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?

The fact is, it was planned. Give an idiot sufficient rope and he will hang himself.
BTW, how's the water over in the DU kiddie pool?? Be sure and stay in the shallow end...
I don't know about that... Given the fact that I still got 3 different Rxs for 3 different controlled substances, from 3 different doctors in just a few weeks, probably means that if I was in FL, I would have been in violation of the law.
And this was done completely innocently, with no attempt to get around any laws, or get drugs for recreational use... Another thing... Given the fact that I don't take these drugs unless I absolutely have to, I just realized that when I had shingles, I was given a Rx for hydrocodone to help me sleep, and I still had all those other drugs in the bottles laying around at home... Would that make me a drug dealer under FL law?
Actually, the reason I've got all those drugs at home is I don't really know how to dispose of them. I'm not sure how to do so safely. I suppose that I should contact a pharmacy to find out how. I don't like the idea of just tossing them out in the garbage, and just dumping them down the sink sounds like a bad idea.

IF??
Rush Limbaugh is Enemy #1 to the Democratic Party. Can you do the math?
"If he walked the talk he would not be in this mess. He created it and he gets to clean it up."
Are you confusing Rush Limbaugh with Jesus Christ?? If you are, then don't bother listening to anyone else EVER for guidance.
Furthermore, when you get the videotape of Rush meeting Al Pacino's 'Scarface' for his bag of crack cocaine, then you've got something.
For the moment you are merely one more cog in the liberal/media propaganda machine that chooses to selectively mete out political "justice" over dime-store "crimes", rather than for the multitude of blockbuster criminal activities of traitorous and backroom business-dealing Democratic Presidents, Senators, and Congresswhores.
Yes I tend to agree it could be a witch hunt. Time will tell.

You give the Democrats way to much credit. BTW, if Rush was walking the talk there would not be anything for the Demorats to attack.

Nope, Jesus gives us the ability to clean up the messes we make. And if we abide in Him we make less of a mess as time passes and our relationship grows. But Jesus is pretty clear about the fact that we get to clean up our own messes. Even if the consequences are unpleasant.

SNORT.

Are you saying that if Rush committed a crime we should ignore it because 95% of our congress-critters qualify as a criminal class onto themselves?
Excellent point.
It went something like this: "When someone is determined to make a fool of themselves in foaming at the mouth over someone's shortcomings, including your's, step aside and let them rage on!"
Then the old Proverb came to mind since you've gone "biblical" at this point and it goes like this: "Tis better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!"
Get a grip little man and hold back some of your bilge till you actually have some truth to go on. Right now you're just being another "conclusion jumper" and it's not becoming, if you know what I mean.
The reality you allude to is apparently "optional" for some DU'ers and others trolling this thread.
I'm looking for proportional justice for the same exact "crime" of which Brett Favre, Steve Howe, Darryl Strawberry, and half the NFL and NBA can easily be convicted, but AREN'T.
And where is the call for investigations AND justice for priority crimes committed by many in the Senate, Congress and former POTUS against the people? Why is this case such a priority? If folks are so concerned with enforcing the law, let's assess crimes in accordance with status and profile, seriousness, and number of citizens affected.
"It could be a witch hunt."
Puleese. And Michael Moore could be an anti-American socialist.
Do yourself a favor and get a calculator -- if that helps you sort out the fact that THIS IS A POLITICAL HIT.
