Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol had planned on marrying has reached a plea deal in her drug case. Sherry Johnston pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of possession with intent to deliver the painkiller OxyContin.

She hugged her lawyer, Rex Butler, before being escorted out of the courtroom and taken to a correctional facility where...

RUSH: I got an e-mail. This is from Susan in Virginia Beach. "Dear Rush: You are my professor. I am indebted to you for the knowledge that you have given me. You've always told us that you would tell us when it was time to panic. I'm starting to wonder how we are going to get our country back from these revolutionaries. Is it time to panic?" No. 'Cause panic doesn't accomplish anything. But when we come back from the break, I'm going to tell you how to get the country back. I'm going to tell you how it will...

Rush Limbaugh Talk-radio giant Rush Limbaugh is blasting the so-called economic stimulus plan of President Obama and the Democrat-led Congress, calling it an assault on capitalism intentionally designed to harm the private sector and lead to bigger government. "This is a full-fledged attack on capitalism, and the leftists Democrats have been seeking this for the longest time," Limbaugh said on his program this afternoon. "That's why they can't stop themselves. It is Christmas morning every day for these people. There's nobody that can stop them." A question e-mailed to the host asked if the Democrats really understood that they're "destroying...

-- Wasilla resident Sherry L. Johnston, mother of Bristol Palin's boyfriend, faces a Jan. 6 court date for an oxycontin-related arrest at her home by Alaska State Troopers. Little additional information was available Friday on the case as authorities remained unusually tight-lipped about details. But Palmer court records listed her scheduled court date and a troopers spokeswoman said in a release late Friday afternoon that the charges "are in relation to the drug oxycontin." Johnston is the mother of Levi Johnston, the Wasilla 18-year-old suddenly placed in an international spotlight in September when Gov. Sarah Palin -- who was then...

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Fifty-six government employees -- including a police officer, a felony court clerk, two corrections officers and 27 school bus drivers and attendants -- were arrested in a scam that used health insurance information to fraudulently obtain prescriptions for the painkiller OxyContin, authorities said Wednesday. Sixty-two people were arrested in total and all face charges including racketeering, conspiracy to commit racketeering and grand theft, according to the Miami-Dade state attorney's office. Authorities estimate 130 medically unnecessary prescriptions for OxyContin -- more than 12,000 tablets -- were presented to pharmacies. The drugs have an estimated street value of...

Exponential growth in addiction met with a dramatic reduction in supply, creates a situation where a large number of people get sick and desperate. Prices spike as addicts clamor to find the drugs they need so badly. Alternative, and often illegal, methods for raising funds are employed. Progressively risky behavior and criminal associations occur. People lose jobs, lose housing, and lose families, dismantling a network of support systems that are challenging, if not impossible, to rebuild. The magnitude of people potentially involved will send shockwaves through the criminal justice, social services, health care, and criminal justice service delivery systems as...

SAMHSA announced in March 2008 that Oklahoma topped the nation in prescription painkiller addiction. Effective law enforcement strategies by the DEA and the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs have abruptly shut down many of the online pharmacies, loose physician prescription practices, and multiple doctor sourcing. The result is a dramatic reduction in supply. The huge growth in painkiller addiction fueled by cheap and easy supply is being faced with a shutdown in supply. The result will be a sudden overwhelming number of sick and desperate people. Before we become too judgmental of such people, let us not forget...

The hatred from supposedly compassionate and open-minded Hollywoodans is something to behold, isn't it? After all, just imagine despising a radio talk show host so much that you would suggest, on national television, that he should die of a drug overdose. Alas, such was the case Friday evening when HBO's Bill Maher actually asked guest P.J. O'Rourke, who was talking about Rush Limbaugh's use of the prescription drug OxyContin (video available here courtesy our friend Ms Underestimated): Why couldn't have he croaked from it instead of Heath Ledger? Honestly, can you imagine? MSNBC's David Shuster was suspended on Friday for...

Federal prosecutors had what looked like a solid case against Joan Jaszczult, a Bloomfield doctor accused of writing Oxycontin and Percocet prescriptions for a ring that resold the drugs on the streets for huge profits. They had secret recordings by informants and undercover agents, a line of alleged co-conspirators waiting to testify against her, and even an eye-popping motive: she needed the cash, they said, to help pay $100,000 in plastic surgery bills. But four days after the trial opened, prosecutors suffered a devastating setback. The presiding judge, U.S. District Judge Stanley Chesler, ruled the government had improperly introduced a...

