BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: The story is from the Houston Chronicle. "Talk about your Monday from hell. Not only did Bridgett Nickerson Boyd's car break down on her way to work, but when she pulled over to the side of the freeway, a sheriff's deputy named Mark Goad pulled behind her, wrote her a ticket for driving on the shoulder, decided to arrest her, followed her to the hospital when her suddenly racing heart prompted a call to paramedics, then took her into custody again after she was treated by doctors and finally drove her to jail." Wait.
"To make matters worse, Boyd claims in a lawsuit that the handcuffs were put on her wrists painfully tight and that she was forced to listen to conservative broadcaster Rush Limbaugh "make derogatory comments about black people" all the way to the jail. Boyd is African-American. Because of the incident, which occurred on Oct. 4, 2010," and we're just now learning of this, "Boyd filed a federal lawsuit Monday against Goad and Harris County alleging defamation, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, assault and battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress." That's where I come in.
"'Deputy Goad was aware that Boyd had not committed a crime and her arrest was without probable cause,' according to the lawsuit filed in Houston. The magistrate who saw her while jailed apparently agreed and dismissed all charges. A spokesman for Sheriff Adrian Garcia declined to comment on the lawsuit." We have an audio sound bite on this. This is a montage of Houston television stations and anchors talking about the woman suing Houston police because they forced her to listen to 
me.
HURST: We haven't heard this one before. She complains a deputy forced her to listen to Rush Limbaugh. She's suing for mental anguish.
BALLEZA: Handcuffed, and forced to listen to Rush Limbaugh?
SACHSE: She was forced to listen to Rush Limbaugh, quote, "make derogatory remarks about black people through the deputy's radio on the way to jail."
CAREY: To torment her, he made her sit in the back of his patrol car listening to Rush Limbaugh.
RUSH: Now, it sounds like the way this thing got reported down there, that that was the number one offense. (laughing) Not the handcuffs. This woman doesn't know how lucky she is. What a great opportunity she had, forced to listen. Derogatory comments about black people? We don't make derogatory comments about black people. We make derogatory comments about liberals. According to her Facebook page, Bridgett Nickerson Boyd's favorite TV shows are Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow. No surprise there. (laughing) I don't know about Jerry Springer. He's not mentioned. Wouldn't doubt it though. Forced to listen. Emotional distress.

I figured they must have put 2112 in the CD player.
The point is that the “loser pays” of Texas will mean zilch in the Federal court. If one was going to bring a risky suit in Texas at all, guess where one would bring it... it would not be in a Texas court but in a Federal one....
If I were in the back of a police car with Rush OR Rush I might ask for the scenic route and a circle or two around the block as well.
Her Facebook page lists her interests as Barack Obama and Politics - and the only TV shows she likes are MSNBC’s Hardball and The Rachael Maddow Show.
Does this mean I can sue Obama. He is on TV every blasted day whining about something and it is most certainly torture.
The sequence of events here will be (1) someone reviews the show transcript, and (2) the lawsuit goes away.
Let’s make it an class action suit
OMG what a fruit cake

Good point.
Rush 24/7 has it! Archives are a great thing....
Well, that explains it. If Rush said anything that she would perceive as "negative" towards her "idol" then OF COURSE she was "tortured"! I suppose the deputies should have changed the station for her, so they could be "tortured" by her choice in radio stations.
I've glanced at the list of transcripts on that date that Rush offers and one issue Rush addressed that day was a Gallup poll about how 91% of the black population still support 0bama while 36% of the white population does so he questioned who the real racists were. Maybe that's what got her so upset that she believes she was "tortured".
I expect the tape will be subpeoned to the trial and played in court. This should be great.
Huh? did the bully deputies talk about it later to others or something?
false imprisonment,
Since the magistrate dismissed the charges-- maybe.
malicious prosecution, Whatchu' talkin' about Willis Willamina?
The magistrate didn't press any charges. You wuz re-leased.
assault and battery,
Might as well huck that one on in there. Who knows? maybe you'll get lucky, Ms. Willy, and get a mainly or all black jury!
and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
horror of horrors! (is there a transcript of the show? even an all-black jury pool might find that one pretty flimsy. it could backfire...)
Me neither. Not once in 20 years of listening to him.
That doesn’t stop them from pushing the lie, though.
From the looks of her, it should be, "Bulging Beyond Tomorrow".
bfl
She’s hoping for another OJ jury...
Good photo catch, NNN. I’d love to see her mugshot juxtaposed next to her “glamour” photo.
