		<description>Am I losing my mind here?  I just read that one of those Baldwin boys (as in Alec Baldwin)was busted for cocain and related drug paraphernalia.  I am looking forward to WHAT his &quot;trial&quot; will uncover and WHEN he is found guilty, what will his sentence be?  Oh, what&#039;s that you say, he was released and not charged?&#039;  Forgive me for being so stupid, he hails from a family of liberal, air headed, moronic, hollywood lefties.  NEVERMIND.  I need to get with the program. s/off</description>

		<description>Drudge pointed out that the DA had publicly charged that Rush had committed at least 10 felonies. And after all this, he ends up with a &quot;settlement.&quot; If ever the law was an ass, if ever a law enforcement official was an ass, it is Martz.</description>

		<description>This does have a positive side to it. The Old Guard Mainstream Media has once again exposed itself as the biased hacks they are. 

This prosecutor needed &quot;a way out&quot; of the dilema he found himself in - er - put himself in. I think Rush is being overly generous giving this twerp a chance to &quot;save face&quot; with his political hack buddies. I do understand Rush&#039;s need to get out from under the stress, though. He knows it&#039;s political and doesn&#039;t mean squat to his credibility.

Let&#039;s hope Delay doesn&#039;t cut Ron Earle any such slack. Earle is a proven political hack that set out to get him. In Rush&#039;s case, I believe the State Attorney was just an opportunist.

		<description>I don&#039;t care if bribing law enforcement officials in South Florida is customary and expected, I may never forgive Rush for giving Barry Kirscher (Palm Beach State Attorney) a $30,000 &quot;reimbursement.&quot;

But, heck, none of us is perfect.</description>

		<description>If I recall correctly, Rush would be the first person to be charged for a prescription drug addiction in that county.  Every other addict that went through rehab had charges dropped and no longer investigated.  

I don&#039;t recall the source but it was early on in the hub-bub.

Just remember to be a liberal you have to be at best a hypocrit or at worst schizophrenic.

I prefer to not to participate in the lib mental health program.</description>

		<description>As a Dittohead since &#039;88, I&#039;ve heard countless comments from El Rushbo about the poor.  Someone, ecamorg I believe, said he didn&#039;t think Rush had any compassion for the poor.  I don&#039;t believe that&#039;s the case at all.  Rush doesn&#039;t suffer fools easily, and does have contempt for those who refuse to try to pull themselves out of poverty. Like the guy from Colorado who called years ago whining about being unable to afford the Limbaugh letter.  Rush refused to give him a free one, but helped him put on a fundraiser (Dan&#039;s bake sale?)  Rush may be rich as hell now, but I believe he remembers where he came from.</description>

		<description>The most important thing is that Rush is doing great, his treatment has been a success. I remember how awful he sounded right before the whole oxycontin story broke. I doubt El Rushbo would be on the air today if he wasn&#039;t forced to confront his demons publicly.

As far as the press coverage goes, is anybody really surprised? It just gives me another example to show my children about how the media twists information to fit their agendas.</description>

		<description>ecamorg Well I&#039;m glad your not A phony balogna, plastic banana, good time rock &amp; roll FM type as plain as glass I can see right through you type person. I graduated high school in (66), grew up during Vietnam, I experimented with drugs like many of us did big waste of time mostly pot no more. I&#039;m A big music fan classic rock &amp; roll, soul, Frank Sanatra, Ella, classical, pop,country you name it. I belive that anyone who his sincere in his heart has compassion for the poor. I just like Rush was broke and lived week to week trying to pay my bills. I have been there just like Rush has been there, I have never forgotten where I&#039;ve came from.

		<description>I see what you&#039;re saying, birdman. I say he would call me that,(phony bologna, ect...) because at first blush, that&#039;s what he&#039;d see. I fit the physical description, have no problem with folks who smoke, and I make a living playing rock and roll. That&#039;s kind of an inside joke about me, but as far as my feelings regarding Rush&#039;s attitude towards the poor... honestly, I have to stick by what I said earlier. 

     Now I know he demonstrates absurdity by being absurd, and I realize he pronounces poor &quot;the poo-er&quot; just to irritate people on purpose,(actually, it IS funny) but it appears, at least to me, that he has a reflexive indifference toward them. I truly can&#039;t blame him, because so many of the poor are invincibly ignorant Dims, and deserve no better than what they give, and I can&#039;t pin down an exact instance where he really struck me as antipathetic,(is that a word?). 

     It&#039;s more like a gut feeling I get from a thousand vague comments he&#039;s made. It&#039;s the only gripe I have with Rush, and I have been a dittohead since the first time I heard him almost 15 years ago. He&#039;s brilliant, insightful, funny as hell, and above all... Right. I also appreciate the concept of tough love. It&#039;s fair, and it works extremely well. I acknowledge the charity of Rush, (the funds he raised for cancer research Friday was a beautiful, real gesture) and he could not do what he does as well as he does if he wasn&#039;t genuine. He is a great one, there&#039;s no denying it.

