Not only that, but I also heard that today a Congresscritter from Louisiana was thinking of switching to GOP!

What a day, folks, what a day.

And it isn't even NOON yet!

When I was in the Army, we would've referred to this as a "Double Standard." So, in Palm Beach County, what's good for the goose is obviously only good for the goose and not the gander.

"... but was never investigated if he obtained the pills legally, ..."

Time to investigate the legal hypocrite.

The lib/dem politics in PB county stinks to high heaven.

IMHO they are still pi$$ed off about the 2000 elections and wanted to do anything they could to remove Rush's influence in the 2004 battle in FL. Methinks they went a 'bridge too far".

[antiRepublicrat]

Rush's rights are being violated - equal protection under the law.

You're right, equal treatment: drop the case and count his rehab, then kick him out of his broadcaster's chair as the judge was removed from his bench.

Do we really want absolutely equal treatment for all offenders? I'd like to keep listening to Rush.

"His records do not appear to have been seized nor were his doctors’ offices raided. Talk about friend of the court!"


Time to seize ALL records and raid all doctor offices as well. After all that's what they did to Rush!

Time to put the legal hypocrite under the microscope.

[Arrowhead1952]

Schwartz suffered from numerous psychological and emotional disorders, including drug dependency, anxiety, panic disorder and sleeping disorder.

No mention why he needed a pain killer for any of these.

Last fall, Limbaugh publicly acknowledged that he's addicted to pain medication and has completed a drug rehabilitation program.

He remains under investigation by Palm Beach County prosecutors for alleged doctor-shopping.

Nope. No bias here.

[GraniteStateConservative]

See, we're principled. So "they do it, too" isn't a legit response. This is a non-story. Either we execute as instructed by DC the WOD laws or we repeal them.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Sounds like Rush definitely has a case now. "Equal protection under the law" BUMP!!

[Alouette]

Difficult as it may be to understand, there are people who take painkillers because they are in severe pain.

[rockinonritalin]

He was removed from the bench in October 2002 only after he was unable to hold court, staying in his chambers for several hours a day!

The guy couldn't do his job. If Rush can't do his, he'll be out too.

[AUH2OY2K]

Does any one know where I can get a copy of the brief filed by Roy Black regarding the release of plea/settlement negotiations by the DA??? Any help would be appreciated

[pepperhead]

You're right, equal treatment: drop the case and count his rehab, then kick him out of his broadcaster's chair as the judge was removed from his bench.

Rush is self employed the judge isn't.

[evad]

Rush's show should be really good today.
Yeah that and North Korea's media endorsing Kerry for President ought to make it a classic.

Yeah..
Rush always talks about how his show is the show-prep for all the other shows that day but there's NO DOUBT in my mind that Drudge and FREE Republic are the show prep for Rush.

[The Wizard]

great post

[elli1]

If the county prosecutor going after Rush was also the same one in power when this judge got nailed, we have a little problem here.

You bet. Krischer was first elected in Nov '92 and took office in January '93.

Unrelated to this, but maybe someone here knows the answer. Does anyone know where to go on the foxnews.com website to order a calendar? I can't find it anywhere! It's probably right in front of my face, but even their search engine doesn't help.
