Forget that it's Rush. This whole thing is just stupid. Sure.........let's go waste time and public resources looking for a crime that wasn't really there. Yep. Sure as hell aren't enough real bad guys around. Nosirree..........let's harrass a guy that was hooked on LEGAL pain killers. His real problem.........he's a rich Conservative who has pissed off too many liberals. If he wasn't, none of this would be happening. It's that simple, and any here who deny it are liars.

You know a good test for whether this is really news worthy or just a political put-up job is to pretend some non-political celebrity was caught doing this - Is it news?

If Tiger Woods was doing what Rush was doing wrt money withdrawals, would it be an issue?

You can also check your own biases that way. (eg. next time a Democrat is accused of something, consider if was a Republican. would think it a big deal? When I realized that any CEO or Republican officeholder would be fired for what Clinton did in 1998, it convinced me impeachment and removal was *not* extreme for that particular case.)
