The KGB is live and well in America..

His web site is a good start.

I assume that all the other hollywood druggies get the same treatment, right? Oh wait, they use the real stuff, never mind.

Oh, there'll be joy in Moonbatville tonight.

Does this remind anyone else of Salem? Well, Salem without all that burning at the stake.

I'd like to know how many Hooeywood lefties have had their medical records pulled in "doctor shopping" investigations. Anybody check Anna Nicole Smith's medical records? She's an obvious pill fiend, and a waste of oxygen.

$30,000 dollars to defray public investigative costs?first of all the public did not violate Mr. Limbaughs medical privacy. the state attorney did. 2nd 30 grand to look at some papers? what a scam..they can have mine for half that!

More hypocrisy - "a witch hunt?" - what a sad state of affairs.

Limbaugh was caught - the same Limbaugh who said:
"Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. ... And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up."
on Oct. 5, 1995.

And you will see posts and comments frequently on this site decrying drug use, or claiming someone has "inhaled" -- yet when the fat guru of gloat gets caught it's a witch hunt.

Why did he agree to pay the $30,000 in investigate costs if he's not guilty?

because he is guilty, a fact also demonstrated by Limbaugh's agreement to stay in treatment.

...and if he's guilty - what makes this a witch hunt?

Because its off the record after 18 months You Masochist..

"Because its off the record after 18 months You Masochist..

So he plea bargained - what a surprise. The fat hypocrite rolled over...

Now what makes this a witch hunt, really -- anyone?

How about violating His civil rights for starters. this is akin to a police officer pulling someone over for no reason other then to look thru their vehicle to find something to charge Him/Her with..

Florida taxpayers are out how much for this nothingburger?

Ha Ha Ha

So the 21st century fat-ass Goebbles got a bit of a comeuppance Limbarf deserves every bit he gets, altho w a 25mil income, he isn't treated like any other lowly drug shopper nor in any style of the fashion he has demanded in the past for drug offenders.

No doubt, this Propoganda Pig Limbarf is a master of twisting reason & truth until it stands on its head.

Had Goebbles had the assisstance of Limbarf in the 1930's & 1940', Germany would have won WWII & we'd be speaking Deutsch.

Good going, Lee on the quote research.

It;s really quite revealing to see all these little piggy la-n-order hypocrites squeal & call witch hunt when LimBARF, the fat sow that he is, got ensnared in his own hypocrisy.

How Karmic!!!!

mak,
Did Godwin know you when he formulated his law of internet discourse?

Kim Priestap

Condolences on this sad, sad LimBARF Day.

You wrote,

"Drudge has the above picture on his site which may be Rush's mug shot. If so, then he took a page from the Tom DeLay playbook and smiled so as to keep the liberals from gleefully plastering it all over their websites, t-shirts, coffee mugs etc."

Not quite, but that LimBARF fat sow pic would be perfect on toilet seat lids & bedpans.

No, SCSIwuzzy

My post would have been the very 1st had I run to Wizbang at the 1st announcement of this.

The Goebbles analogy occured to me in LimBARF's early years as I listened to him twist & reweave Reality & Truth into any slimey propaganda bilge that he desired & then slime his opponents w/ his creation.

As I said above, this Fat Pig IS A MASTER. Almost makes one believe that reincarnation is the way of the Universe.

Virgo

"KGB" & "Masochist"????????

Do you ever form a coherent thought before you slobber on the keyboard?

To bad shit for brains,i beat you to it. And what is Your obsession with Nazis? could it be a little Jewish antesemitism running thru Your veins? hmmm.."

mak

I bet you creamed your shorts when you heard the news. i bet you already have some t-shirts with limbaughs mug shot all ready to sell to those illegals on their first official holiday May 1st dont you.."

mak44, the bottom-feeding, Che-worshiping traitor speaks:

"Had Goebbles had the assisstance of Limbarf in the 1930's & 1940', Germany would have won WWII & we'd be speaking Deutsch."

