"You can buy anything in America, just ask OJ Simpson or Rush Limbaugh..."

With all due respect (and I use that phrase rather loosely), equating a man accused of murder with a man who, from most accounts, became addicted to painkillers because of a debilitating disease is an EXTREMELY LOW stretch, even for a person of your dubious intellectual capacity (evidenced by your slanderous posts).

"He's a great American "

I agree that he is.

Bear in mind that being a patriot and a pill junkie are not incompatible.

Johnny Cash was a great American and a drug addict.

Hi dad!

[ch53gunner]

"...Rush has railed against drug users "

---

Evidence, please? Drug dealers, maybe, but users, I cannot recall this ever happening, and I have been there since the beginning...

[mrtysmm]

Who ELSE were they selling to? Seems to me there is much more to this story than being told now.

[ch53gunner]

"...It can all be traced back to the DNC. Clinton."

---

Maybe so - I might even be so inclined as to agree with you (due to their outright hatred of all things Conservative) but accusations without substantiation only give the enemy more ammo.

[ch53gunner]

"...It is always best to remain silent on pending legal matters and let an attorney speak for you."

---

Well said - as stated, Mr. Limbaugh will be forthcoming about all information pertaining to the allegations as soon as possible.

This is all not making sense....

first of all he could get pain meds from a licensed MD with no fear of exposure due to HIPPA laws.

secondly... he could go to a local "Pain Management" center and get all the pain meds he needed without fear due to his health problems.

Thirdly he could take the EIB-1 jet across any border and visit a "Health Spa" and get medications by the ton.

Fourth.... it's just too coincidental that he'd get exposed the day after the ESPN fiasco/bru-ha-ha/lynching, by a democrat DA and two drug dealers trying to cop a plea.

the "maid" could have set him up by e-mailing herself from his house since she had access to the computers in his house and may have had "help" in obtaining passwords if needed.

and finally, why would Rush drive his own car to do a drive by pick up with the risk of traffic arrest, numerous witnesses, and possible set up for robbery or blackmail.

I think this is just a wake up call for Rush who may have let his guard down and not "background" checked his employees. I'd move out and go to Naples or Sarasota, if he wanted to stay in Florida after this mess. I think he's learning that being rich can suck as much as being poor. The only good thing is that he'll see who his "true" friends are and who the ferret face weasels are......

[autoresponder]

Pain to agree with you.

Buh bye II.

The possibility of Rush being prosecuted as a result of this story is as dead as Bob Grahams presidential aspirations. No prosecutor in his right mind would put that woman on the witness stand. She sold her story to a tabloid. End of story. Any attorney would tear her to shreds. Plus her cohort in crime has a criminal record.

I can't see anything happening to Rush. They would have to have solid evidence on Rush on film plus a confession. Since he doesn't have to give testimony against himself, they can't touch him. If the Florida dept that is supposed to be looking at this really thought they had something solid they would never had gone public. The reason they piled on while Rush was getting negative press was that they had nothing on him they could arrest him for.

Remember, it's the sellers that get arrested and prosecuted not the buyers. And from other threads, the woman that has accused Rush somehow winds up with Al Gore's attorney. Hmmmmm.

"What this says to me," he told his listeners that day, "is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."

From the horses mouth. I guess he feels he should go to jail if this story is true.

Here's an interesting bit from the presecutors bio:

Krischer ……..A Brooklyn native, Mr. Krischer earned his juris doctorate in 1968 from Brooklyn Law School and graduated from Brooklyn College of the City University of New York, with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting in 1965. Mr. Krischer was an Assistant District Attorney in Kings County (Brooklyn), New York, Team. Barry Krischer is a member of the New York Bar, Colorado Bar, Palm Beach County Bar Association and of the Florida Bar.

Just remember the shenanigans that came out of this county in the 2000 election. BTW, you wouldn't happen to know of anyone in New York that would want to destroy Rush, do you?

[LinuxRocks]

"Do you honestly believe that the maid is correct in saying that Rush was taking 90 pills a day???"

For DemoRATS like you Walking Man, I suppose that the National Enquirer is a very reliable source of information. 90 pills a day. How stupid would anyone have to be to believe that? Anyone that took 90+ Oxycontin pills would be DEAD. Anyone that took half that many in a day would be dead.

[ch53gunner]

Thank you, but could you provide a link? I would like to delve into this somewhat more thoroughly on my own.

[LarryM]

You can't prosecute someone for drug possession if you don't catch them in possession of the drugs. The testimony of career criminals selling their stories to the tabloids is worthless. But as Arnold says, where there is smoke there is fire. He probably did have a pain killer addiction.

[dawn53]

I agree, the claims are purely made up. Rush is not saying any thing right now. He is waiting to see what the National Enquirer is going to publish about him.

And if the allegations are unfounded, or even unprovable, Rush might just be a richer man than he already is. Didn't Gary Condit's wife just win a huge libel suit against the National Enquirer?

[FReepaholic]

>>...Wilma Cline said she would meet Limbaugh in parking lots, passing a cigar box filled with pills through his Mercedes' window...<<

I thought she was his MAID. Why wouldn't she just bring them to his HOUSE??

[M Kehoe]

I'm trying to remember a name. Who was that i42 attorney who is on the board of the National Enquire? Is it David Kendall?

You sound jealous.

[TexasCajun]

I get the impression you are aware of facts the rest of us are not?

All I've read about this has come from the reliable National Inquirer. I'm not ready to take the Inquirer's print as gospel, so please inform us as to all the facts you can attest to. And yes, I have read TheSmokingGun, no mention of Rush.

I think I'll wait a bit and let ALL the facts become clear, before making a judgement!
