[Newbomb Turk]

William Bennet says he'll bet any amount of money that Rush is innocent....

[OUHOMER]

56k??!?!?

and that was post 666 for you. :eek:


I am glad i got over that hump

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Yes, I just heard it on radio. This will be interesting to follow.

[mdklatt]

Yes, I just heard it on radio. This will be interesting to follow.

Is this related to his earlier problems or is he still as high as Lindsey Lohman?

[walkoffsooner]

you could tell he was on dope 15 years ago.talking out of his head about good times and s---.

[SOONER44EVER]

apparently he's brilliant though
Heh!

[Okla-homey]

30K restitution and the charges will be dropped? Sounds like a suh-weet deal to me, especially given Limbaugh's worth bazillion$.

It's really analogous you or me having to pay 5 bucks to avoid prosecution of a felony offense.

[OUHOMER]

News said he was spending $10,000.00 a WEEK, and doctor shopping....
he aint got nothn on crack heads

[Okla-homey]

I don't think he's on the stuff anymore. Anyway, 10K a week is nothing for that dude. He lights his cigars wid Benjamins.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Is this related to his earlier problems or is he still as high as Lindsey Lohman?As I understand it , it's about the earlier charges of "doctor shopping". A couple or three years ago, he went to a rehab center out here in AZ, and supposedly has been drug free since then.

[SicEmBaylor]

But how many people are actually prosecuted in Florida for doctor shopping?
I think when all of this started I heard that only like 1 other guy in 10 years has been prosecuted for this.

[Jerk]

At least he didn't get high, run his car off a bridge with his secretary in it, and let her drown while he saved himself.

OH, and get away with it scott-free, no charges.

[Okla-homey]

Yeah, but it comes with a curse. Sometimes I don't know when to stop.

Did you know that the impact of Ted Kennedy's car hitting the water was so violent that it knocked mary jo's bra completely off, flying in the air and into the glove compartment, with the door shutting itself behind it?

[85Sooner]

As far as I can tell. The charge was not revealing to a doctor that he already had been prescribed that medication by another Dr.

BS charge if you ask me. They just wanted to embarrass him. Nothing new for state officials in florida.

[Half a Hundred]

William, your posts make life imitate art. Everytime you say something, I become like the working dude in the movie Office Space:

"F'kn A man"Mucho thanks. I just saw the Hannity and Colmes report on the "arrest". It was, indeed, a continuation of the earlier charge of doctor shopping. All parties to the discussion, including the liberal Alan Colmes, and the "moderate" attorney Napolitano, agreed it was a legal injustice, and a political hatchet job. (IMO, a la Tom DeLay/Ronnie Earl type stuff. The big difference is that limbaugh didn't have to resign anything due to party rules like DeLay did; nor does he have to fight a smear job in an upcoming election)

[soonercody]

Wow. Just wow.

[Jerk]

Yep. I think they want to make it illegal to be a conservative.

I like Rush. Alot of what he says just seems to be common sense. I think alot of people don't "get" his style of humor, or sometimes they overlook his point. For instance, you see alot of libs say that Rush supports tobacco. No, if you listen, he just says that if tobacco is so bad, then why don't they just ban it? Of course they won't, because the politicians love the tax revenue too much. IF TOBACCO is so eviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil, then BAN IT!

Also, I've never seen Rush act like a preacher and condemn people to Hell. Usually his comments revolve around something very stupid that the libtards are doing - and there is plenty of material. It's an entertainment show.

[Jerk]

Wow. Just wow.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think its rather notable that Ted has come out against the windmill farm proposed to be built on Martha's Vineyard because of the fact it would ruin the Kennedy compound aesthetics.

Seashore windmills = cheap, green electricity.

Seems like a grand poobah lib senator would be all about that sort of thing. Just goes to show, "do as they say, not as they do."

Then goes about howling like a dog in pain about how certain things are baaaad things, then goes through partaking in those activities that he tells his oh so avid listening crowd they should never ever do.....(have a drug habit, marry 2 women you meet online..and to make it worse through AOL).

This is not the truth.

The project you are speaking of is meant to put the windmills offshore, in Nantucket Sound.

