I want to know what happened (really) to the Florida drug charges, since I was taxed unexpectedly over the holidays by someone arguing that he had been, in fact, convicted. Which was news to me. I thought he'd been exonerated, but the liberals all gravely assured me, heads nodding, that he had been convicted and sentenced.

Rush said that he had agreed to submit to periodic, if not random, drug testing as part of an agreement that he would not be prosecuted while he stayed clean over some period of time. Consequently people who blithely assert, as some do on FR, that Rush is on drugs now are guilty of "actual malice" - libeling a public figure in disregard of the fact that the libels are known to be false. If Rush were actually using drugs illegally he would be detected and would be prosecuted.

So Rush was not found guilty of anything?

And there is no "proof" that he bought drugs/dealt/used drugs illegally?
