I agree that Rush should be treated just like anyone else. And when we're sick of hearing about him getting raped daily in prison, maybe we will get rid of these evil laws.

Try to imagine the authorities even taking up the case if he wasn't famous. That's what I've been getting at - the more conspicuous you are the more people expect from you. And if you fail to meet their expectations, no one wants to hear from you again. True, OJ was never convicted of murder but he's now the world's loneliest man which in a condign way is a fitting punishment for his crime. Every one may start out with a presumption of equal treatment under the law but their station in life and people's perception of it, does influence the kind of treatment they'll get in the event they're suspected of wrong-doing.

If he were like you and me, that'd be the case. Fame is no respecter of persons as some would like to imagine. Being famous doesn't necessarily make you more immune to being sanctioned by the law - even though there is a perception prominent people have an easier time of it in court than the rest of us do.

That does not make it right. It is even worse in this situation because the procedures of the system are being excercised differently in this ONE case.
This is not a result of "station" in life. This is solely a result of being against the Democrat Party. This is no different than commuinsts in the USSR using all state tools to crush opposition.
In the end I hope this can be turned around to crush democrats.
To: longtermmemmory
And if Rush were a liberal celebrity do you think he should get a pass? Assuming everything else you heard about the case where exactly the same.

Only what I have said from day one. The same. A liberal who is caught will get the diversion treatment program just as ANYONE else.
If it was a liberal and the facts were identical I would want done what I have seen done. nothing.

Thank you.

"Kendall Coffey - He was Gore's lawyer in the recount." I know -- I was one of the Florida Freepers who went to Tallahassee during the re-count. Got the pictures and the videotape of C-Span's coverage of our FReep and the Miami Herald's article and Freeper interviews to prove it. LOL

This is going to become like the OJ case.
Rush=Ratings
Rush has 20 million listeners who have gone out of their way to see his appearances on TV. Even his TV show was a hit despite being burried at 2 am.
It is only natural that many will make their opions on the case a tool for PR.
BTW, as a reporter where would you rather be in December and Janurary. NY or sunny Palm Beach FL. Pay attention where the tag line of the report is comming from. If it says Miami it may be reporters decided to have fun in southbeach and the grove.

To get 2,000 pills in 6 months how many pharmacies would he have had to use? He couldn't take the prescriptions to the same drug store or drug chain since their systems track what they sell by patient. They have to because of the problems of interactions as well as reporting issues with the controlled drugs. They advertise out here that they can get your prescription record at any of their stores. I'd really like to know more about the controls that pharmacies have on these kind of drugs.
A lot of wealthy people have lackeys to run tasks for them like picking up prescriptions for their employer and I suspect a lot of them take the prescription to the pharmacy and the wealthy person doesnt even show up. I wonder if Rush was the one picking the meds up and ordering refills? Someone in household could have been authorized to do that for him.
How many of the type of pain killers a day could someone take and not die or be totally unable to perform their job at the level that Rush does?

BUMP for GREAT freeping.
This is what good freeping is. Nice work on the transcript.
Rush was a pill addict, like Jerry Lewis (percodan for back pain) and Elvis Presley, and a whole lot of other people (celebrities included) who never saw it coming - - the addiction just crept up on them. Rush's case SHOULD be a slam-dunk "get-teatment-pay-fine-do-community-service-don't-do-it-again" case. Anything else is clearly a political witch-hunt / vendetta.
To: goldstategop
Let's get this clearly and plainly .. Rush Limbaugh is being targeted by the Hillary goon squad. If people can't see that, they are either deaf, dumb, blind or just plain stooooopid.
Al Franken and Ed Asner have said so very plainly. To make the statement (while salivating) .. "now we've got him" .. tells me everything I need to know. This is a hit on Rush because of his politics .. not because he's a celebrity.
Hillary is probably planning on running in 2004 .. and she will not be able to pull her stealth stuff with Rush revealing everything over the airwaves. Hillary only believes in free speech when people say nice things about her.

OK, but I will note that you have changed your line of argument from "he should have been treated differently" to "in reality people are treated differently depending on their circumstances". The latter is just a description of reality, whereas the former is advocating disparate treatment. So, are you still, or are you no longer advocating disparate treatment for identical offenses?
To: Matchett-PI
Does anyone have any information regrding the number of people in Florida who have actually been prosecuted for "Doctor Shopping" during the last 5 years or so? I'm willing to bet it's a very low number - perhaps as low as zero.