I think you are referring to The New York Times.

Bligwaorthy & Virgo

The total lack of any logic, or sense, for that matter, in your posts reflects, to paraphrase the Fat Sow LimBARF, that your combined IQ's barely approach room temperature.

Actually Virgo, I didn't cream my shorts. But I did drag out my Rush decaled bedpan & take a celebratory dump.

mak44, the bottom-feeding, Che-worshiping traitor:

Wow. Limbaugh really must have really hit a nerve with that "dope smoking, maggot infested, FM type" stuff.

What's hilarious is that all of mak44's ranting and raving, he looks like such an idiot that Rush's hypocrisy pales in comparison.

What's even more hilarious is this:

"How about violating His civil rights for starters. this is akin to a police officer pulling someone over for no reason other then to look thru their vehicle to find something to charge Him/Her with.."

Pulled over for no reason? You've been reading too many right-wing blogs frankfucszeroiq -- this story broke when fat boy's maid went to the tabloids with the story that her boss was abusing opiates. The DA agreed,and Rush plea-bargained.

Now, let's try again - what makes this a witch hunt?

Lee

thousands and thousands of mega-dittos to you.

In fact, the busting of the LYING FAT PIG is ditto heaven day.

Megawatt dittos!!!!!!!!!!

A political prosecution by an incredibly partisan prosecutor. Old news. Let the lefties gloat. They've had a bad week. Air America going down the tubes.

Mak44, does the 44 indicate your IQ? That seems a little high. If the senario you suggest existed. You can be assured idiots like you would have been eliminated. See there is something good about that.

Zelsdoofus

Youare the kind of "Human Debris" about whom LimBARF used to blrat.

All you sheeple wouldn't know how to go on w/o your daily noon to 3 hate hours.

Any links out there to some great Limbarf Perp-walk footage?

All you sheeple wouldn't know how to go on w/o your daily noon to 3 hate hours.

Why am I not schocked that mak44 lives on/near the left coast?
And seriously, why do you always leap to Nazi imagery? You diminish their evil and ensure any argument you are making is put on par with a toddler in mid tantrum.

Mak is a Nazipediopheliac with grand delusions of marching in the third Reich!

LEE The DA as you call him? political hack assasin is the accurate term,went into His medical files illegally..so in effect ,there is no case.

No one seem to have taken the bait, so I will link to some brief audio clips of Russ Limbaugh on 'drug losers'. I aplogize in advance for the irritating Howard Stern commentary..It was the only one I could find quickly.

Thanks Steve - exposing the hypocritical tripe that passes for right-wing commentary is always enlightening. Rush whining about drug users, priceless.

No one, including the author of this post, has offered up anything solid to support Kim's claim that this was a witch hunt. Why is that?

Any links out there to some great Limbarf Perp-walk footage?

What, you mean Limbaugh being led away in handcuffs to a waiting police car? Sorry, since he turned himself in (i.e. walked into the police station with his lawyer to go through the formalities), it looks like you're going to have to find something else to fantasize about.

In the most basic sense of the word (do as I say not as I do), then Rush is a hypocrite.

Does anyone here really think that recreational drug use and prescription pain reliever addiction is comparable at any level except the most rudimentary "they took drugs illegally" argument?

If so, then you truly exhibit how out of touch you are with the real facts here.

Did Rush do something illegal. Yup. Was there any need to expend $30K of taxpayers' money to pursue records that prove what he admitted to doing? Uh, no.

And there's your answer to the "witch hunt" question, Lee. Why go to so much expense to prove that Rush did exactly what he admitted to, unless the prosecutor was trying like crazy to find something else--that ultimately didn't exist. This obsession with finding illegal activity or embarassing facts that could damage Rush's reputation further, and ultimately (and for the prosecutor "hopefully") destroy his career.