Environmentalists are against this project because it is feared that the windmills (which would have to be placed on piers driven into the seabed) would damage the fragile marine ecosystem, thusly endangering several indigenous species and polluting the ocean water as well. (Windmills need to be oiled, and they leak)

Critics of this position say that this is a convenient argument that the local (predominantly liberal) constituency use to mask their NIMBYism, which may be true. But in the final analysis, the damage to the marine ecosystem of Nantucket Sound is too big a risk to take for the marginal benefit an offshore wind farm would produce.

There are also concerns that the local fishing industry could be negatively affected by this project as well. You can read more about the opposition to this project here:

http://www.saveoursound.org/

The marine environment is something that should not be ****ed with, and even if you believe Ted Kennedy to be despicable, (You'll get no argument from me on that point) he is right on target opposing this project.



In the interest of fairness, I'll post a link to the Cape Wind project website as well.

Check out his show as much as you can for a couple of weeks(I don't know if you're able to listen to him much, but if your work allows it), and you'll get a better idea of how sharp, and NOT hypocritical, he is.

Scott, on this board, anyone who dares criticize the illustrious W or his cronies or is against any agenda or individual perceived as conservative is branded with the L word. Many cannot see beyond black/white and understand many shades of gray exist. Typically the response involves not defending the perceived conservative policy or person, but rather attacking the poster - "You bleeping liberals. . . ." and then attacking the imputed L group's alternative, whether you bring it up or not - "you liberals would just make it worse . . . ." and then end with moral references to Ted Kennedy or Bill Clinton, regardless of the relevance to the subject matter.

IT IS BLACK AND WHITE AND IT'S REAL SIMPLE

You make Nanci Palosi Speaker of the House and Hillary Clinton the President you will f*** up this country beyond your wildest dreams. Want change? Vote out the incumbant republicans in their primaries and send fresh blood to Washington. Giving power to total leftist loonbats like Cynthia McKinney will be THE END of this country as we know it. I see alot of intellectual know-it-alls do nothing but criticise Bush but no one talks about the total a$$ f*cking we are in for if dims take over. COMMUNISM DOESN'T WORK. They won't come out and admit that they are a bunch of gawdamned socialists, but anyone with an IQ above 50 can see that they are. Their whole agenda revolves around ****ing hard working people and transfering wealth to the people who vote for them, protecting big government and screwing free enterprise, partial birth abortion, gun control, affirmative action, etc etc etc. God I hope some states have the balls to secede if Hillary becomes Prez.

I disagree with that. I stopped trusting Bush right around Katrina. There was that, there was Harriet Myers, then the ports sale. All this was was on top of the runaway deficit and the immigration bullcrap. I stopped thinking "He's gonna pull out of it" and began silently saying "He's got to go."

I'm as far from a liberal as you'll find. Bush is not governing like a Conservative. He's got a problem with common sense judgement, too. Oh, and his calls for investigation into the oil companies? Puh-leeze.

Say what you will, the fact is while we are rebuilding schools and infrastructure in Iraq, we still have people on the MS Gulf Coast living in tents.

If the Dems get a majority in Congress this year, he'll be impeached early in 2007. Most people are going to sit by and watch it happen.

However, you should have a replacement that is better than who you impeach. Probably Cheney would be no worse, but the disruption, coupled with the loss of confidence and respect for America as a world leader could be catastrophic...ie don't vote dim.

Yeah, like she's the only one I've mentioned. Have you heard of nancy palosi? I do think she has some influence in your party, being that she'll be the speaker of the house if the libtards win this fall. What a freak. By the time she's done, the stars on the American flag will be replaced by the sickle and hammer.

The ignorance in this thread is unreal. Bush gets the sole blame for Katrina? Come on. They had a state and local government down there that was as corrupt and incompetent as you'll find in the 50 states. The destruction was so vast that it wiped out the area the size of Oklahoma. People are so used to quick results these days, but to expect everything to be put back in order immediately is absurd. ESPECIALLY WHEN A HURRICANE HITS A WELFARE STATE It turns out much of the reporting about the atrocities in the super dome were false- reported by the news media from rumors. Look at Mississippi - you never heard any of the same kind of problems over there - the difference is night and day. Why? They had good local leadership. Remember 9-11? They did a fantastic job recovering. Why? Because Rudi Gulliani is no Nagan. Think about it. It's common sense.

