Drive-by Media F**ks up again!
Yeah, too bad Rush didn't climb over the fence and fall asleep in the wrong Palm Beach compound like Robert Downey Jr. That was so cute! All the reporters loved it!

They weren't wrong, they knew exactly what they were doing.
You know the drill: Story on Page 1, correction on Page 17.

Do you have a cite for that? I thought at the time the investigation was announced there was only one statement he had made about drugs, that pre-dated his addiction (something in the 1996 timeframe, IIRC).
Looks like the liberal drive by media had another 'wet' dream....lol....
If they are kept dry and cool, most meds retain their potency for years after their expiration dates.
I didn't say you were wrong I said you didn't know anything about it.
Let's all admit it, Rush was breaking some law.
What law has he been charged with breaking? Name it!
If he wasn't he wouldn't have gone into rehab twice.
He went into rehab because he was addicted to Rx painkillers. To my memory it wasn't twice but once and he has been off of them since. If it was twice perhaps you can provide some documentation.
Don't you guys remember how much he was criticizing Clinton for not releasing his medical records, but when it came to his medical records, he used Roy Black to do his best to keep them out of the prosecutors hands.
Now there you are completely wrong. The prosecutor obtained Rush's medical records by illegally raiding his doctor's office. What Rush did, through his lawyer of course, was fight the prosecutor to keep him from making them public. Unfortunately some of his records were leaked by the DAs office which is against FL law. Something that doesn't cover Presidents in DC.
I know some will argue that Clinton was the president, and Rush is a entertainer, but you can't have it both ways.
You are the one bringing that up and it's moronic. The President holds public office and lives in DC not FL and is not covered by FL law. Up until Clinton Presidents release their medical records to give the public confidence in their health.
My guess, and I can be wrong, I feel that Rush just has an addiction and does not have any back problems as he claims.
Of course not. His doctor and his doctor's partners in practice just handed out pain killers to a high visibility celebrity because he wanted them and the DA, who raided the doctors office for Rush's records (instead of the usual procedure of requesting them) didn't happen to think of charging those doctors for handing out addictive Rx pills for kicks. That makes sense. /sarcasm
I don't play golf, but I can imagine that playing golf involves allot of back movement.
Wow, you're a genius. Golf requires movement. Call A & E, you've got a major documentary there.
If I am not mistaken Rush plays allot of golf.
Where'd you get that idea? Did you listen to his show once?
If all of these charges are phony then how come Rush has not sued the National Enquirer and his former house keepers who made these allegations.
Apart from being a little busy with rehab, his show and fighting a politically motivated prosecutor who leaked his medical records and couldn't come up with a charge after holding them for over two years maybe he just didn't feel like it. If his maid had something substantial to testify to why wasn't he charged? Buying drugs from her would have been a lot bigger deal than the never-charged "doctor shopping."
I will be the first to apologize if someone can give meexact details to counter my assumptions.
At least you called them assumptions.
A brain, you slug.
guffaw
;o)
Thanks. And while I'm at it....I think I'll express my views to Fox about how they jump from one major interview/news story (like the UN meeting re: Iran's latest threat)...to trivial bs like the Duke story. I can't count how many times they've interrupted someone right in the middle of an interview of national importance...only to report on a 'Fox News Alert' re: something stupid or something that had already been reported on to death. They did this dozens of times during the Natalie Holloway media blitz. (aaaaargh!) I got so frustrated, I stopped watching Fox News.
Anyhoo....thanks again.
Hey, Liberty, it's troll night at the FR corral. Slap some leather and have at 'em. ;^)
Michael Savage was in full throttle gloating when this erroneous story broke. I didn't stick around to see how he handled the corrections, if he handled them at all.
"I just watched the first few minutes of "On The Record w/Greta VanSusteren." She had her panel of "experts" on, three lawyers and an ex-DC cop I think they are. I used to have a little respect for these guys. Every single one took the hard-left line that Rush got away with something because he's rich...and white. The lawyers all came down with amnesia that only seemed to affect their legal educations and the black ex-cop totally backed the race-card. Pathetic partisan leftists to a man.
To Greta's credit she argued as best she could about the facts and the law, and seemed incredulous at her panel's positions, but they cowed her in the end. The all looked sheepish but held fast to their "rich-guy's law," "white-guy's law.""
After impatiently demanding I answer him he seems to have disappeared. Nothing more disappointing than a lightweight troll.