(for further explanation, please review the Salem Witch Trials before you repost the same stupid question...perhaps if you understood what a "witch hunt" was, you'd be able to see why this is rightly classified as such)

Hey squoozy or whatever

I used Goebbles as an example of a propaganda meister who twisted lies into truth. Coincidentally, Dr. Goebbles ( he was a doc of something or other) happened to work for the previous Fuehrer.

I never meant to suggest that our dear LimBARF, who also, coincedentally, fancies himself as a doctor ((quack) of sorts, was a Nazi, as I have never heard him express any empathy for the 1st Fuehrer.

My point was simply to suggest that Goebbles & LimBARF share a common trade; namely Propagandist.

Had LimBARF been available for recruitment in the 30's & 40's, his talents could have assured a German victory in WWII. Hell, FDR likely would have fallen to the LimBARFian Sirens' sway.

TO frankfucszeroiq, or is it frankallfucszindahead

The LimBARF med record search was ultimately sustained in court, so you don't know what the hell you're babbling about.

Besides, in these days of an unfettered NSA for security at any costs, it is simply fitting, just fitting that a tink of leeway be taken w/ LimBARF's med records to help prevent this nation from becoming overrun with opiated drug addicts bloviating their bilge & bile on broadcast networks where they might have a harmful & deleterious effect on impressionable youth & on an allegedly adult audience of impressionable sheeple aka Pavlovian Puppies.

This nation faced an utterly severe, clear & present danger: that w/ the simple ring of the Doctor's bell, a rattle of a sheaf of papers or an upraised formerly-opiate-stained finger, millions of sycophants could have been sent panting for Oxycontin scripts, or opium hookahs at least as would be the case w/ thelower-income sycophants (read that: human debris).

Let me see if I can shut mak and Lee up:

RACIST! NAZI! FACIST! FAT BASTARD!

Doesn't work? Well, just taking a play from the Libtard playbook. Worth a try. That's your plan to shut up opponents. Don't dazzle 'em with brilliance, just baffle 'em with BS.

I hope you never get serious back or other problems. I have a friend that sat around in a drug induced stupor from these legal prescriptions for a year before having a knee replacement. He could take 3-4 times the dosage that he had for Vicodin, etc. and still not have relief.

I've heard all kind of screaming about Bush violating 'privacy rights' while trying to find terrorists by not getting warrants from FISA courts, yet a fishing expedition into medical records, which is never supposed to happen, by a political prosecutor, is OK just because it was LimBARF.

he LimBARF med record search was ultimately sustained in court, so you don't know what the hell you're babbling about.

How many times have political appointed courts been overturned? Contrary to the spin that you try to put on it, this is over. He plead 'not guilty'. Keep his nose clean, and the prosecutor will drop the charges in 18 months. Without the trial that you so desperately want. End of story.

Keep babling. You amuse me. Just take a deep breath every once in a while or you will stroke out.

Does anyone here really think that recreational drug use and prescription pain reliever addiction is comparable at any level except the most rudimentary "they took drugs illegally" argument?

Is there another argument? Does there need to be?

I believe the basic argument against illegal aliens -- however much they may contribute to our way of life -- is that they are here illegally: they have broken the law. Or do you not find illegality a persuasive legal argument?

Did Rush do something illegal. Yup. Was there any need to expend $30K of taxpayers' money to pursue records that prove what he admitted to doing? Uh, no.

I haven't heard Rush bleating about being forced to shell this $30k out. Just who are you taking issue with, Rush or the law enforcement establishment?

I like the idea that, if some cop is chasing a conservative lawbreaker down the street somewhere, the cop is now a lefty moonbat; before he laced on his shoes, he was one of Our Boys.

Love your drug war, BTW.

Hey Jamie

You are the perfect example of the LimBARFian method of standing Reason on its head.

Following your LimBARFian logic, one could easily say that, if all that you propound were valid, then the grossest example of a Salem Witch Hunt was the Right-wingnut extremest incessant hunt of the Clintons for 8 years, ultimately resulting in entrapment in a lie that would never had been uttered but for the relentless witch hunt.