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) - People in the United States are living in a world of pain and they are popping pills at an alarming rate to cope with it. The amount of five major painkillers sold at retail establishments rose 90 percent between 1997 and 2005, according to an Associated Press analysis of statistics from the Drug Enforcement Administration. More than 200,000 pounds of codeine, morphine, oxycodone, hydrocodone and meperidine were purchased at retail stores during the most recent year represented in the data. That total is enough to give more than 300 milligrams of painkillers to every person...

CNNÂ’s "from the Left" commentator Paul Begala apparently doesnÂ’t want people to forget that Rush Limbaugh dealt with OxyContin addiction. During a panel discussion of Rudy Giuliani and the possible factor of his family life in his presidential bid, Begala attacked the GOP, accusing that the party "has made a practice of going after peopleÂ’s families," and then singled out Limbaugh for doing this (though Limbaugh has never officially worked for the Republicans). "Not just attacking Bill Clinton, we remember Rush Limbaugh attacking Chelsea Clinton. Maybe it was just the OxyContin talking." Nine months ago, Begala slammed Limbaugh as the...

On Dec. 7, 2001, nearly three months after the terrorist attack that had made him a national hero and a little over three weeks before he would leave office, New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani took the first official step toward making himself rich. The letter he dispatched to the city Conflicts of Interest Board that day asked permission to begin forming a consulting firm with three members of his outgoing administration. The company, Giuliani said, would provide “management consulting service to governments and business” and would seek out partners for a “wide-range of possible business, management and financial services”...

A major pharmaceutical client of Rudy Giuliani's consulting firm pleaded guilty yesterday to lying to doctors and patients about the addiction risk of the painkiller OxyContin.....federal prosecutors called it one of the nation's worst prescription-drug scandals ever.....could be a painful hit to Giuliani...... Purdue Pharma touted OxyContin as a low-risk miracle drug that relieved pain and was less addictive than other drugs. But the opposite was true.......OxyContin is derived from the opium poppy and is very addictive........ Purdue Pharma and its top officers agreed to pay $634.5 million in fines. The illegal promotions of the drug occurred 1996-2001. Giuliani Partners...

The maker of the powerful painkiller OxyContin and three of its current and former executives pleaded guilty Thursday to misleading the public about the drug's risk of addiction, a federal prosecutor and the company said. Purdue Pharma L.P. and the executives will pay $634.5 million in fines, U.S. Attorney John Brownlee said in the news release. The plea comes two days after the Stamford, Conn.-based company agreed to pay $19.5 million to 26 states and the District of Columbia to settle complaints that it encouraged physicians to overprescribe OxyContin. "With its OxyContin, Purdue unleashed a highly abusable, addictive, and potentially...

First came the revelation that Rudolph W. Giuliani had given repeatedly to Planned Parenthood, furthering angering conservatives upset about his abortion stance. Then the Village Voice raised questions about whether he got a discount on four diamond rings commemorating the Yankees’ recent World Series rings. Could the week get any tougher for Mr. Giuliani? It did, with the guilty plea today of Purdue Pharma, the makers of OxyContin and a company for which Mr. Giuliani has been a top adviser. The company and three current and former company executives pleaded guilty to criminal charges that they misled doctors and patients...

Rudolph Giuliani and his consulting company, Giuliani Partners, have served as key advisors for the last five years to the pharmaceutical company that pled guilty today to charges it misled doctors and patients about the addiction risks of the powerful narcotic painkiller OxyContin. Federal officials say the company, Purdue Frederick, helped to trigger a nationwide epidemic of addiction to the time-release painkiller by failing to give early warnings that it could be abused. Prosecutors say "in the process scores died." Drug Enforcement Administration officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com Giuliani personally met with the head of the DEA when the...

Conviction Of McLean Pain Doctor Overturned Appeals Court Says Judge Erred in Jury Instructions A federal appeals court threw out the conviction of William E. Hurwitz yesterday, granting the prominent former Northern Virginia pain-management doctor a new trial because jurors were not allowed to consider whether he prescribed drugs in good faith. The decision again galvanized the national debate that the Hurwitz case had come to symbolize: whether fully licensed doctors prescribing legal medication to patients in chronic pain should be subject to prosecution if their patients abuse or sell the drugs. Patient advocate groups strongly supported Hurwitz and expressed...