In hindsight, Iraq might not have been the best option. But do you really believe they never had WMD? Clinton said they did back in the 90's. The UN did. The British did. I don't blame Bush one bit for mistakenly believing that they did and acting upon it. The democrats in congress authored a resolution supporting the war before it began. Then we go there and it turns out to be alot tougher than we thought it would be - so guess what? Democrats flip flop and say "hey, we can use this body count for us" because they'll do anything to get back in power. We're there, we might as well finish the job and fight AQ over there, and not here. The more jihadists we kill, the better. Many people still don't realize that we are at war. Maybe after an American city goes up in smoke they will wake up.

Then we got oil prices- and Bush gets the blame, although he cant control it. China and India consume six times more oil than they did 10 years ago. That is a serious shift in supply and demand. We can't build refinaries. Whose fault is that? Tree huggers. We can't drill off the Florida coast. Whose fault is that? Tree huggers. We can't drill in ANWAR. Whose fault is that? Tree huggers. We can't build a nuclear plant anywhere. Whose fault is that? Tree huggers. D*mned hypocrites. If they were honest, they'd ride bicycles every where...but they prefer limos.

And what about the economy? It's really good. Low unemployment and very good consumer confidence. But Bush can't get credit for that BECAUSE HE'S NOT A DEMOCRAT. PERIOD.

If Hillary gets elected, I think this nation will split into two again - not like a civil war or anything, but there will be two very different Americas.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

I'm far from convinced that Iraq is a mistake. I know that the dims are doing everything they can to prevent us from winning the war. Their smear campaign is aiding and giving energy to the jihadists, and no doubt, prolonging the war and costing more American lives.

1) The country is already split in two.
2) I'm no Bush supporter by a long shot and even I don't blame him
for gas prices or Hurricanes although I have a hard time finding
much that he hasn't fu**ed up.
3) I also don't give him credit for the current economy
4) I never want to see another single party take control of everything again
5) I hope the Dems can find someone more electable than Hillary
6) I listen to Rush occasionally, but I can't stand him. I think he started
around the early '90s or so when GHWB was in office
7) Psssst. The Cold War is over. We won.

7) Psssst. The Cold War is over. We won.

1) And it's only going to get worse.
3) Really? His tax cuts have nothing to do with it?
4) not a bad point. Maybe they'll get nothing done, which is good. We alraedy have enough laws.
7) Yeah, no kidding...because we're capitalists, and socialism doesn't work. But some people still haven't learned this.

[Scott D]

Isn't the important thing to vote for the best, or the least damaging candidate?

If people did that then the Democratic and Republican parties would no longer exist...and THAT my friend would be a great thing.

[Scott D]

IT IS BLACK AND WHITE AND IT'S REAL SIMPLE

You make Nanci Palosi Speaker of the House and Hillary Clinton the President you will f*** up this country beyond your wildest dreams. Want change? Vote out the incumbant republicans in their primaries and send fresh blood to Washington. Giving power to total leftist loonbats like Cynthia McKinney will be THE END of this country as we know it. I see alot of intellectual know-it-alls do nothing but criticise Bush but no one talks about the total a$$ f*cking we are in for if dims take over. COMMUNISM DOESN'T WORK. They won't come out and admit that they are a bunch of gawdamned socialists, but anyone with an IQ above 50 can see that they are. Their whole agenda revolves around ****ing hard working people and transfering wealth to the people who vote for them, protecting big government and screwing free enterprise, partial birth abortion, gun control, affirmative action, etc etc etc. God I hope some states have the balls to secede if Hillary becomes Prez.

one day you will understand that the point of being a modern politician is to be "****ing everyone who didn't vote for them to make sure they can slide wealth over to people who did vote for them."

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

5) I hope the Dems can find someone more electable than Hillary
6) I listen to Rush occasionally, but I can't stand him. I think he started
around the early '90s or so when GHWB was in office
You don't really think the dims have anybody with a lick of sense who would run, do you?(who do you propose to be DIMPOTUS? Not just somebody "electable", but somebody with a shread of common sense(not a freakin' socialist)
Limbaugh started his show on a national basis in the late '80's sometime.

[Jerk]

[soonerhubs]

Well, I just don't get into politics like I used to. I just don't care as much.

[sooneron]

Yeah, like she's the only one I've mentioned. Have you heard of nancy palosi? I do think she has some influence in your party, being that she'll be the speaker of the house if the libtards win this fall. What a freak. By the time she's done, the stars on the American flag will be replaced by the sickle and hammer.

