You would think by now the State Attorney Office in Palm Beach would have stopped leaking to the press about Rush. It is evidence that they have no case but are intent to smear Rush.

As I told the court last month, we think the State Attorney’s Office should be investigated for journalist shopping.

BWAAAA-HAAAA-HAAAA!!!!

LOL!

I hope Black eats them alive...

What the records don’t show is that before we could draft a letter responding to the State, we received a phone call from a newspaper reporter, as a result of a leak by the State Attorney’s office, asking us whether Mr. Limbaugh had agreed to enter a plea. As I told the court last month, we think the State Attorney’s Office should be investigated for journalist shopping.

Or maybe the leak came from your team, Roy.

TOOBIN: To generate a little sympathy for him, shift the attention a little bit. But Roy Black is no dummy. A Limbaugh spokesman yesterday said that he was in the process of working out a plea agreement. What Rush Limbaugh does not need in is a trial in this case. If he's charged with felonies relating to doctor shopping, he could really go to prison. If he reaches a plea bargain, he certainly will not. What he needs to do is get this thing behind him as soon as possible, and that's Roy Black appears to be doing.

Who needs the truth when the media has a political agenda to fulfill.

Palm Beach State Attorney Barry Krischer is a Clinton Whore. The stench of Jackboot Janet Reno is so strong that it is even apparent on the West Coast.

Krischner needs penicillin for his gonoccocal sore throat.

I didn't get a chance to listen to Rush today..
Did he talk about this at all on his show?

You would think by now the State Attorney Office in Palm Beach would have stopped leaking to the press about Rush.

Just a thought, but one of the oldest tricks in the book is for the defense attorney to leak confidential stuff to the media and then blame the prosecution knowing that the media contact can't or won't disclose the source of the leak.

[Labyrinthos]

The facts are: Mr. Limbaugh went to these doctors to relieve chronic, intractable pain.

Rush was in so much pain that he was only able to play golf three or four times a week.

[Cubs Fan]

A guy with chronic pain gets hooked on pain meds then goes to rehab and by all appearances cleans up his act.

Anybody else but Rush and they would have either dropped the case or never pursued it.

[Cubs Fan]

just last week I heard sports guys talking about the courage and strength of Brett Favre for beating drug and alcohol abuse (I doubt he got hooked because of chronic pain.)

Just another big fat liberal double standard.

If the only horse you have is dead, it's ok to beat on it a while and hope it is just playing possum.

He's like one of Hitler's SS officers, "just following orders"

Attorneys, ethics - oxymoron

My feeling is that most if not all of these intimidation methods -- feeding a public pre-judgement frenzy, are also applied in San Diego, specifically -- so my feeling goes -- against David Westerfield, yet another independently well-off middle-aged white man, who lacking the massive counter PR and counter legal resources of Mr. Limbaugh, is now convicted, and lined up for execution by the State.

[CyberAnt]

Exactly right!!

Can anyone tell me how to take a photo from an attachment in an email and post it here?

Well, I thought the latest plea offer story was preposterous, nothing more than another propaganda hit piece. Nothing followed from the earlier stories either, although they claimed that a plea offer and deal were imminent.

The DA would have a VERY hard time convicting Rush of doctor shopping. The evidence I've seen, detailing the DA's allegations, clearly refutes it. Rush lives and works on both coasts and therefore, in my experience, needs several doctors. The number of doctors that the DA said were involved is perfectly reasonable. A doctor shopper would be someone who went to, let's say, a dozen doctors claiming back pain, and got them all to prescribe. It would also involve not letting one doctor know about the other doctors. Rush saw only four or five doctors, some of them specialists. That is not doctor shopping.

In order to prove such an unusual and seldom used charge, you would have to prove intent to consult doctors purely for the sake of feeding a drug habit, and I'm sure Rush can offer other reasonable explanations for consulting them.
