Here is what I read, straight from the transcript. Mr. Black is Rush's attorney:

MR. BLACK: David Cline with his wife decided to publically or threatened to publically disclose Mr. Limbaugh's addiction to pain medication, among other things. They obtained the security access codes to his Palm Beach studio. They cornered him in the parking garage to his studio and they demanded 4 million dollars in order to keep this quiet and not sell it to the Enquirer. They had followed him a number of times in order to be able to get to him personally. David Cline was sort of a wild man making threats not only against Mr. Limbaugh, but other people associated with him. At first Mr. Limbaugh adamantly refused to pay and wanted to inform the FBI about this extortion attempt by his former housekeeper and her husband. But he first sought advice on how he ought to proceed with others who are in the business with him. He was told that if he made a complaint to law enforcement, that the people in power would ignore the crimes being perpetrated against him and instead they would target him because of who he was.

He was told that his enemies would use the fact of this addiction as a weapon to discredit him, and, of course, all that this subsequently became true. Over years he paid substantial amounts of money to the Clines because of their extortion. After the Clines bled him dry, they then went to the Palm Beach County State attorney's office in December of 2002 where they were granted immunity from prosecution in order to be used as witnesses against Mr. Limbaugh. Secondly, with their newly minted immunity, the Clines turned around and were free to sell their story to the National Enquirer for $250,000. Because with immunity from prosecution, nobody could touch them. Once this false or mostly false story hits the news media, the National Enquirer and all of this, pressure is now put on the Palm Beach County State attorney's office to have a criminal investigation of Mr. Limbaugh, which they did not have before. But because this was publicized by the Clines, they decided that they had to do something about Mr. Limbaugh.

Sounds like he paid them rather than face the truth. Then, at some point, he was "bled dry", so they went to the cops and screwed him even worse. Rush got played.

The POINT of my post was that there is grave and reasonable doubt that Vince Foster killed himself.

Ever hear the term "Clintoncide"?

Since it is clear that Republican politicos, more and more frequently, are succumbing to the temptations of various interest groups (not the least, the rent-seeking multinationals) and (in the case of Carl Rove) large voting blocs, you may be disappointed in a LOT of folks near-term.

But we can agree to disagree on Limbaugh in a friendly fashion. At least he spent his OWN money.

A judge ordered Rush Limbaugh's medical records resealed Wednesday for at least 15 days

Otherwise known as trying to unring a bell.

I think you need the Midol. Myself, I use Black Jack.

He may want to sue his lawyer-

"Limbaugh's lawyers, including Roy Black, had mentioned in court their intention to file an appeal but did not officially make their request until mid-afternoon Tuesday. "

Black is also a contestant in the "Did I say that out loud?" Annual Awards for his -

"attorney Roy Black said Limbaugh paid "extreme amounts of money" to Wilma Cline, his former housekeeper, and her husband, first for pills and then for extortion."

FIRST FOR PILLS ????? Doh !
