"Democratic Party prosecutor"

The party has their own prosecutors now?

[Reagan Man]

"This is about prosecutors leaking to the press. That's wrong. And I agree with Limbaugh on that," [Davis] said.

Hmmm. Interesting.

Lanny Davis defending Rush at this point, means some Democrat operatives are treading on thin ice.

[dread78645]

Contempt of Court citation?

[BJungNan]

The brazen legal move has Limbaugh's supporters worrying that his medical secrets may now be in the hands of senior Democratic Party operatives working for New York Senator Hillary Clinton and other top Democrats.

With all the smut in the Democratic Party, we are supposed to be worried about files on Rush Limbaugh. Give me a break.

[thesummerwind]

It is my guess that the Dems. are looking for substantiation of the link between Rush's deafness and his extensive drug abuse. That would be an embarrassment to Rush.

[ladyinred]

"This is about prosecutors leaking to the press. That's wrong. And I agree with Limbaugh on that," he said.

It is Christmas! I never thought I would see such a statement in all my days!

[Cicero]

I'm not a regular Rush listener, but it's obvious that the Democrats have set an extremely high priority for knocking him off the airwaves. Just as Drudge was their Public Enemy #1 during the Monica scandal, Rush is their Public Enemy #1 as we approach the 2002 election. With him out of the way they could do a LOT more spinning of the news. Directly or indirectly Rush reaches a lot of people, and makes it much more difficult for the liberal media to peddle their lies unchallenged.

I must admit I've been very surprised at the way many Freepers have reacted to Rush's problems. He is not a deliberate drug addict, he's a guy who got hooked on prescription pain killers. He didn't go out and buy crack cocaine or heroin. What happened to him could happen to anybody. I don't think people understand the dangers of getting addicted to legitimate medicines, and the difficulty of dealing with the problem. I happen to support the policy of keeping addictive drugs like coke, heroine, and (yes) marijuana illegal, but that's quite another matter from using pain killers because you are suffering from terrible pain, and then getting addicted to it. Add to that a criminal housekeeper and a criminal Democrat prosecutor, and my sympathies are entirely with Rush.

Rush's drug abuse injured no one but himself. If he was not a popular conservative talk show host this deal would have been settled meekly by now. That, in and of itself, should prove that his prosecution is a witch-hunt launched by the same despicable crowd that thought Clinton's medical records shouldn't be opened to examine evidence of a real assault on someone else's rigths.
The Rats want to lame Rush before the election by touting his hiprocrisy, but in the process are proving their own.
Rush can't be silenced this way. In the unlikely case they did take him out three others would pop up to replace him, (Tony Snow was hit in substitution).

[wingnuts'nbolts]

It will backfire on the Democrats badly. The choir of democrats who hate Rush and only listen to disrupt, will be gleeful, but the Rush devotees who vote are the ones who will seek to vote their disapproval of the neverending sleaze of the Clintonites. I think a lot of those people are independents, uncommitted voters, moderate democrats, republicans and conservatives.

For the first time this, and listening to a fellow from NY state talk about how poorly Hillary is regarded inher "home state" ,makes me truly see that she is all smoke and mirrors and harshness and really cannot win the nomination or the Presidency, she is through and so is her miserable spouse. She will be lucky to retain her Senate seat and become a female Teddy the Swimmer, Hillary the lightfingered. Rudy may just wipe up the platform with her and she'll be a one term Senator.

[AgThorn]

Party politics aside, if ones medical records can be so easily opened one has to really be concerned about the civil rights damage this represents.... and to think that the Demoncrats, those alledged protectors of civil rights, are the one's doing the violating.

Time to write someone about this ...

[Waco]

The taxpayers of Floriduh may be in for an expensive experience. Good thing plenty of em are transplanted rich northern libs. Give em hell Rush.

[sweetliberty]

I hope Rush sues those responsible.

[JudgemAll]

the Nazi like humiliation inflicted on Rush by baring him notwithstanding, it looks to me someone is looking for an alibi to conduct a political assassination or imprisonment.

[The Raven]

>>Writing on the conservative Web site FreeRepublic.com, one listener worried: "The contents of Limbaugh's medical records are undoubtedly already in Hillary's database."

Must be a newbie ...long time Freepers would be more positive. ..eg "The contents of Limbaugh's medical records are in Hillary's database."

[4Liberty]

Rush is not out of the woods.

If he has taken all these pills legally, he should be fine. But if he got them on the black market he deserves whatever he gets.

He after all, Rush is the one who's blathered for years about how tobacco is a "LEGAL" substance (as opposed to marijuana, etc.) and how tobacoo therefore should not be subjected to chronic arbitrary regulations, & blah-blah. As a libertarian, which Rush isn't, I feel little sympathy for him.

He's also been quick to the sword when Libertarians have called him to defend individual liberty in all personal decisions - immediately asking them if they are on drugs/or in favor legalizing drugs, and etc. right out of the starting gate. Like this statement - which is obviously correct, they DO favor legalization - somehow negates their [more principled] postion on personal liberty relative to the av. Republican's anti-drug war philosophy. (Wm. Buckley - & many other conservatives who publicly support drug legalization - excepted.)

Rush still hasn't said, up front, "I did not buy drugs on the black market, and did not instruct my maid to do so."

If he can say that, plainly & unequivocally, then -- maybe he won't look like he's spinning as he does now. He's been acting like Clinton lately, with the "I have rights" and blah-blah. Just SAY: "I DID NOT BUY DRUGS ON THE BLACK MARKET" Rush! How HaRD is that?

Too bad he isn't a libertarian like his guest host Prof. Walter Williams, to begin with. Then he wouldn't appear the big hypocrite he does right now. I still listen, but -- I have lost a lot of respect for the guy. He sounds like he's prevaricating most of the time, playing with legalities, etc.

By the way - what is Rush using for his various aches & pains nowadays? He doesn't seem to be in much pain, right now (from hearing on the show the past couple weeks).

Take care all,
Pam in L.A.

[Rightly Biased]

Over Here...............again?

[Wild Irish Rogue]

Could it be that there is no "there" there,in the medical records? In other words, no substantiation of a horrendous back injury requiring the level of narcotics normally required by patients with terminal CA,amputations,3rd degree burns,etc. No follow up MRIs,no spinal CT,no plain films,no myelograms. Just the word of the patient.

[MarkL]

Hmmmm.... If a state prosecuter were to leak information that is protected by a federal law to either the press or to the DNC, it seems to me that a HUGE lawsuit would be in the works, as well as criminal charges on a federal level.

I know it's just a dream, but wouldn't it be cool if Rush Limbaugh were to "own" the DNC?

[Kay Soze]

Rush is a political commentator and entertainer.

He is NOT an elected public official.

If rush didled his intern with his cigars its one thing but when the leader of the free world does it its entirely different.

Rush has gone after Bush quite abit too so who know whose behihg all this.
