Limbaugh got a "sweetheart deal"-pre-trial disposition. If he had been some truck driver nobody ever heard of,he'd be doing time-or on intensive supervision probation.
Well,let's see if he can complete his supervision time without getting into hot water.(If not,he gets scheduled for pre-trial conference and/or trial.)
Whether you agree with him politically or not,he got the deal of a lifetime !
My father was on the board of a drug treatement center for several years. There were quite a few patients who went through treatment there under deferred ajudication agreements requiring an addict go through treatment and after care and keep off of drugs for a specified time after which charges would be dropped and the criminal record expunged. The only reason Rush was prosecuted was his fame and influence. Rush was only obtaining drugs that he had intitially been prescribed due to legitimate medical problems. He was not using bogus prescriptions as a method of obtaining drugs for resale on the black market which is really the intent of the law outlawing "doctor shopping". By your reasoning, Senator McCain's wife should have been prosecuted for getting addicted to Darvocet after her spinal surgery. I think it is crazy to prosecute people for getting addicted to drugs prescibed to treat legitimate medical conditions.
Oh. You can't be glad that someone didn't get wrongly nailed? Says more about you, than Rush.
