Limbaugh is a victim, the goverment was out to get him!
WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (CNN) -- An attorney for Rush Limbaugh charged Monday that the conservative talk show host was being blackmailed by the Florida couple whose allegations triggered an ongoing investigation into his purchases of painkillers.

Why didn't he go to the police you ask? Well I hope you have your tin hats on!!!!

Black said Limbaugh wanted to contact the FBI, but was told by an unidentified friend that if he went to the authorities, they would target him, and his political enemies would use the information against him.

Oh and how bad does Mr. Limbaugh want to keep his records sealed? It appears he is willing to bargain with the prosecutor and accept some form of guilt, no doubt less then he actually deserves....

Keven Bellows, a spokeswoman for Premier Radio Networks, said Black had been talking with the Palm Beach County state attorney's office about Limbaugh "accepting responsibility for his actions."

His lawyer denies that he is willing to cop to any crime, but that standard operating procedure for lawyers. They don't admit jack sh!t until the deal is done.

Enjoy the article....

1. He is right about his
political enemies that they are out to get him but he doesn't recognize yet that the enemies are his once dear so he thought friends. He can believe that those lefties that he has spit fire about during his reign are not the enemies here.

11. Limbaugh:Waah! waaah! waaaaah!
Suck it up you big baby! You're getting 1,000 times better treatment than if you were poor and/or black. You're only getting a fraction of the treatment you've wished on others in the exact same cicrumstance.

13. Rush's views
on drug laws, I'm sure have undergone major change over the last few months but, I'm equally sure, only as they pertain to him. I'm willing to bet, if he comes thru this without a conviction, it will only be a matter of time before he is, once again, calling for jailing of those drug abusers that don't have HIS strength of character and ability to overcome that addiction. He will be touting the whole affair as a positive and the dittoheads will agree.

15. As he will spout off about his "morale strength and character...

He will most likely be under the influence of methadone or using his preferred pain relieving drugs.