An actress in the school play. Two star high school football players. The cute hostess at a local restaurant. Two busy workers behind the counter at the pharmacy. All teenagers with promise in an affluent triangle of eastern Morris County towns. But all were criminally charged last week in a drug bust coordinated by the Morris County Prosecutor's Office. Operation Painkiller nabbed 47 adults and seven juveniles, including some current students and a host of alumni of Whippany Park High School in Hanover. Police said they seized more than $70,000 in cash and drugs, including 4 ounces of heroin with...

What began as a scheme to sell fraudulent prescriptions for OxyContin eventually blossomed into a giant, organized drug ring with gang ties, investigators claim.SNIP... The alleged OxyContin ring included 234 people who recruited other "patients" as well as obtaining and distributing OxyContin. On Thursday, a federal grand jury rendered an 83-count indictment against Theodore, including ongoing criminal enterprise, crimes against the United States, conspiracy to distribute drugs and drug distribution. The FBI was expected to hold a news conference about the indictment today. "It's huge," said Joe Christensen, director of the state Insurance Department's Insurance Fraud Division. "Absolutely huge. ....

Limbaugh to Judgment From: Timothy Noah Wednesday, May 3, 2006, at 4:08 PM ET On May 1, Rush Limbaugh signed a "deferred prosecution agreement" (see below) with the Palm Beach state attorney. The agreement is the outcome of a three-year investigation into Limbaugh's procurement of OxyContin and other painkillers, to which he became addicted after spinal surgery. News of Limbaugh's addiction first appeared in an October 2003 National Enquirer story in which a former housekeeper of Limbaugh's claimed Limbaugh paid her tens of thousands of dollars to procure painkillers. Although that claim was never substantiated, Limbaugh publicly admitted his addiction...

Rush was on a roll. He made fun of polling showing that Hillary Clinton has a higher rating when she uses the last name Rodham instead of Clinton. He lambasted a Republican proposal to alleviate high gas prices with a $100 rebate check and accused Congress of pandering. "The more I think about this," said Limbaugh, "the more like a slut I feel." He extolled the patriotic new movie thriller "United 93." He criticized U.S. immigration policy for favoring uneducated laborers over highly trained technicians. He jauntily discussed the etiquette of cigar smoking. And he thanked his listeners, the 20...

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - After three years under suspicion, Rush Limbaugh can finally put behind him the investigation that exposed the conservative commentator's own drug problems, thrusting him into the spotlight for the very things he derided in others. None of it affected his ratings for a radio talk show that airs weekdays on nearly 600 stations and draws about 20 million listeners a week, Limbaugh spokesman Tony Knight said. "This investigation didn't have any impact on his audience or on his advertising," Knight said Saturday, a day after defense attorneys announced a deal with prosecutors. A single prescription...

William Nucklos had a courtroom full of supporters --; including a 1968 Olympic gold-medalist -- at his Wednesday sentencing for 20 counts of drug trafficking and illegally possessing drug documents. Nucklos was sentenced to serve 20 years in prison and a $100,000 fine. His medical license was suspended for five years. Judge Douglas Rastatter questioned why Nucklos should be treated differently from a street dealer if he hadn’t fulfilled his medical duties. A jury found Nucklos, 58, of Powell, guilty Feb. 15 after a two-year investigation of his Springfield medical office where he sold OxyContin prescriptions for $75 to $200....

It has been more than two years since news first broke that Rush Limbaugh had an addiction to painkillers. That news led to a criminal investigation of Limbaugh by Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer, who in December 2003 leaked to the media that his office had uncovered evidence of 10 felony counts, including "doctor shopping," money laundering and drug trafficking. Despite the sensational allegations, no charges have been brought. Worse, in the latest round between the State Attorney's office and Limbaugh, Assistant State Attorney James Martz made a startling admission in open court on Tuesday as he sought...

FRANKLIN, Tenn. - An arrest warrant issued for Mindy McCready says the country singer has violated her probation on a drug charge, authorities said Wednesday. A judge signed off on the warrant Monday because McCready left Tennessee without getting permission from her probation officer and didn't report to the officer during July, according to Williamson County Sheriff's officials interviewed Wednesday. Authorities said this was McCready's second probation violation, which means she cannot post bond this time and likely will have to serve time in jail. The probation violations stem from charges brought against the singer last year, when she pleaded...