     I just can&#039;t shake the feeling though. Of course, I could be mistaken... or I may have some subconscious class envy myself.</description>

		<description>What I find disturbing it that the rules of procedure have been ignored and permitted by the court!

The DA ordered his henchmen to swoop down and take Rush&#039;s medical records WITHOUT court approval and to violate doctor/patient relationships.  Rush&#039;s attorney argued this point, but even though the judge agreed with Rush&#039;s attorney, he still said it was OK to bend the rules this time.

Now, there are certain exceptions to the rules which law enforcement can utilize during criminal investigations without first obtaining a warrant. These are called extigent circumstances:

1) Plain view-where the police clearly see illegal stuff in actual plain view.
2) Consent-where the owner of property allows police to search his stuff.
3) Emergency situations(plain view only).
4) Preservation of Evidence-this is where the police witness evidence being moved or destroyed and can move without a warrant and gather up evidence, or REASONABLY believe that evidence is about to be destroyed.
5) Hot pursuit.
6) Incident to LAWFUL arrest (vehicles and persons searches).
7) Prisoners.

Now, I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY, so I will stand corrected by any legally trained person if need be.  Now, none of this stuff applies to Rush&#039;s situation.

I think that where Rush now resides is hard core Dems including the judges and the DA. Rush is perceived as a threat to them, and they want revenge because Al Gore did not win the election, because Kerry did not win the election, because they are not able to set up someone in broadcasting that can rival and surpass Rush.  For the lib/dems, Rush is a reactionary! So, as stated in my copy of the COMMUNIST MANIFESTO AND RESTAURANT GUIDE &quot;The ends justify the means.&quot;

I think that Rush should have perhaps challenged this stuff via the Florida court of appeals and request the Florida State Attorney General&#039;s to investigate the DA who went after Rush.

Could it be that, perhaps, in some states, the Constitution and Criminal Court procedure is indeed...written in pencil?

Just wondering....</description>

		<description>When Elvis Presley passed away from his addictive drugs, the prosecutor went after his doctor(s).  Had he lived, I doubt he would have been charged with doctor shopping!!
 It is very obvious this has simply been a case of a prosecutor with a political agenda.  A liberal democrat
prosecutor out to &quot;get&quot; America&#039;s most famous conservative
radio talk show host.  
 Rush was not in an effort to get &quot;high&quot; on drugs.  His needs for meds stemmed for a need to relieve severe back pain.  Not so with many celebrities in the past and current time that abuse drugs for pleasure.</description>

		<description>Rush&#039;s case highlights what is wrong about our drug enforcement debacle.  We learned nothing from the alcohol prohibition experience.  Instead of guaranteeing a monopoly for the drug cartels, I wish the government would save the cost of &quot;enforcement&quot;, which hasn&#039;t worked; hold abusers legally responsible for any consequenses of their addiction; and provide cost-free rehab for those who request it.

Rush is lucky in that he can afford rehab.  Most cannot.  Like many addictions (tobacco comes to mind) it often takes several attempts to finally kick a drug habit. 

If drug addicts want to ruin their lives, that&#039;s their business.  If they want to kick the habit, it behooves us to help.  However, let&#039;s eliminate the ancillary crime (burglary, robbery, etc.) that results from the high costs of the addiction and the rehab - and keep innocent citizens out of it.

If we can learn from this, then Rush&#039;s experience can be a net benefit for all.</description>

		<description>Mega Dittos here ecamorg Rush has more class in one bead of his sweat than in the whole Democratic combined, but you&#039;r wrong about him having no compassion for the poor, he speaks from the heart I can feel it. Rush is three years younger than me the term phony bologna good time rock  &amp; roll plastic banana B.S. is the same term that my friends and I used. We also dope smoked but I was never a lib and I smoke no more. If you are a phony bologna, smoke dope than brother no one can belive a word out of your mouth.</description>

		<description>&quot;That idiot is probably bragging to all his dim friends that he “owns” Rush now. You watch, somewhere someone will try accusing Rush of something to try and get him in trouble and violate his diversion.&quot;

Uh huh. You can bet on it, gr. Rush is too big a fish to let go. They&#039;ll try something, but I think MahaRushie will outwit them.</description>

		<description>God Bless Rush.

My personal take on all this is that the dim prosecutor knew he really had nothing he could pin on him, and would not be able to use the copies of his medical records he made to railroad him, so he came up with this diversion plan so he can have this whole thing hang over Rush&#039;s head for 18 months.  That idiot is probably bragging to all his dim friends that he &quot;owns&quot; Rush now.  You watch, somewhere someone will try accusing Rush of something to try and get him in trouble and violate his diversion.

BTW he may have reported to police on his own, but only by the most technical of readings was he &quot;arrested.&quot;  They just want the headline to make it appeara that the police tracked him down and cuffed him like a common criminal and took him away to jail.  A pox on the press!</description>
