Reports Stating Rush Limbaugh Was Arrested Are Inaccurate; Limbaugh's Attorney Holds Press Conference at 8:00 pm Tonight
Friday April 28, 7:55 pm ET

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- A spokesman for Rush Limbaugh said some news reports that state Mr. Limbaugh was arrested are inaccurate.

Separately, Rush Limbaugh's attorney, Roy Black will hold a press conference at 8:00 pm this evening at the Marriott Hotel at 1001 Okeechobbee Road in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Mr. Black will discuss the agreement reached today with the State Attorney's Office whereby a single count charge of doctor shopping that was filed today by the State Attorney will be dismissed in 18 months.

As previously announced, a primary condition of the dismissal, Mr. Limbaugh must continue to seek treatment from the doctor he has seen for the past two and one half years. This is the same doctor under whose care Mr. Limbaugh has remained free of his addiction without relapse.

Mr. Black stated, "Mr. Limbaugh and I have maintained from the start that there was no doctor shopping, and we continue to hold this position. Accordingly, we filed today with the Court a plea of 'Not Guilty' to the charge filed by the State.

"As part of this agreement, Mr. Limbaugh also has agreed to make a $30,000 payment to the State of Florida to defray the public cost of the investigation. The agreement also provides that he must refrain from violating the law during the 18 month period, must pay $30 per month for the cost of "supervision" and comply with other similar provisions of the agreement.

"Mr. Limbaugh had intended to remain in treatment. Thus, we believe the outcome for him personally will be much as if he had fought the charge and won," he said.

Hey Tex, yea Rush does come across as a arrogant blow hard, but I believe that is part of his radio personality. From what I read, I hear that he is pretty reserve and low key in his private life. I agree with alot of his views, I just ended losing alot of respect for the messenger when this little scandal came out.

Lou Dobbs broke the story on CNN, and yes he used the word "arrested".

Out of all the years I have listen to Rush, I don't recall him ever announcing on his show that he was taking time off for back surgery.

So you don't know squat about back pain either and you just felt the need to let everyone know. What a whiner.

After you lied to me about "being away from the forum for a couple of weeks" to get away from being thrashed on that abortion thread you should hang your head in shame for pinging me.

"I thought the MSM media (and it's polls) had become believable during the past few weeks."

The MSM will never become believable--not ever. They will remain as they are, a fifth column and an enemy of the United States. They are, with rare exception, traitors who manufacture the news to suit their leftist views.

The damn Florida State Attorney should pay the 30,000 for this drive-by prosecution.

Most likely, always and forever.

Yes, isn't that grand?

The only 'media' I see are the Yahoo headlines when I sign on to FR, and whatever I see there, I know it is the opposite of what I'm going to find out here.

It was a senseless political prosecution. I'm glad it's over.

This is identical to what Ronnie Earle did to Tom DeLay and the type thing the Democrats will attempt to use to impeach Bush and Cheny if they regain the House in 2006. It is an attempted coup by prosecution on phony charges and perhaps abetted by liberal judges.

They have tried to decapitate the conservative movement by eliminating its strongest players. Need any more incentive to help get out the vote in November?

And I was a prosecutor for 14 years.

May I ask a serious question? Is there NO legal watchdogging within the profession? Are there no peer review groups, no quality assurance committeees (for lack of better name), no judicial brakes that can be applied with rogue prosecutors?

The legal profession is quickly losing as much credibility as the media, IMO. I'd think there would be lawyers and judges that didn't want to see this happen.

Thanks for any comments you might have.