All this, not at a cost of 30K, but rather 10's of millions of taxpayers' dollars & at the cost of an Administration's inability to devote full attention to its elected charge of duty. This was foisted on Our Nation by hordes hating fanatics, petty and hateful GOP pols and a self-serving Special Prosecutor who usurped his initial charge in order to pursue the Clintons in an infitnitely more vicious mode than the wickedly fanatic Javert.

And now that modern day Javert, for his reward, sits as the Dean of the Pepperdine Law School, no doubt in the furtherance of his perversion of the concept of Law.

Subsequently, the Javert persecution was followed by a Republican Witch-dunking impeachment, led by none other than the GOP's very own congressional Javert, their most brilliant beacon of Propriety & Moral Behavior , Tom DeLay, at a great National trauma & National cost for a single charge of perjury resulting from an all-too human trait that most any person would have succumbed to to protect themselves and/or their family from opprobrium.

If your lame and deceitful refutation above isn't THE CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF LIMBARFIAN HYPOCRISY & LIMBARFIAN ILL-LOGIC , then "hypocrisy" is a non-existent behavior.

You LimBARFian salivating puppies are beyond rational and intellectual redemption.

"Why go to so much expense to prove that Rush did exactly what he admitted to, unless the prosecutor was trying like crazy to find something else--that ultimately didn't exist."

1) Fat boy plead not guilty. The fight was on at that point.

2) Once it (the details of rush's drig abuse) was out in open the DA couldn't ignore it, no could he/she? They had to pursue the matter.

3) I suspect it was so expensive to investigate because fat boy kept lying and putting up road blocks. That's why it was required that he pay $30,000 in investigation costs.

4. Fat boy is GUILTY, and that's why he paid the $30,000 and agreed to stay in rehab, rather than fight the charges. Rush has the money to fight the charges, and could have raised millions from his worshipers to fight any false charges.

btw - rehab isn't necessary unless you have a drug problem. The hypocrisy of the guru of gluttony is yet another shining example of the moral low road taken by this clown. If he had plead guilty I might have a half-ounce of respect for this clown -- but for him to maintain his innocence makes the entire right-wing moral-majority leadership the laughing stock of the world.

wav_man-

the brghtest shining example of LimBARFian logic and Pavlovian response!!!!

Guess the bell was ringing & here you are, salivating on cue as the Defender Sycophant.

You slobbered: "How many times have political appointed courts been overturned?"

One critical incident where a politically appointed court was not & could not be overturned was the Republican infested Supreme Court that stole the 2000 election from the American Voter and appointed this pig of a president.

If you want to speak of political courts, cast the stones at the Court that committed the ultimate political act and devalued American Democracy and its Constitution.

to Lee & Astigafa

Yis indeed a joyous time to proclaim:

"Mega-Dittos" to one another & in the words of Tiny Tim, "Merry Dittos to all.".

Hmmm.

This is a major loss for the prosecutor and this agreement was solely to cover his ass.

If the prosecutor had anything of a case, anything at all, he'd have gone to trial. But without any evidence of a crime to pursue a case now he had to convince Limbaugh to an agreement that will at least allow the prosecutor to save face somewhat.

Anyone who thinks this is a loss for Rush is a fool as anyone who has had to deal with prosecutors knows who ultimately won in this deal.

Mak said:

And you accuse me of Pavlovian responses. DING!

You are a perfect example of being blinded by pure hatred. You've convinced me though, I won't vote for Bush in '08.

wav_man

BTW I hope your pitiful opiated friend never went so far as " to assume room temperature."

Heard on the grapevine that the MahaRushee's next change of broadcast locale will be relocate his Excellence In Bamboozlement Network to a very large poppy plantation in Mazar e Sharif, the poppy hinterland of Afghanistan, where he can propagandize while sitting before his Golden Opium Hookah, holding its hose in his presently opiate-stained fingers as he belches forth distortions of History & Politics, in the mode of his opiated logic, into his Golden Microphone on his Excellence In Bamboozlement Network.

