"When other well-known people have developed presciption drug dependencies, they have been smothered in support. Betty Ford has a clinic named after her. But Rush Limbaugh, and Rush Limbaugh alone, has been pursued by an obsessed political enemy using his office as prosecutor to take out the most important conservative in the mass media."
Robert Downey had a different kind of drug dependency.
"Robert Downey had a different kind of drug dependency."
You didn't say it had to be prescription drugs. And I believe you are assuming that the prosecutor would recommend jail time rather than than drug rehab, if Limbaugh were to be convicted.
Maybe the prosecutor was hoping to pressure Rush into founding a clinic in Florida...
