Limbaugh to Criticize Fla. Prosecutor in Ads
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=peopleNews&storyID=5125278

Conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh has purchased full-page ads in two Florida newspapers to charge that local prosecutors are politically motivated in investigating him for "doctor shopping."

Limbaugh's company, EIB (Excellence In Broadcasting), said the ads, which would run on Thursday in the Palm Beach Post and South Florida Sun-Sentinel, reprint a May 9 editorial from the conservative Washington Times that accuses West Palm Beach State Attorney Barry Krischer of political opportunism.

Limbaugh, one of America's most influential conservative commentators, last October publicly admitted an addiction to prescription painkillers and checked into a drug rehabilitation center.

He is being investigated by Democrat Krischer's office.

The Washington Times editorial cites as evidence of Krischer's bias his stated policy against prosecuting those with addictions so that he could focus on dealers.

2. Breaking trend - rich defendants buy ads to announce innocence?
This couldn't be intentionally poisoning the jury pool, could it?

3. I consider this obstruction of justice
Why? Because I seem to remember that during the Lewinsky deal Limbaugh said that to criticize Ken Starr was tanamount to obstructing his investigation.

15. That's what I was thinking
How stupid could one be to publicly taunt the prosecutor, who literally has your life in his/her hands? He is either high or has finally gone completely off the deep end. Or both.

7. But you ARE a dealer, Rush
Edited on Wed May-12-04 11:02 PM by rocknation
At least, the prosecutor has you on record as having bought enough pills to be charged with possession with intent to distribute. If you actually took all those thousands of pills you bought, then I stand corrected--and you'd be lying down dead.

8. This is such BS
Others in Florida have been prosecuted for doctor shopping for less than what Limppau did. It's been shown in recent news down here. They even subpoenaed their medical records.

10. You know,
for all the bitching he did about the lack of morals and responsibility in today's society, you'd think that he'd be willing to accept some for his crime. Oh, wait, he's a rethug. Never mind.

11. DEFINITELY using again!
I mean, you pretty much have to be stoned to pull some dumb shit like this. Go ahead, Flush, fire up that backhoe and have a good time.

It's just like that greedy fuck from HealthSouth, Richard Scrushy, who's now taken to hosting a local cable station's Old Time Jay-zus Hour to remind everyone just how tight he and Gawd are during the run-up to his trial.

Pathetic, transparent and deeply delusional bullshit.