He has already made arrangement for an endless supply of poppy sap from his opium runner/ housecleaner whom he hopes is not a Taliban sympathizer.

ed-of Mr.ed fame?

No, that can't be right, as Mr. Ed was a horse, not a talking ass!

You drooled on your keyboard: "If the prosecutor had anything of a case, anything at all, he'd have gone to trial. But without any evidence of a crime to pursue a case now he had to convince Limbaugh to an agreement that will at least allow the prosecutor to save face somewhat."

The beauty of that illogic is what? That the poor maligned & opiated MahaRushee LimBARF was so in an opiated stupor that he coughed up $30K in spite of the fact that he had been falsely persecuted. And his innocence is reflected by having to submit to a humiliating periodic piss test over 18 months?

And then there's the matter of the multi-millions that he surely shelled out to his lawyer to out-maneuver a new striped suit when he was innocent.

What an appalling price for a perfectly innocent mpropagandist to pay!

This can only be the measure of a man so befuddled w/ opiates that he acquiesced to persecution w/ a sizeable fine & a huge lawyer's retainer. He'll have one helluva a time passing his piss-in-a-bottle tests.

You LimBARFian puppy-sycophants are more mind-pithed than I ever imagined.

mak44

Wha??? Your anger is overcoming your ability to express a rational thought. Take a deep breath.

Keep it up. Like I said before, you amuse me. The raw emotion overcomes any logic that you might be capable of. We all need to be reminded of what we need to oppose in a logical, consice manner.

And no, my "pitiful opiated friend" never did assume room temperature. Finally, after a year and a half of foot dragging, the doctors at the V.A. finally replaced his knee. You see, he was originally injured in service to his country, and aggravated by years of physically demanding work. He wasn't able to go back to his old, physically demanding job, but he is fine. Your compassion for him is only exceeded by your arrogance.

It's like I said: joy in Moonbatville.

Is it just me, or does it sound like many of the lefties won't be happy until El Rushbo is executed for his crimes?

Not broad enough. They won't be satisfied until talk radio is shut down, right wing blogs are silenced, and you and I are bound and gagged.

Then all will be right in the world. Freedom of speech for all, as long as it doesn't offend their view and sensibilities.

wav_man

The Bell rang & you salivated on your keyboard:

"Not broad enough. They won't be satisfied until talk radio is shut down, right wing blogs are silenced, and you and I are bound and gagged."

Not one LimBARF antagonist on this thread posted any such bilge. Your minimal, sycophantic brain is simply formulating ( or is the word, "foaming")w/ the sort of bilge that you have been trained like a dog to respond to by your prating Svengali the Fat. This of course is what happens when you yield up the few neurons you have to a Meister Propagandist.

And again,

Wav_man, you further slavered on your keyboard:

"Freedom of speech for all, as long as it doesn't offend their view and sensibilities."

Not even remotely did any poster on this thread suggest such a thing. What you have not quite grasped from your MahaRushee is simply that the MahaRushee alone is the Meister of fabricating out of whole clothe ( and he does that quite well) and you minions are simply meant to do your duty and swallow the Meister's regurgitated chyme.

Minions w/ minimal neurons should leave the propaganda fabrication to the expert. You were intended to listen & swallow.

Is it just me, or does it sound like many of the lefties won't be happy until El Rushbo is executed for his crimes?

Pity the poor lefty moonbats: they've been trying for over 4 years to gin up a scandal, but look at their meager results: Enron went nowhere, Worldcom went nowhere, the 'Downing Street Memo' disappeared, Abramoff is fast falling off the radar, 'Fitzmas' is turning out to be a bust, Air America is hemorrhaging what little audience share it had, which wasn't much to begin with, so they're grasping at whatever straw they possibly can, no matter how weak and flimsy, and waving it around like a prize trophy. Ye gods, how pathetic.