Miami-Dade School bus drivers, custodians, a cook and a cashier were among the 29 people arrested today on charges they sold the powerful painkiller OxyContin on the street, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced. ''We have no evidence that children or teachers were involved in this scheme,'' said U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta. ``But these are not the type of people we want around our children.'' Joseph Garcia, a spokesman for Miami-Dade schools, said the district learned of the arrests, and the nearly two-year investigation, today. Monday is the first day of school in Miami-Dade County. ''First, we're shocked, then we're...

Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Thomas Barkdull, who originally issued the warrant used to seize Rush Limbaugh's medical records, ruled Friday that prosecutors will only receive records that "fall within the scope" of the original warrant, and that he will privately review them to make that determination. Limbaugh's medical records were seized in late 2003 by Palm Beach County prosecutors investigating suspicions the radio talk show host had engaged in "doctor shopping" – illegally receiving multiple prescriptions from four different doctors for pain killers. Limbaugh's attorney successfully had the records sealed while appealing the seizure, but arguments that they had...

The medical field of treating chronic pain is still in its infancy. It was only in the late 1980s that leading physicians trained in treating the chronic pain of terminally ill cancer patients began to recommend that the "opioid therapy"(treatment involving narcotics related to opium) used on their patients also be used for patients suffering from non terminal conditions. The new therapies proved successful, and prescription pain medications saw a huge leap in sales throughout the 1990s. But opioid therapy has always been controversial. The habit-forming nature of some prescription pain medications made many physicians, medical boards, and law enforcement...

Rush Limbaugh successfully kept his medical records sealed to prosecutors investigating whether he illegally purchased painkillers - at least for a few more days. Circuit Judge Jeffrey A. Winikoff decided Thursday to transfer the sealed records to another judge, who will decide how prosecutors will review them. Limbaugh has lost repeated court battles to keep the records sealed, but his appeals have successfully stalled the investigation for more than 18 months. It was not clear Thursday when the second judge might issue a ruling. Limbaugh's attorney, Roy Black, has urged the court to privately review the records before handing over...

(AP) - WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.-A doctor accused of running a "pill mill" was convicted Thursday of drug trafficking but acquitted of first-degree murder in a patient's fatal overdose. Dr. Denis Deonarine could be sentenced to up to 25 years in prison after a jury found him guilty on 10 of a possible 86 felony counts, including Medicaid fraud. Sentencing was scheduled for July 15. Deonarine's medical license was suspended following the 2001 death of Michael Labzda, 21. Labzda's friends said he was snorting crushed OxyContin pills and drinking rum. Defense attorney Richard Lubin said Deonarine acted in good faith...

Last week, in response to mounting problems with the painkiller OxyContin, I filed legislation in Congress to withdraw its Food and Drug Administration approval and remove it from the market. While the bill received a robust response from both supporters and opponents, there remains considerable misunderstanding as to the nature of the OxyContin threat. This product is one of the most addictive substances to be sold legally in the United States. It is more addictive than cocaine and second only to heroin in addictiveness among narcotics. The premise of my legislation is that the drug is so inherently addictive that...

The old NRA slogan says, "Guns don't kill people. People do." That's no fun, if you're a "lawmaker" -- odious name for a representative, isn't it? U.S. Representative Stephen F. Lynch (D-South Boston), "has filed a bill seeking to pull the controversial drug [painkiller Oxycontin] from the market," reported the Boston Herald Saturday, May 7. In announcing his bill, Lynch referred to a recent robbery attempt in an Arlington, Massachusetts pharmacy. Two would-be thieves showed guns and demanded the druggist's Oxy stash. Lynch did not tell what happened next, which would have suited the NRA's purposes better than his. The...

TAZEWELL, Va. - A 74-year-old man who illegally sold prescription drugs was sentenced to 70 years in prison, but the judge suspended all except 10 years of the term. Lloyd Edgar Williams Sr. pleaded guilty in January to distributing the powerful pain killer oxycodone and conspiracy to distribute. Prosecutors said Williams, who sold the drugs out of a store he ran, also was convicted of distributing oxycodone in 1991 and served a prison term. Williams' attorney argued the defendant was in poor health and any prison term would amount to a life sentence, but Judge Henry Vanover said Friday that...

