"Basically, RUSH WON."

I really want to believe that, but I think the next couple of months will be bumpy while he wades through all of the media spin on this. I have to wonder why he did this on a Friday afternoon. And I didn't hear him mention it at all today on his show.

You cannot possibly believe Rush wants this to go to trial, do you?

You cannot possibly believe the prosecutor would not be salivating at the chance to hobble Rush with a show trial if he had the slightest evidence of anything wrong, do you? What does Rush have to do? Continue going to his personal doctor? Not commit a crime for 6 months? I consider those as normal and sane activities.

I agree they surely misused the law; it's the courts gone wild again.

Trust me, I will leave her alone from now on.

Good plan. You know the old saying about wrestling a pig: you just get dirty, and the pig enjoys it.

$30K is pocket change to Rush Limbaugh.

It is very confusing that the press shouts "Rush arrested"...when it's simply a closure on years' long investigation by a special investigator.

Weird process.

Listen Rush...we're going to drop charges if you come in today at 4PM...let us arrest you...you post a small bond...agree to a few minor details and we'll dismiss everything.

???

Yes, I believed your post to be rude, perhaps your tone could use a little polishing.

BTW, by most forum standards, whenever you resort to snide innuendo about another poster you have not only lost the argument but are being rude.

No worries. Rush will make a statement to his listeners....and move on.

The only ones needing hip boots to "wade" through this will be the media. They'll once again be one step behind and to the left of the people.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone tries to concoct a "crime" from CFR laws, given that we're having the biggest mid-term election in decades in 7 months.

To be precise, it was some attorney whose name I did not catch, calling in from Florida who said that. It was in the rerun of his show -- he broke in live.

"Who knew this would be such a divisive thread?"

One of the great things about FR is the spectacle of a group of intelligent, eloquent folks united by basic conservatism knocking the snotbubbles out of each other over fairly trivial issues.

I love freedom, it's fun!

He didn't lie. He made a statement and asked you if he was right or wrong. The answer should have been No, you're wrong. I like Rush.

I wouldn't mention it either.

This way, he is arrested, bonded out, released before all the lame stream media shows up to take pictures of him coming and going.

Instead all they have is his mugshot smiling as he does.

What is most surprising to me is that the DA's offcie in this matter didn't leak it to the press beforehand.

That is amazing, if you think about it.

This is ok. Besides, we need him to help lead a bigger fight looming on the horizon. He'd probably agree.

Because it has lowered the quality of political debate in this country.

I think you are dead wrong. The only political debate prior to talk radio was absolutely one-sided. All "facts" were controlled by the MSM and any dissent was virtually killed by the "fairness doctrine."

The rise of talk radio has hurt the left more than anything, and the left has actually degraded the quality of political debate as you say. They are the ones that cannot respond to the truth when it is presented by people like Rush.

Can you imagine raising a million for leukemia and than meeting your lawyer and going through this bs at the PD? All in a day's work, I guess.
