You are reaching for this explanation of the prosecution of Rush Limbaugh. There is a big difference between the two charges, the only similarity is in the satisfaction that the opposition feels toward the demeaning result of the personalities of those prosecuted.

Clinton was the POTUS, the chief executive of the laws of the country, as such should be held to the highest expectations of legal order. The idea that it was all right for Clinton to abuse that power to sexually harrass young women, and then lie about it in a court of law (not to mention subborning perjury of others) was indicative of the elitist arrogance that pervaded the Clinton administration.

The doctor shopping charge that Limbaugh supposedly broke is (as you have stated) a stupid law which should be withdrawn, especially if it necessitates invasion of the doctor/patient relationship to prosecute in the first place. The fact that Limbaugh is a conservative radio personality should not make him more likely to be prosecuted than you or I. If it can happen to Rush, it can happen to any one of us, should we offend the leftist elite.

Some of what you said made sense until you reached here...
if you had said " should we break the same stupid law" or even " should we get addicted to prescription drugs" I could have respected what you said -
( but not agreed with it ) -

As it is you ended it on the " they are out to get him for political purposes" note -
which is the same as saying " it's OK to purjure yourself if it's only about sex - they only went after him for political purposes "
