I'm getting tired of this same cliche being used in Rush story headlines. What's the problem with copy editors that they think they are clever when repeating the same line 15 times, with each new development of the story?

Frankly, this deal would probably save Rush's life because he would be randomly tested for drugs.

No political motivation here, no-sirree.
If this were Keith Richards, the offer would have been accepted. If this were a Hollywood liberal in good standing, the offer would have been accepted. If this had been any anonymous person off the street, the offer would have been accepted. If this had been Bill or Hillary Clinton, the offer would have been accepted. But its Rush Limbaugh, so the democrat crapola machine swings into gear.

I think you are right. Rush is still in denial. He thinks he has a " medication administration problem". He has this notion that he is different than any other junkie. The only functional difference between Rush and a junkie in East harlem is Rush has money. From a medical and pharmacological point of view there is no difference.

Prosecutors rejected a proposed deal offered by Rush Limbaugh's attorney that would have seen the radio commentator enter a court-sponsored drug intervention program rather than face charges, according to records. Rush would probably do well if it ever goes to trial. Lots of people can relate to addictions of one sort or another, I'd bet any money he be acquitted. Especially since he made an attempt at rehabilitation.

I don't know about that. It is a heavily liberal area. Lots of problems with drugs particularly oxycontin deaths.
If Roy Black thought he had this one in the bag be wouldn't be dealing. He would be laughing at the prosecutors and telling them to file. See you in court. He did that with William Kennedy Smith and Marv Albert. But not with Rush.

" In an attempt to head off charges, Limbaugh's attorney, Roy Black, wrote prosecutors on Dec. 11 to suggest that his client enter a court-sponsored drug intervention program without a guilty plea."
Is a drug intervention program the same as rehab or is it a post treatment counseling and monitoring situation ?
To: tcuoohjohn
Right about now Rush needs some real friends, not people who make their living off him.

Think your right. Sometimes the best friends you have are the ones who will give you a verbal kick in the ass by telling you the truth. The problem is nobody wants to tell the Gravy Train the truth for fear of being kicked off the gravy train.

Believe it is the latter. Part of the Florida Pretrial Intervention Program. Normally it is used in youthful offender situations.

This is a criminal case not a civil trial.
Who does Rush sue?...I dunno.

Yes this is a BS WITCH HUNT and everyone knows it hes went through rehab give him a drug test if hes still on the drugs PROVE IT that way this doctor shopping crap is done by so many people its not funny but let a guy like rush do it and WHOOOO HOOO we got us a case boys lets fry the Conservative
There ain't one person out there truthful enough to tell they were doing it especially if they were in excruciating pain they would be screaming and scratching to get the drugs .
And don't get me wrong i don't condone actions of doctor shopping but i also know what pain can do to people physically and mentally as well and back pain can be some of the worst since your back holds everything else in proper form .

From a medical and pharmacological point of view there is no differenceThat's true only if a Harlem junkie has a back problem and is taking pain pills.
What a silly comparison.

If Roy Black thought he had this one in the bag be wouldn't be dealing. Then if Rush is hesitant to go to trial like it or not he may have to take the probation deal. It doesn't look like the prosecutors are going to give in.

I see that you too are in denial. Addiction to opiates is addiction to opiates. They treat the addicted " back patient" with the exact same treatments they treat the junkies from east harlem. Different furniture perhaps but that is peripheral. Please note my use of the terms medical and pharmacological to the exclusion of sociological and economic.

Prosecutors apparently get Brownie points for locking up the maximum number of people and common sense and justice have nothing to do with it. Rush already got plenty of benefit from his fame. After all, the investigation was not carried out at 4 AM by the local SWAT team.
