GOP refutes Limbaugh

Palm Beach Post Editorial
Friday, January 9, 2004


On Wednesday, the very conservative Republican who is Florida's attorney general urged the Legislature to create a computer network that he believes will allow the state to better track abuse of prescription painkillers.

On Wednesday, the very conservative Republican state senator who is sponsoring the bill urged the Legislature to do the same.

On Wednesday, the state's drug czar -- who was appointed by the very conservative Republican governor -- urged the Legislature to do the same.

All of them acknowledged that they were trying to capitalize on the publicity surrounding the very conservative talk-radio host who is under investigation for "doctor-shopping," fraudulently obtaining exessive amounts of prescription painkillers. So were all these very conservative Republicans also "singling out" Rush Limbaugh?

1. people should not go to jail for using drugs

people SHOULD go to jail for rampant hypocrisy though

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. While I agree on principle, and the war on drugs is a

failure

In his case, as soon as he is found guilty by a jury of his peers, he should be thrown up the river and have the book thrown at him... this is what he advocated for years

But as I said, AS SOON AS HE IS FOUND GUILTY.. I am not going to pass judgement before that...

Though the charges do not only mean using drugs

The class one felony of money laundering is a fed charge and it is just a 15-30 in the slammer... they prove it, the judge has no leeway and I will add, there goes ALL his property... from the trailer trash, back to the trailer trash.. poetic in a way.

2. He's become a liability to the scum

so they're throwing him to the wolves.... Can't have America's most famous racist junkie on the bandwagon for folks to see...

"FALSTAFF: My king! my Jove! I speak to thee, my heart!

KING HENRY IV: I know thee not, old man: fall to thy prayers;
How ill white hairs become a fool and jester!
I have long dream'd of such a kind of man,
So surfeit-swell'd, so old and so profane;
But, being awaked, I do despise my dream. "

Henry IV, part 2, Act 5, Scene 5

4. Rush will just have to face the fact that Everyones against him.

Were all coming for you Rush!

Liberals, Conservatives, Republicans, Yoots, everybody, even Jesse Jackson and Bill CLinton's Penis!

"We know everything so you better hide and scream and bitch and moan and blame everyone else for for your addiction to the crap that you spew out of your own mouth, your addiction to your own ego!"

If you ask me Oxycotin was just a symptom to his megalomania.
