You connect the dots. like Bill O'Reilly said on Fox:

O'REILLY: But, I don't even think there's going to be a correction. But what I laid out about private planes, authorities checking medicine kits, particularly of a guy like Rush Limbaugh, it very rarely happens. So I only can conclude that in Palm Beach, where Mr. Limbaugh lives, they're out to get this guy.

SUSKAUER: Let's -- let's talk about the authorities. We're not talking about Palm Beach County state attorney's office, who are the prosecutors. We're talking about Customs. And, the last that I know, Customs is the federal government. And that's who checked him.

O'REILLY: You're talking about a county where all these people know each other. It's a big clubhouse.

SUSKAUER: OK.

WEINTRAUB: A small, private airport.

. . . .

SUSKAUER: OK, well, you know what? Bill, I disagree with you because it's Customs, it's the federal government --

O'REILLY: Well, they handed it over to the Palm Beach sheriff. They handed it right to the Palm Beach sheriff. It's not a federal beef. They handed it right to them.

. . .

O'REILLY: It's more than the right to privacy. It was a malicious, cheap --

SUSKAUER: Oh, please.

WEINTRAUB: It was cheap.

O'REILLY: -- cheap, tactic by the Palm Beach authorities, and they ought to be ashamed of themselves. They really -- if I were Limbaugh, I'd move right on out of there. I'd get out of there. They're after him.

"I'd move right on out of there. I'd get out of there. They're after him. "

Well duh ... he hasen't figured that out yet ?

Rush knows the game they're playing. I heard on his radio show that he has no intentions of leaving Palm Beach.

Connect the dots ? O'Reilly seems to have glossed over the point that Customs IS Federal. It's their job to do what they did ... would you expect them to make exceptions for Rush ?

But it seems like O'Reilly expect some sort of deferential treatment for Rush - "particularly of a guy like Rush Limbaugh,"

A known ex-drug addict, flying in his private plane from a destination known as a major drug transit point, who attempts to bypass the inspections area ?



He seems upset because " Well, they handed it over to the Palm Beach sheriff "
... Well, what would you want them to do if they find prescription pills that appear to belong to someone else ?
