[history]
December 24, 2003 -- Rush Limbaugh tore into Florida prosecutors on his radio show yesterday - suggesting they're part of an evil Democratic plot to defeat him "in the court of public opinion." The top-rated conservative talker, furious a judge is letting prosecutors examine his medical records for evidence of "doctor shopping," accused them of smearing his name through unsubstantiated leaks to the media.

Thanks, that's a little more than I wanted to spend. Pretty much looking for something for a pump sprayer. : )

Well it sure doesn't sound like Rush did anything "wronger" than what he's already fessed up to. Did he get overlapping prescriptions written from doctors for opiates -- the only substantial legal question? IMHO that vein will come up totally and utterly dry, either he really didn't do that or all proof has been destroyed. Why haven't the witch hunters subpoenaed all Florida pharmacies for things under Rush's name? That would tell more than the doctors' records would. IMHO.
To: HiTech RedNeck
Denial, in the sense, that he is responsible for his own problems with the law.
Democrats didn't make him break the law or buy drugs illegally.
That's what I meant by denial.

His breaking the law doesn't excuse his persecutors [sic] doing the same.
To: R. Scott
Pretty funny watching him play the victim card after all the ranting he's done against the practice the last decade. We've had neocon hacks on the tube telling us there's no "right to privacy" in the Constitution for about 2 years, wasn't he listening?

I thought they did go to the pharmacies and that's how they got the names of the doctors that were doing the prescribing. ???
To: Raleigh's Golden Mountaineer
So going to the physicians would be superfluous, if the records showed overlapping prescriptions. (Which apparently they DIDN'T, displeasing the witch hunters no end.)

We've had neocon hacks on the tube telling us there's no "right to privacy" in the Constitution for about 2 years, wasn't he listening? Many times Rush himself chastised abortionists for using such an argument.
To: dawn53
Gee, you'll reach up your *** clean up to the elbow to keep from admitting you mis-spoke, won't ya? Which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't written instead.

Oh, and by the way "blames woe on foes" is the line of the headline writer, not Rush. Rush did not blame his habit or the purchase of pills from his maid on the loons baying after him. He did blame the loons for the leaks and for other apparently illegal and unethical conduct. Rush is not to blame for overzealousness in the name of the Idiot State.
To: polorican
When has he ever waited for actual evidence to persecute someone on the airwaves?Could you be a little more specific please?
To: HiTech RedNeck; dawn53
She's using the term "denial" like a democrat uses the term "fascist."

If you'll read the quote I posted with my message, you'll notice it concerned the blame being placed on DEMOCRATS.
Also, my reference to the VLWC,
She didn't blame the right for her husband's sexual adventures, she blamed them for making a big deal of it.
Same thing is happening here.
IMHO, it's a smokescreen to take the "heat" off Rush.
He's screaming it's "political" just like the Dems do when they've broken the law. And I hate that!!!!

Know what? Given Florida's overall reputation I have little reason to doubt Rush that this is overzealousness pushing the law to the breaking point and then some. Quite granted that Republicans can be nearly as looney, as in the pointed nonattention given to Terri Schiavo's plight by those officials and judges who, in any NORMAL state of the Union, would be practically towering with outrage.
To: Woahhs
No he wasn't...mostly because he lives in Florida where the right to privacy is in the state constitution.Could you quote me the section that says "right to privacy" takes precedent over investigations into drug law violation?

The difference is his lawyer is right, and you are wrong. Try reading "Treason" by Ann Coulter for a good primer on how the democratic party does business.
Much as you'd like to make this both sides playing the same game, with yourself above the fray, such a position only show an inability to distinguish insight from propaganda.

If you would be saying the same thing if they were investigating drug allegations against James Carville or Terry McAuliffe, then I could go along with your "overzealous" sentiment?
But then, only you know the answer to that.

Subpoena several thousand pharmacies? Subpoenaing a dozen doctors would be far more effective and quicker. The medical records would show the extent of his actual need and the amount he was prescribed. Having the doctors number would then make it far easier to check with the pharmacies for actual prescriptions filled.
Doctor Shopping isnt just the attempt to find a second opinion or a better doctor. It is the search for a doctor willing to prescribe an excessive amount of medication, and the attempt to obtain multiple prescriptions for the same disorder simultaneously. It has been used by junkies for years.