The ignorance in this thread is unreal. Bush gets the sole blame for Katrina? Come on. They had a state and local government down there that was as corrupt and incompetent as you'll find in the 50 states. The destruction was so vast that it wiped out the area the size of Oklahoma. People are so used to quick results these days, but to expect everything to be put back in order immediately is absurd. ESPECIALLY WHEN A HURRICANE HITS A WELFARE STATE It turns out much of the reporting about the atrocities in the super dome were false- reported by the news media from rumors. Look at Mississippi - you never heard any of the same kind of problems over there - the difference is night and day. Why? They had good local leadership. Remember 9-11? They did a fantastic job recovering. Why? Because Rudi Gulliani is no Nagan. Think about it. It's common sense.
Duh! Seeing as how I was actually a citizen of NYC and voted for Rudy


In hindsight, Iraq might not have been the best option.

Ya think?


But do you really believe they never had WMD? Clinton said they did back in the 90's. The UN did. The British did. I don't blame Bush one bit for mistakenly believing that they did and acting upon it. The democrats in congress authored a resolution supporting the war before it began. Then we go there and it turns out to be alot tougher than we thought it would be - so guess what? Democrats flip flop and say "hey, we can use this body count for us" because they'll do anything to get back in power.
You're reaching here. They started going the other direction as more info started leaking about how some intel was twisted to fit the bush agenda.


We're there, we might as well finish the job and fight AQ over there, and not here. The more jihadists we kill, the better. Many people still don't realize that we are at war. Maybe after an American city goes up in smoke they will wake up.

You don't have to tell me that- I see armed soldiers practically every day in Penn Station- That's in New York in case you didn't know.


Then we got oil prices- and Bush gets the blame, although he cant control it. China and India consume six times more oil than they did 10 years ago. That is a serious shift in supply and demand. We can't build refinaries. Whose fault is that? Tree huggers. We can't drill off the Florida coast. Whose fault is that? Tree huggers. We can't drill in ANWAR. Whose fault is that? Tree huggers. We can't build a nuclear plant anywhere. Whose fault is that? Tree huggers. D*mned hypocrites. If they were honest, they'd ride bicycles every where...but they prefer limos.
First of all, the people are hating on bush b/c big oil is what got him where he is. Regardless, of him not being able to find any oil in TX! Americans are ****ed at the oil companies right now and W is the ditzy blond debutante who's daddy has the most wells.
The fact is, tree huggers were actually dumb enough to believe that the energy companies would get serious about finding alternative energy sources that are clean and cheap instead of sticking to what they know- one thing and keeping the bottom line intact for the board members.


And what about the economy? It's really good. Low unemployment and very good consumer confidence. But Bush can't get credit for that BECAUSE HE'S NOT A DEMOCRAT. PERIOD.

The economy is isn't as strong as many would think - this is due to Americans being addicted to credit and interest only loans. Bad combination right there. No one really gave Bill credit when the economy was good back in 98-00, it cuts both ways. Most credited Greenspan.


If Hillary gets elected, I think this nation will split into two again - not like a civil war or anything, but there will be two very different Americas.
This country is split in two. Both parties are to blame for it. Of course, jackasses calling names don't help- dims and libtards comes to mind. With nazi name calling coming from the left.

[OklahomaTuba]

:rolleyes:

[Jimminy Crimson]

I have nothing to add

[Jerk]

Ron, I woke up this morning and discovered that my 'give a sh*t' machine is broken.

[sooneron]

:rolleyes:

Facts and you really don't get along.


The U.S. economy staged an impressive comeback during the first three months of the year, according to new figures released by the Commerce Department. The agency reports the economy grew at an annual rate of 4.8 percent in the first quarter -- more than twice as fast as it grew in the previous quarter.

The strong growth occurred despite the rise in energy prices. But some economists caution that the numbers are something of an aberration.

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5369762

I realize gray areas are tough for you of all people to understand- see, some economists agree that it's stronger, but not as strong as it would seem.

[Scott D]

:rolleyes:

I want to see you come up here and tell people the economy is just fine....you'd be lucky to live 10 minutes afterwards...and I'm talking the suburbs, not even Detroit.

Oh and any viewing of national unemployment is a bs smokescreen....if the media and the white house would ever view it on a state by state breakdown you'd see some ridiculously slanted numbers in a lot of states.

