Just this week a relative who is a lawyer had a charge come through on a credit card which was not his. A quick investigation revealed that a secretary in the dentist's office had stolen the number and made the $300+ charge. She had already been in trouble with the law for drug trafficking and had a $10,000 credit card fraud case pending against her. The question one has to ask is "Why did the dentist not do a thorough background check before hiring this person?" This woman will undoubtedly go to jail and, in the aftermath of this experience, I have to wonder about the Rush accusers. You cannot trust anything said by drug traffickers, criminals who skip bond, fugitives from the law, people who are convicted and sentenced to prison for five years, charged with identity theft, etc., etc. These people are sociopaths..They have no conscience and will do anything. I think it is possible this whole thing is going to blow up in the face of the media because last evening, when a clip was played of Rush saying what he said on ESPN, my husband and I looked at one another with the same thought..The honest average American of any race, is going to view that and is going to say, "What is all the fuss about?" And then that same person is going to get upset as he/she thinks that we live in a society which will fire you and persecute you for giving an honest opinion if it is one they do not agree with. Rush's experience here may do more to demonstrate to America the ugliness of political correctness than anything which has come along to this point. And, the good people of all races should rant and rave against it because they do not deserve to be used in dirty political agendas

The leftist media would probably have to be considered a strategic target of high importance it would seem.

gggrrrrr... I think if a new civil war starts, the media should be a big target

Don't you mean when, not if?

The Clines sued Bradshaw for $75,000, but Circuit Judge Jorge Labarga ruled against them in January 2001.

One suit doesn't work so they concoct a story to sell instead? Hey, after watching the People's Court, I've decided there is a whole class of people who have figured out how to scam their way through life with the "justice" system's help. *wink*

It's in the newspapers all of the time. There's an entire breed, now, that scam sues everyone for everything, at the drop of a hat.

Yeah, Rush looks and sounds just like a drug addict to me.

I mean, with 5 3-hour broadcasts a day, travel all over the USA, excellent golf and all that, I can definately imagine him sitting there slack-eyed drooling into the EIB golden microphone popping a drug which metabolically is on par with herion. Yup, I can just see it. Hey, there's really a potential to expand on his core audience now...

"Watchu doin' mon, don' change the station...dat's RUSH!"

This whole thing sounds like such a load of BS. I guess we'll have to wait and see what the "mysterious evidence" turns out to be. Personally, I suggest it's a "Vast Left Wing Conspiracy" at work. Lock and load...

He probably asked to borrow two pills because he needed to refill his prescription... and then sent her to pick it up...

I wouldn't be surprised if she decided to make up the rest of this story to try and get some extra income...

getting addicted to prescription drugs is EZ and the doctor is usually at least partly to blame...

This is going to be seen for what it is, a "shakedown" artist in action, with a guy who was in a lot of pain from critical surgery...

or similar.

I agree that there is a lot that stinks, but we should wait until the whole story comes out. If it turns out that Rush is addicted to painkillers to the point of going to illegalities to get them, then conservatives need to see that a) he gets treatment, and b) he pays the legal price.

He'll rebound, but conservatives need to stick to principles.

I am actually worried that Rush might turn out to be human (we all make mistakes) on this one. After all is said and done, he has not denied purchasing painkillers illegally, just that he would co-operate.

This is a Democrat's dream come true.

The media know either they or Rush have to go. Their ratings keep going down, and his keep going up. If they want to survive, he has to be dealt with.

I wonder how long ago this attack was cooked up. Did you know that the LA Times published (they may have sponsored it) "research" on hearing loss among vicodin/oxycontin users in October 2001. For some reason, this old article is still on their website, not archived.

There is, I think, the American Cold Civil War already in progress.

I think the email thing will be the key. My bet is this woman, while working for Rush, got onto his computer and send herself some emails as part of the scheme to bolster her future claims. The thing which will shoot this down is that Rush will have emails dated at times when he was nowhere near his computer (e.g. giving a speech, on an airplane, on the air, etc.

hmm, one of the charges was identity theft. stealing Rush's online identity, perhaps, to build a nice little blackmail scheme?
