THE PERSECUTION OF RUSH GOES ON MARK A SITY 12/26/03

Years ago, Brett Favre had a problem with pain killers. He was buying them illegally after a prescription ran out for after an injury that still hurt. He became addicted. After the news came out, he apologized to his fans, went into treatment, and all was right with the world. Not a soul seems to be interested in investigating Ozzy Osbourne’s drug use, but there might be a reason for this. Ozzy seems to be attempting to prove the theory of evolution by devolving into lower forms of life before our eyes. Ozzie is an interesting scientific experiment.

Yet, Rush Limbaugh is reported to have a problem with an addiction to pain killers, admits it and goes into treatment, and all is still not right with the world. Rumors are reported first that he’s part of a drug ring investigation. Ok, it seems this is true in that his name turned up as a customer. Then rumors were reported that he was buying these prescription pain killers in 1000+ lots. Then rumors were reported that he was involved in selling the drugs (like he really needs the money!). Then it was money laundering. Now he is under investigation for the very serious crime of “DOCTOR SHOPPING”. It seems this is a huge crime in Florida.

This makes me wonder. If I take my family to Florida for a vacation, and our daughter hurts herself, let’s say she hurts her leg. Being from Wisconsin we wouldn’t know who the good FL doctors are and who the quacks are. We’d probably take her to the closest doctor. So let’s say we get Dr Quack. Dr Quack takes her into the X-ray room, and comes out with an X ray showing a hairline fracture in her calf bone. We would assume a leg cast is in order. Dr Quack comes back with not the plaster cart, but a laughing gas cart and then pulls out a big meat saw. Dr Quack tells us he will have to amputate her leg for the hairline fracture. If we decide to take her out of the office (with both legs attached) and look for a second opinion are we in violation of FL law for “DOCTOR SHOPPING”?

I don’t claim to have any inside information on Rush’s situation, but drawing on what he has said, it seems that he had a painful back problem and went to Dr Quack. Dr Quack recommended surgery. Dr Quack messed up the surgery. Dr Quack prescribed a pain killer to Rush for temporary relief of a long term problem. Dr Quack’s prescription ran out on Rush, leaving him in debilitating pain. Rush knew the pain killer could allow him mobility, and Dr Quack offered no option other than permanent debilitating pain for the rest of his natural life. It seems to me that Rush should have been “doctor shopping” a long time ago!

Why is Rush on trial here, without even any charges being filed? Shouldn’t Dr Quack be the one being investigated for leading an innocent victim down the path of lawlessness and drug use? Where is the AMA? Could it be that they, along with the press have an anti-Rush agenda? Nah, couldn’t be. If I believed that I’d be one of the black helicopter conspiracy types then, wouldn’t I?

What a laugh. Like you would know. Please let the rest of us in on all the arrests that have been made. Please be specific, stating names, charges, and the relation to Limbaugh. While you're at it, pleaase supply a list of all the doctor shopping prosecutions by this DA's office.

"He may be telling the truth about being slow."

I think that's a given.

Merry Christmas.

"So, the media just came up with the money laudering story on their own? "

Fed information ? I believe there was a press conference on that one ? Somehow I don't think that could be considered a "leak"


"And further, if you think any information they mine out of Rush's medical records, whether related to their investigation or something completely irrelevant, you are incredibly naive. "

I would probably reply if that was a complete sentance :-)

[HighWheeler]

"So any deal probably will involve dropping the more serious charges, money laundering & trafficking,...

So lemme get this straight.

You think that the prosecution has money laundering & trafficking in their pocket, yet they are spending all this time and energy trying for the crown jewel of convictions - doctor shopping?????

Buwahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!

POOF ! ( pictures and all ! )

LOL. The last post by Absolute Justice was at 3:59! Do you think he punched out at 4? Or maybe he just has no response to your last statement. Nah, he got done at 4. I wonder how much he made today, talking with us on the internet?

[Trust but Verify]

Pardon me, you know what I meant and you know there is no way to stop them from leaking the information if that is their desire. By the way, you misspelled sentence.

"LOL. The last post by Absolute Justice was at 3:59! Do you think he punched out at 4? Or maybe he just has no response to your last statement. Nah, he got done at 4. I wonder how much he made today, talking with us on the internet?"

Probably a combination of both. I'm sure he is a loyal union worker.

[AbsoluteJustice]

What shoved in my face that I am a dope head? Na that would not be me that would be your knight El Rushbo himslef that is a dope head.

If you have nothing of substance to offer to the Rush argument then please go away and do not engage me in debate.

[RS]

"Pardon me, you know what I meant and you know there is no way to stop them from leaking the information if that is their desire. "

Well Duh - there's no way to stop Rush's doctor or lawyer or any of the nurses either if that is their desire. You have yet to show anything that would show that it is.

[Trust but Verify]

Are you in a hurry to see Rush in an Orange Jumpsuit ?

No, are you?

[longtermmemmory]

care to elaborate for the rest of us?

[Trust but Verify]

I see you got home safely. That's good.

[RS]

"Are you in a hurry to see Rush in an Orange Jumpsuit ?
No, are you?"

Nope, but I will allow justice to play out and if he deserves one, I want to see him get it, not slip away like Clinton.

[HighWheeler]

hahahaahahahahahah!

[Trust but Verify]

Sure. Our fellow FReeper, Absolute Justice, spent his whole work day debating Rush's transgressions yet sees nothing wrong with having cheated his employer out of a days wages.

[AbsoluteJustice]

"Wow, is Nancy Pelosi having her medical records invaded and released to the public through the media too????"

Can you show me where Rushs' medical records are being released to the public? This is news to me. Oh wait that is right they are sealed with the prosecutor.

"C'mon, you call us Rush supporters hypocrites."
Yes tis true some are.

It is a criminal investigation and 2 judges have heard the arguments. Both Judges sided with the DA on this one. So to further investigate the ILLEGALITY of one Rush Limbaugh records have been asked to be obtained to match up the DA's allegation that Rush was out getting narcotics illegally. Well we all know he was taking them illegally and abusing them. So tell me just how did he get this dope if he wasn't obtaining it illegally?

[RS]

Just in case you didn't find this also

"I see you got home safely. That's good."

Not that it is of any business of yours but yes I did. And can safely say that I am not popping pills that my wife has.

[blackbart.223]

"What shoved in my face that I am a dope head?"

No. That you are dishonest. You are paid to do a job, not engage in conversations on The Internet at someone else's expense. I don't expect you to understand this concept.

By the way, what branch of The Government do you "work" for?