Mass congressman Stephen Lynch (http://www.house.gov/lynch/) has proposed a complete ban on the drug Oxycontin.On the Blute and Scotto show yesterday he clearly implied that anyone who took the pill became instantly addicted.So because a few idiots are addicted to it, people who desperately need it should be denied their relief.He'd better ban aerosol spray paint as well, many people are addicted to "huffing" the fumes.And anyone over 40 would remember the fears about model cement in the 70'sMr. Lynch is sounding a little like Carrie Nation, leader of the temperance movement.

A gun-toting pharmacist - beloved by paying customers for his friendly banter - opened fire on an armed OxyContin robber as the two swapped lead instead of cheery hellos yesterday afternoon.No one, including two workers and a customer who were in the store at the time, was injured. Lawrence Maida Sr.'s pharmacy is just one of dozens hit in recent years by armed robbers looking for so-called ``hillbilly heroin.'' Cops say Maida's store has been robbed several times before, and this is not the first time the second-generation druggist has used a gun to run off bandits.

EDITORIAL OBSERVER Federal prosecutors in Virginia want Dr. William Hurwitz, recently convicted on 50 counts of distributing narcotics, to go to prison for life without parole when he is sentenced in mid-April. For the 50 million or so Americans who suffer from chronic pain, the fate of Dr. Hurwitz should be of some interest. He is a prominent doctor committed to aggressive treatment of pain. His behavior in some cases was inexcusable. Patients for whom he freely provided large prescriptions should, at the very minimum, have been given more close supervision. But malpractice should be cause for loss of license....

A spokeswoman at the coroner's office read to The Washington Times portions of the report, which was completed Friday. "Cocaine and OxyContin," the spokeswoman said when asked by phone what was the cause of death. When asked specifically whether there was a drug overdose, she said "yes."

TAMPA - A federal jury on Tuesday found in favor of the maker of the drug OxyContin, ruling against a former sales representative's claims that the company wanted her to break the law. With the jury's verdict, Karen White, of Lakeland, lost her lawsuit against Purdue Pharma Inc. in which she alleged she was fired Aug. 12, 2002, because she refused to break the law by aggressively pushing doctors to prescribe high doses of the potent pain pill. Attorneys for Purdue Pharma denied that the company's marketing practices were illegal, and they argued White was fired because of her poor...

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Rush Limbaugh and the American Civil Liberties Union do not agree about much, but they are in accord that the conservative radio commentator's medical records should be off-limits to prosecutors. The Florida ACLU filed court papers yesterday supporting Limbaugh's argument that investigators violated his constitutional right to privacy when they seized his medical records in November to investigate whether he violated drug laws when he purchased prescription painkillers. "It may seem odd that the ACLU has come to the defense of Rush Limbaugh," the state chapter's executive director, Howard Simon, said in a statement. "But...

Maybe he's so tied to ideology that he can't bring himself to admit that the economy is bad and people are hurting. Or maybe it was just the OxyContin talking. Wendy Glick sees life in circles. Circles that link every human being. Circles that surround and protect. Circles that mark our paths through life sometimes. Even the social circles we move in. "You know what you live," says Glick, director of The Lord's Diner downtown, meaning people too often observe the world in all of its breadth from inside their own insular world. That's why she seemed so patient in...

Prosecuting doctors for their patients' misuse of narcotics hurts people in pain Prosecutors say McLean, Virginia, physician William Hurwitz, who is on trial at the federal courthouse in Alexandria, knowingly supplied OxyContin and other narcotic painkillers to patients who sold them on the black market. "A self-proclaimed healer, he crossed the line to dealer," Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Lytle declared in his opening statement. "He thought he could hide behind the pain he treated." When Hurwitz was indicted last fall, U.S. Attorney Paul McNulty called him a "major and deadly drug dealer." Charged with 62 counts related to what prosecutors...

Forged documents. Questionable sources. A journalist out to prove her case, not the truth. A prestigious national media outlet desperate to save its reputation. In the wake of the CBS network's stunning display of media bias, questions emerge: how widespread is this phenomenon in the media and what is the effect? What recourse is available to the targets of media bias? The Media Research Center (web site) has studied the problem of media bias for years. Brent Bozell, chairman of the MRC once wrote, "With the political preferences of the press no longer secret, members of the media argued while...
