedy murders a girl in his car when driving "illegally" drunk.

The direct consequence of abusing drugs is the breaking of laws. Laws have been enacted to stop the illegal acquisition of certain drugs that are not used properly. Rush has admitted to using gthe drugs improperly, therefore its logical to assume he had to have acquired them improperly.

Whoa. Not a person on this site would not like to prosecute Kennedy for Mary Joe's murder. Or any number of other liberals for any number of other crimes; the list is far too long to detail.

But IF Rush did commit a crime, does it make him any less guilty that he's a Conservative?

Which is why we need to distinguish between the addiction and the crime.

As far as the bribery, the housekeeper said that Rush gave her $120,000 in hush money:

Thats not bribery. You need to do a little research, like looking up these terms in a dictionary. I have no doubt that if the maid had credible evidence that Rush would have been booked before he went into rehab.

[Cacophonous]

It's the most basic kind of bribery, offering someone else money in order to gain an illicit advantage (i.e., her silence). What else would you call it?

I alway distrust men who coiff their hair too much and have "glamour shots" type pictures (real estate agents excluded).

My point is that ALL vehicular manslaughter cases are vigorously prosecuted except Ted Kennedy. On the other hand, few people are aggressively investigated for addiction to prescription drugs as Rush is.

[VRWC_minion]

Thank God Rush us being agressively investigated. Otherwise he would still be abusing. The law is working as its intended.

[Jim Noble]

I'm afraid it is looking as if El Rushbo is on the hook for multiple felonies.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I don't think so. What they rely on is the "Drugs BAAAADD! War on Drugs GOOOD!" mentality that the government has fostered for well over 60 years.

[Cacophonous]

Oh I agree with you on that. And it is not just. But the injustice is in the selective prosecution, not in the law itself. (If it's a bad law to begin with, it should be repealed).

[babaloo]

What one person calls "hush money" another might call "blackmail".

[Jim Noble]

I do have a problem with that if it is an bad, unenforced law that is only being enforced because of Limbaugh's politics

There are at least a million people in prison for crimes related in some way to use of prescription drugs or to tax evasion/money laundering.

Crimes such as "uttering" (false prescriptions), "structuring" (sub-$10 000 money transactions), "shopping" (multiple prescriptions for the same episode)are a reality.

If Rush did these things, which will allow his enemies to get him, he is a stupid fool.

The idea that the law is "only being enforced because of his politics" is false, and if you know any of the millions whose lives have been or are today being ruined because of these laws, I hope you would be ashamed.

[Salvation]

**Funny how the partisan Democratic, liberal journalists in the AP and the rest of the liberal media are not pointing out that the man who is going after Rush Limbaugh, Barry Krischer, the Florida State Attorney of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit (which includes Palm Beach County), is a Democrat.**

Does anyone know if FoxNews has brought out this information?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I bend over for no one.

Surely you jest.

Is this the same guy that got his wife off three times for drunk driving when he was practicing law.
