"I agree that the prosecutors in this case are going after Rush because he is Rush. But I see prosecutors go hard on people all the time for silly reasons even while they let others slide for similar conduct. They are much more likely to pursue weak charges against a poor person than one who has money because they know that the poor person probably won't make bail and therefore will be much more likely to plead because he won't want to sit in jail for months waiting for a trial."
But why Rush because he's Rush.
Is there money to be made? Higher ups to be had?
I mean something besides his cohorts blaming a VLWC.

I don't know what "VLWC" means. As far as why they would go after Rush because he is Rush, my thinking is that it is odd that they are going to all of this trouble over a drug addict. If they catch someone red handed often they'll prosecute, but normally they don't go out of their way to nail someone who isn't selling drugs. I've know of instances in Florida where they've done reverse stings and caught people buying drugs before, but those were the kind of deals where they had a guy out on the street selling dope and they video taped the transactions and popped people right then and there one after another. It seems like they went to a lot more trouble to get Rush.

Why would they do it? Well, a lot of people just hate Rush Limbaugh. I have to say I don't care for the man at all. I sometimes listen to him and sometimes find him amusing but for the most part I think he's just a hateful jerk-off who makes too much money spewing hate and polarizing America.

Also, you have to keep in mind that head prosecutors are normally elected officials. If this guy is a Democrat in an area with mostly Democrats, he might be doing this to score political points. Hopefully this will backfire on him though because most people, Democrats included, don't want to see drug addicts raked through the coals too much, especially when they became addicted to drugs they were prescribed for legitimate health reasons.
