Meanwhile, the NATIONAL ENQUIRER is contemplating releasing on to the Internet audio tapes of Limbaugh made by his former housekeeper. The ENQUIRER carried allegations made by the housekeeper claiming Limbaugh bought prescription painkillers off the blackmarket.

The NATIONAL ENQUIRER held back reporting on Limbaugh for nearly two years, a publishing source tells the DRUDGE REPORT.

The tabloid's editors felt more confidence after police began an investigation.

[mewzilla]

Couldn't have worked, though, if Frank had kept his pants zipped.

i heard that roy black is the best criminal lawyer in FL

only the rich can afford him.

[WillowyDame]

"Now why would a racist hire an attorney named Roy Black?"

EggsAckley!!

i think rush is being whitemaled!

[EggsAckley]

LOL @ whitemaled!!

[WillowyDame]

"Rush actually sounds pretty good today considering all that has happened to him."

i was on pins and needles the whole show. i must admit that i was not that interested in the espn talk. this drug thing is so overpowering that espn saga seemed mundane.

it is very hard for rush fans not hearing what he has to say. it is almost impossible to even defend him. and people are brutal to rush. i was going to call on radio shows attacking him but i stopped because i did not even know what to say. forget AOL chats and boards; it's slaughter town!! and we just sit there and sort of take it because rush has not spoken YET!

BUT..rush has to listen to his lawyer.

when i got in legal trouble, i did not have a lawyer so i confessed and told the truth right away. i'm glad i did not have a lawyer telling me to lie.

but in rush's case, he is an important person and must be careful what he admits to and palm beach is very serious on drug crimes.

In one article, I recall reading that the maid may have begun supplying pills in 1999. Does anyone remember when Rush lost his mother? Tragic loss mixed with opportunity can make for a bad combination.

It is one thing to have someone come into your home for a day or so to do a repair and you are at home. But to have someone in your home day in and day out and not check background and/or references is very dangerous.

[anymouse]

It is posible that Mrs. Cline didn't have a criminal record when Rush hired her, but her husband did. Background checks rarely check out spouses.

[San Jacinto]

Those definitions look specious to me.

Do you mean spacious? Suspicious?

[roamincadillac]

I don't know how you or any other freepers feel about Rush now, but my opinion of him has'nt changed. He's still one of the few voices of reason in a cacophany of good for nothing pinko trash talkers and liars.

[OldFriend]

IMHO Rush owes us nothing. We listen, we agree or disagree. He rid us of John McCain's presidential candidacy. He ridiculed Ross Perot off the stage.

He is arrogant and lovable, informed and at times ignorant of the facts. He is always entertaining.........

[Howlin]

David Kendall is not the attorney for National Enquirer anymore. His law firm use to vet their stories for libel, but not anymore.

"This is looking more and more specious

Spacious? Suspicious?


How about surreal. Love S words just don't guarentee spelling.

[AmishDude]

Wasn't a maid shopping a story about Rush some time ago? Something about gold bathroom fixtures. I'm serious, I recall something like this.

[Free State Four]

Aren't they all?

Those double-wides are deceptively attractive. ~Wait~ That's my rear-end, not my trailer house! Yikes!

[Free State Four]

Curious you would post to me today. I read your thread and watched for you at 12:30 on the FOX News Channel. Are you Orlando Salinas? ....just curious....:o)

[johnfl61]

Go after Drudge next. He is a big CommieBum.

[truthkeeper]

That's it -- David Kendall. I was trying to remember yesterday the Clinton impeachment lawyer connection with the Enquirer.

Oh yeah...Kendall. Wasn't he the one who had to sit on the phone books in order to reach the microphone?

[William Terrell]

What's the affirmative step to conceal the crime?

Sitting on the story for two years, while Rush presumably continued to commit the felony.
