I was mistaken to try and reason with you. Your blinders make you unable to see your own hypocrisy. And if you are willing to live with it, that's your call.

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

She claimed that a lawyer for Limbaugh gave her a payoff - $80,000 he owed her, plus another $120,000 - and asked her to destroy the computer that contained the E-mail records.

Here is the link (it's from a NY Daily News story):

Is the housekeeper credible? Don't know, but it is clearly an allegation of bribery. And yes, if true, it makes her an accomplice. And if true, it doesn't make Rush any less of one.

I may be misreading "payoff" for "payola"; to me, overpaying on a transaction such as that amount to the same thing. I was mistaken on the threats and extortion.

Let me reiterate: I think Rush has been through the wringer enough; I don't think he committed any crimes, but I don't know all of the accusations and all of the details and neither do you.

But IF he is guilty, we Conservatives have to insist he pay the price. Just as we would insist on a Kennedy or on you or me paying the price.

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.

What I heard was that he paid her for her services. Had you only claimed bribery, you would still have some credibility. You lost all credibility when you claimed he was accused of extortion when there was none, and you claimed threats, etc, but produced nothing. You seem like a shill.

And you claim hypocrisy when I clearly stated that I have always been against these drug laws for people who suffer pain. Do I have to repeat it again?