Is it just me, or does it sound like many of the lefties won't be happy until El Rushbo is executed for his crimes?

You've got it. Rush Limbaugh has declared his moral and spiritual superiority to everyone left of the ultimate right for more years than you've been wearing long pants, and now the fucker is in the criminal justice system. The accuser stands accused; those who exalt themselves will be humbled. The nail that sticks up will be hammered down, and now it's Rush's turn.

Don't sweat it. Some noted liberal savant will step up and make a fool of him or herself presently, and then you can get some payback. Meanwhile, shut the fuck up and accept the fact that the guy has committed crimes, and that the cops, having once tasted blood, will keep coming back until it's all gone.

mak44:

DING!
Your bell keeps ringing! You must respond!

From astigafa:

I love how concise and rational these responses continue to be. Keep them coming! You are revealing your true selves and your hatred and bile.

wav_man

The ultimate practioner of Hate has been your Bilge Meister, Rush the Oinker.

This fat sow has practiced Clinton hate since 1992 & it continues now even though Clinton is 6 years gone.

For you sycophantic LimBARF puppies to cry "hate" when your Liar & Twister of the Truth has been the Ultimate Distiller of Hate for his entire career is beyond ludicrous. But it is the Ultimate in Hypocrisy. In that, the Propaganda Meister has trained you superbly. I am sure the MahaRushee smiles favorably when he sees how easily you all have swallowed his regurgitated chyme as you foam & spew out Absurdity..

Ok mac44, I'll respond to your amusing pontifications:

This of course is what happens when you yield up the few neurons you have to a Meister Propagandist.

Thank you for your accessment of me. But I'll put my IQ score up against your anyday. I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but I know how to think for myself, not regurgitate the garbage that you spew all the time. I think it says more about you than me.

What you have not quite grasped from your MahaRushee is simply that the MahaRushee alone is the Meister of fabricating out of whole clothe ( and he does that quite well) and you minions are simply meant to do your duty and swallow the Meister's regurgitated chyme.

No, what you have not grasped is that what Limbaugh does is express his opinion, which he does well. He gets under your skin, doesn't he? I am free to listen, agree when I do, and disagree when I don't. Plus, I have an "off" switch on my radio that I use when I get tired of something that he or any other pontificator says. Apparently other folks didn't by radios with that switch, or failed to read the instructions on theirs. As to the statement that he fabricates, I assume you are saying, everything out of whole cloth, yes there are some things that he fabricates. Intentionally to get a rise out of the likes of you. It takes a keen mind to see through the satire.

Minions w/ minimal neurons should leave the propaganda fabrication to the expert. You were intended to listen & swallow.

No, myrmidons like you were intended to spout the BS that you continually spew. The rest of us are free to think, accept what we see as reasonable, and reject the rest. It's a beautiful thing.

You regurgitated on your keyboard: "You are revealing your true selves and your hatred and
bile."

Read your bible, you heathen....

God created man. And all was Good and God was pleased. And then LimBARF sateth naked on his fat ass in Eden & lookethed around, asking, " And what can I create in appreciation to My Lord?"

And he beganeth to ruminate and fulminate and he foamethed as he belched and pontificated and then he speweth forth from his vast girth the first voluminous river of bile to appeareth on Earth. And he looked around at the fuming green river he thst he had brought forth and he was pleased and said. It is good."
(Genesis, Verse 1)

Oops, "buy" in the last post, not by. This wireless keyboard skips sometimes.

From the wise keyboard of mac44:

Read your bible, you heathen....

Funny, I thought mine read in Genesis 1 "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth..." I'll go look.

You must be reading from 1st Parenthesis. [I don't care who you are, that's funny right there now.]

wav_man

slobbering again on his keyboard: "Thank you for your accessment of me. But I'll put my IQ score up against your anyday."

