I hope to someday meet you in person.
Hey, PJ - pinging you to post #425 in the Limbaugh court deal thread. Looks like we may have some good material for the DUmmie FUnies about this over in the DUmpster! I'll go over there shortly to look for a thread.
That's what I was thinking .. for my money .. the prosecutors ought to pay through the nose for the SMEAR JOB - and there is a law against defamation of character.
That should be it's own thread.
I'm assuming that it means "Private Message" -- probably FReep Mail?
Sounds like pre-school.
Be careful - your ignorance is showing!
What the heck is going on? Media keeps saying he has been arrested...
Because they all read the same AP wire story...no one writes anything original!!!!!
" I took at peek at DU, they are furious..'
As is the drive by media.
Who, BTW, clearly demonstrated today that " drive by " is such an accurate description.
When we got home this evening and turned on the kitchen tv - I thought the Duke stripper had named Rush as the third attacker.
As the facts became known, no thanks to the DBM , the legal analysts were very upset.
Hard to tell if it's because Rush got such a great deal or that he's so photogenic.
(Do you know what they do to guys like that in jail? )
No, tell us all about it.
D'OH! I mean post #518. Darned bifocals.
I was turning left on Route66 in San Dimas,CA about one week after Rush came on KFI and heard "Una Paloma Blanca" and fell in love!
Rush Limbaugh Arrested On Drug Charges
(CBS) WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. Rush Limbaugh was arrested Friday on prescription drug charges, law enforcement officials said.
Limbaugh turned himself in to authorities on a warrant issued by the state attorney's office, said agency spokeswoman Teri Barbera.
The conservative radio commentator came into the jail at about 4 p.m. with his attorney Roy Black and was released an hour later on $3,000 bail, Barbera said.
The warrant was for fraud to conceal information to obtain prescription, Barbera said.
Black says his client and authorities reached a settlement on a single count charge of doctor shopping filed by the State Attorney that will be dismissed in 18 months.
Prosecutors contend that Limbaugh engaged in "doctor shopping," or illegally deceived multiple doctors to receive overlapping prescriptions.
Limbaugh maintains he's innocent. He has acknowledged he became addicted to pain medication, blaming it on severe back pain. He took a five-week leave from his radio show to enter a rehabilitation program in 2003.
"You know I have always tried to be honest with you and open about my life," Limbaugh said during a stunning admission aired nationwide. "So I need to tell you today that part of what you have heard and read is correct. I am addicted to prescription pain medication."
In 2003, Limbaugh said he started taking painkillers "some years ago" after a doctor prescribed them following a spinal surgery. His back pain stemming from the surgery persisted, so Limbaugh said he started taking pills and became hooked.
"Over the past several years I have tried to break my dependence on pain pills and, in fact, twice checked myself into medical facilities in an attempt to do so," Limbaugh said at the time. "I have recently agreed with my physician about the next steps."
I almost fell out of my chair laughing at this! This captures FR exactly. I love it!
I think this ought to be nominated as post of the year!

Hmmmm. Somebody ought to dub the MSM the "drive-by media."
Hi Rush! Have a great weekend.
Yeah, have you ever noticed that when some media outlets publish Rush's photograph, they choose one of his old "fat" pictures?
Rotflmbo! Hey now I'm the original RushCrush, don't be edging in on me ;)
And if you play it backwards you can hear Satanic messages. Of course you need a backwards playing record machine.
