Rush Limbaugh Saga Comes to an End

Posted on April 28th, 2006 by Chuck

What a waste of money. The partisan Democratic Palm Beach county prosecutor has been investigating Rush Limbaugh for two and a half years of doctor shopping for OxyContin. The case first came to light in 2003 when Limbaugh’s former housekeeper reported to the National Inquirer about his problem. Afterwards Rush entered a drug rehab center to lessen his dependence on painkillers. From family experience I can say that OxyContin, Hydrocodone, Vicodin, Lortab, and Lorcet are extremely addicting and require help getting off their addiction.

During this time the prosecutor has released so much information both true and false about the investigation. He had absconded the medical records of Limbaugh under questionable circumstances, especially considering doctor-patient privilege. And now according to Fox News the two sides have finally come to an agreement. Rush pleads Not Guilty and for the next 18 months he will have to continue to see his doctor on a regular basis. If he does, the charges will be dropped. And this is the kicker, Rush has to pay back the state $30,000 to pay for the partisan investigation. Just remember, nothing was proven. In all likelihood, nothing would have ever been proven. This was pure partisanship, pure and simple.

I believe Rush was just ready to put this entire episode behind him. And that is perfectly understandable. But I am really getting tired of these partisan prosecutors using the law to take down those who disagree with them. The charges against Tom Delay by Travis County Ronnie Earl comes to mind. With all the people who really are doctor shopping, they go after the high profile case because Rush Limbaugh is a Republican.

The liberals will stop at nothing to shut up those they dislike, especially people like Rush. Only thing is Rush will still be broadcasting on the EIB microphone for years to come in spite of this partisan Democrat’s best efforts.

One thing you be sure of, the liberal press and bloggers will be all over this.