No wonder its going out of business.

I'd say thats MUCH worse than anything Rush did, but maybe thats just me.

[Scott D]

It's fine down here. What's going on in Michigan?

Unemployment in the state is on the rise actually. And unlike what your initial thoughts would be, it's not union related. Small businesses have been shutting down pretty much left and right. My company has been downsizing nationwide. Michigan is a very business unfriendly territory right now, and it's become the centerpiece of the Gubernatorial race this year. Not that the incumbent will win anything except perhaps the Detroit vote (no she isn't black). The economy here is pretty much **** poor, housing is such a buyers market it's ridiculous.

The economy is doing well.

What is the unemployment rate? 4.8%?

GDP grew at +4%!

Housing is STILL booming.

Even the most head-in-the-sand people can see its doing well. Sorry if you cannot.

[sooneron]

And to Jerk's comment on consumer confidence-

In particular, one sector that is showing signs of softening is the residential housing market. Both new and existing home sales have dropped back, on net, from their peaks of last summer and early fall. And, while unusually mild weather gave a lift to new housing starts earlier this year, the reading for March points to a slowing in the pace of homebuilding as well. House prices, which have increased rapidly during the past several years, appear to be in the process of decelerating, which will imply slower additions to household wealth and, thereby, less impetus to consumer spending.

[Jerk]

you know what ****es me off more than anything else about blue state dems? It's when they vote for the local dems in their home blue state and after many years the place becomes too unfriendly to business and free enterprise- high taxes, too much regulation, etc. Then these same people wake up years later and say "we need to move because the economy here sucks" and go to some place else, like a red state such as florida, which is much more friendly to economic growth, and then they have the audacity to want to make that place as bad as the one they came from.

Lots of wealthy white Californians are fleeing that state, after years of doing their best to create policies leading to its destruction. They go to Arizona or Idaho- and of course they vote the same. Please don't f*** up your new red-state home! There is a reason it's not the wreck you moved from!

[OklahomaTuba]

[Jerk]

That is a lie or just stupidity on your part as evidenced by my quote of the Fed Reserve Chairman's.

In the real world, where we actually, you know, build houses and stuff, we can't keep up with the demand for cement right now in central Oklahoma. In fact, our company is on allocation from our supplier in Tulsa. If it gets worse, we may go to a four day work week. DAMN YOU, BUSHY! THEY'RE BUILDING SO MANY HOUSES THAT WE CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THE MATERIALS!

BTW- Your comment about the oil companies was the dumbest thing I've ever read on this forum. I guess my give a sh*t machine is working now. There are no alternative fuels right now that can take the place of oil. We can do things that would help keep the supply up and the price down, but as I've said your side won't let it happen. You want to get rich, Ron? Come up with the alternative. That alone tells me there is no viable alternative right now because whoever comes up with one would be a trillionaire.

[King Crimson]

our economy is so strong Bush is practically begging the Chinese for more trade last week.

[Scott D]

I doubt it's the 'rest of the country'. Any time you look at national numbers it needs to be taken with a grain of salt, because they are misleading. That's pretty much all I've been saying about that.

I rescind what I said earlier as it was the heat of battle, an accord has been reached.

Still, just looked up and unemployment for Mich is about 6.7%.

With the American car industry slowly falling apart at the seams, the fact that it isn't 10-20% is amazing.

If there is an alternative energy source to be found, it will be found, because someone will make more money than God by discovering it. Too bad they haven't found it, yet.

I really don't think anyone is going to seriously go after alt. energy until you can get corp.s out of politician's pockets. Which will never happen. The only way it will happen is when it's practically too late. I'm not saying full tappage on the reserves, but things will be looking pretty grim.

predictable as always. you fail to see the point, by gutting the DOE budget Saint Ronnie eliminates the possibility for the development of ANY non-petroleum energy source. over 20 years ago. you, Tuba, yourself, have posted on this board about the necessity for developing such an energy source to relieve the US of it's dependence on Middle East oil....and the current disasterous conflicts we are involved in there. no?

[OklahomaTuba]

As much as I bag on OK, we've done well attracting new business here even with the big manufacturing going away (GM, TIRE, CITGO).

You are correct that the national numbers don't tell the whole story, but given everything thats happened since 2001, and the war and the price of oil being what it is, the fact that nationally we 95% employment and a booming national economy is amazing.

