Palm Beach Post - Limbaugh linked to painkillers

synthetic opiate addition tied to hearing loss? very interesting

Could be, except for the FACT that his Dr's have gone on record as saying the problem was NOT pill abuse but an autoimmune disorder. I doubt the clinic would jeopardize it's reputation by covering for an addict at a voluntary press conference. They would have simply refused to have a press conference.

I can't bring up the image. My fault, not the link I'm sure. Does the record say who Cline's lawyer was?

[novacation]

I don't think the emails will hold up. They could have been sent by anyone.Cleaning a 24 million dollar mansion for $370 a week will make any hillbilly want revenge.I think Limbaugh is going to be carefull what he says, even if he is innocent.

[FlJoePa]

No attorney mentioned. IT's a one page document that shows he pled guilty to (it looks like) illegal possession of a drivers license and title fraud.

Dumb county has his SS# on there though. Anyone want to steal HIS identity?

[ontos-on]

I think you hit it regarding that lawyer. Also, there was a post yesterday to a news article stating that that lawyer represented one of the Fla politicians who was enmeshed as a defendant for receiving money from foreign nationals [chinese, I believe] and then passed on to the Dem Senatorial campaign during the Clinton administration.

[mewzilla]

Yeah, I saw that :) Maybe in addition to the lawyer, we should be checking out his lawfirm, too. Just for giggles.

[mewzilla]

No offense to Limbaugh, but doesn't the guy do backround checks on prospective employees? And if he did have that done, he ought to ask for his money back from whomever he hired.

Even more coincidental is that the House Ear Institute, which claimed to have discovered the link between opiate use and sudden hearing loss, performed the cochlear implant on Rush to restore his hearing.

Maybe I should don my tinfoil hat, but Rush first announced his hearing loss on October 8, 2001, and the LA Slimes published their article on the link between Vicodin use and hearing loss in September, 2001 - the article that is still up on their website and not archived after one week like they usually do.

Rush had been losing his hearing for a number of months, as many of his listeners suspected from the change in his voice. Almost certainly Rush sought out the best hearing doctors he could find as soon as he knew his hearing was going. So Rush probably visited the House Institute in August, or even earlier.

It is not out of the realm of possibility that someone at the House Institute made a little call to the LA Times...

Another coincidence? See #48 above.

In Palm Beach did Maja Rushie

A stately sea side estate decree :

Where Alph, the sacred river, ran

Through caverns measureless to man

Down to a sunless sea.

So twice five miles of fertile ground

With walls and towers were girdled round :

And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,

Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree ;

And here were forests ancient as the hills,

Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.

intensify:

word coined by laudamum addict Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Nowadays a life of habitual opioid use evokes images of stupor and mindless oblivion. Yet ironically Coleridge coined the word to describe opium's effects on consciousness.

The only thing anyone can without a doubt conclude from this article is that the Clines are very bad people and they have Limbaugh in their sights.

I see no hard evidence beyond that unless they produce this alleged wire or the money from the attorney.

A civil war IS in progress. There's no shooting yet, but a genuine civil war IS going on. That is why we all follow, document and discuss the information distortion and political machinations of our common enemy - international Marxism.

[Mark17]

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

Oh yes, I agree 100% with that. I just wonder if it will ever turn hot?

The attorney also told her to hand over the computer retaining Limbaugh's e-mails, Wilma Cline said, but she took the hard drive from another computer and smashed it in front of him.

No way!

BO-GUS!

[Milligan]

Maid accomplice to identity theft? Is it hard to tamper with a Dr's prescription? Make up a story to cover her tracks and implicate Rush in their scheme?

[pnz1]

How many people are comfortable taking a hard drive out of their PC?

[madison10]

Those who have had practice. It isn't that hard, though, any novice with a screwdriver and a few wits can do it.

[HAL9000]

That makes the National Enquirer the Person from Porlock.

How many people are comfortable taking a hard drive out of their PC?

Exactly - how many would a) first know what it looks like and b) secondly be able to 'get it out' in moments to 'destroy' in front of an attorney who had just showed up and was obstensibly waiting in the living room!

THIS is too incredible a tale to be real!

Had I been 'the attorney', I would have witnessed a) the computer pulling up the e-mail followed by b) the removal of the HD and it's c) subsequent, positive, verified destruction ...