Yes, I do agree that we need to develop Alt Energy. Has the Government done enough? Of course not. Ethanol should be running in each car right now, not 10 years from now.

But, predictable as always, you are blaming a conservative for there not being alternative energy.

Well, thats great and all, except that up until 1994, who controlled congress? It wasn't the GOP in case you are wondering. And why didn't Clinton invest in alternative technology? He really didn't.

Holy smoke. What a bad man he is!! Glad the State's Attorney didn't have other crime to worry about in the great state of Florida!


Prosecutors accused him of illegally deceiving multiple doctors to receive overlapping prescriptions, a practice known as doctor shopping. After seizing his medical records, authorities learned Limbaugh received up to 2,000 painkillers, prescribed by four doctors in six months.

However, the single charge only alleges that Limbaugh illegally obtained about 40 pills, said Mike Edmondson, a state attorney's spokesman. He would not elaborate or explain why prosecutors scaled back the case. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/05/01/D8HB3LC05.html

Settlement Agreement Ends State Investigation of Rush Limbaugh

April 28, 2006


Palm Beach, FL – April 28, 2006 – In response to media and other inquiries, Roy Black, Rush Limbaugh's attorney, released the following statement today concerning a settlement agreement with the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office to end the investigation of Mr. Limbaugh:

"I am pleased to announce that the State Attorney's Office and Mr. Limbaugh have reached an agreement whereby a single count charge of doctor shopping filed today by the State Attorney will be dismissed in 18 months. As a primary condition of the dismissal, Mr. Limbaugh must continue to seek treatment from the doctor he has seen for the past two and one half years. This is the same doctor under whose care Mr. Limbaugh has remained free of his addiction without relapse.

"Mr. Limbaugh and I have maintained from the start that there was no doctor shopping, and we continue to hold this position. Accordingly, we filed today with the Court a plea of 'Not Guilty' to the charge filed by the State.

"As part of this agreement, Mr. Limbaugh also has agreed to make a $30,000 payment to the State of Florida to defray the public cost of the investigation. The agreement also provides that he must refrain from violating the law during this 18 months, must pay $30 per month for the cost of "supervision" and comply with other similar provisions of the agreement.
"Mr. Limbaugh had intended to remain in treatment. Thus, we believe the outcome for him personally will be much as if he had fought the charge and won."

The actions taken today are as follows:

• The State Attorney has filed a single charge of doctor shopping with the Court. The charge is being held in abeyance under the terms of an agreement between the State and Mr. Limbaugh.

• Mr. Limbaugh has filed a plea of "Not Guilty" with the Court.

The formal agreement between Mr. Limbaugh and the State Attorney will be filed with the Court on Monday. The terms of the agreement are substantively as follows:

• Mr. Limbaugh will continue in treatment with the doctor he has seen for the past two and one half years.

• After Mr. Limbaugh completes an additional 18 months of treatment, the State Attorney has agreed to drop the charge.

• Mr. Limbaugh has agreed to make a $30,000 payment to the State of Florida to defray the public cost of the investigation.

It's Over: The Operative Words are "Not Guilty"

May 1, 2006

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Before we get into the news of the day, let me take a stab at explaining what happened on Friday since I'm the one that did everything and I'm the one that was involved, and so I know what happened. The sum total of all of this is the case is over, and the operative words that everybody needs to understand here are "not guilty." Not guilty. On Friday I went over to the Palm Beach County Jail in the first step of a process to end this two-year, seven-month investigation of me by the Palm Beach State Attorney's Office. It is now officially at an end. Now, I have maintained from the start of this, folks, that there was no doctor shopping.

I continue to hold this position formally. We have filed with the court a plea of not guilty to a single charge of doctor shopping that the state attorney's office has filed. Additionally ....

This has nothing to do with politics. It's just another case of a self-righteous media blowhard being a hypocrite and using his status to get preferential treatment by the legal system.

The first person to make this thread about politics was jerk with his Ted Kennedy comment. The wrongs of a Democrat don't cancel out the wrongs of a Republican. I can understand when namby pamby Democrats rally around one of their own, but I would have thought that the Republicans--with all their talk about law and order, morality, and personal responsibility-- would have been less forgiving. Stupid me, assuming that the pubz aren't as full of **** as the dimz.