I imagine that from where you come, you intended to say "yurin"" rather than "your" as "your" is an adjective, with no noun to modify in the instance above.

Further to your tantrum above, I never leveled an accusation that you regurgitated my garbage all the time that you appear to claim. Gawd knows, I wouldn't count on you to regurgitate anything that I said. But from your comments, you've been mightily lapping up the LimBARF bilge, and apparently for quite some time.

Enron went nowhere, Worldcom went nowhere, the 'Downing Street Memo'disappeared Abramoff is fast falling off the radar'Fitzmas' is turning out to be a bust" I don't know where you've been this week or what is worse where you expect to be reading next week, but stay seated OregonMuse. These stories are not over by a long shot until the fat lady or Abramoff , Liddy, Lay, Rove...are finished singing or denying.

mak44 spouted:

I imagine that from where you come, you intended to say "yurin"" rather than "your" as "your" is an adjective, with no noun to modify in the instance above.

No. I intended to say 'your'. Some other folks might say "yurin" "hisin" "herin" "theirin", but I don't. I haven't run in to too many people around here that talk like that. Maybe 30 years ago, but not now.

I suppose you are from an area where everyone is morally superior in intelect and thought. At least that's what you think. Your posts indicate that. I'm proud to be from where I am. I was born and grew up in a suburb of Greenville, South Carolina. Spent time in Columbia, South Carolina and Augusta, Georgia. I now live in an Atlanta suburb, northwest of the city. My job takes me to different places around the world, I spent a couple of months in El Salvador in 2004. Spent almost 2 months in Mexico last year. This year, I've only spent a couple of days in Mexico. Looks like this year will be mostly the US and Canada. Everywhere I've been, they have asked me where I grew up. I'm proud to tell them.

Regarding my 'tantrum' as you describe, I've been laughing most of the afternoon. Not mad at all. Sounds like your house has been the place that has been unbearable, from the tone of your comments.

This exercise has definitely proved the old adage, "Never wrestle with a pig. It will only frustrate the pig and annoy you." Except, on second thought, I haven't been annoyed. It has been rather informative seeing you spout all the platitudes and talking points. OK. Time for you to go get another glass of Kool-Aid.

The fact is this wasn't a witch hunt-- Rush got off easy, and the post author's contention that this was a witch hunt is as hypocritical as Limbaugh's anti-drug stand. Repeated attempts to get Kim to explain her "witch hunt" claim have gone unanswered.

No suprise -- apparently, judging from the comments made by Rush supporters at Wizbang!, the morally-bankrupt travel in packs.

Don't sweat it. Some noted liberal savant will step up and make a fool of him or herself presently, and then you can get some payback.

Al Frankin has done that repeatedly.

From Lee:

...he post author's contention that this was a witch hunt is as hypocritical as Limbaugh's anti-drug stand.

Limbaugh has stated publicly that he hasn't commented on drugs on the show since '95. That's the latest reference that I've seen on any post this weekend. An AP reporter referenced it yesterday in an article. He states that this was before he got hooked.

As far as the "witch hunt" that you seem to be fixated on, you would be up in arms if an open ended warrant were issued for a prosecutor to go on a fishing expedition through medical records, or even a house or car if it were you or anyone else. But if it's "Fat boy" as you refer, or LimBARF as mak44 constantly does, or maybe if it was 'BusHitler' or Cheney or Hannity or another prominent conservative, it's OK. Violations of the law are OK if they are against these "lawbreakers", as many of your political persuasion see it.

Ah, Cloninger

So now your're into MahaRushee's Guns of April!!!!!

And to wave_man

To quote some hate-spewing pig from somewhere, I've been having more fun than a human being ought to be allowed to have.

You got my having the glass of Kool Aid just a bit backwards. From your writings, I would imagine you could again flood the Gulf Coast with processed Kool Aid when you finally have to piss.

Between your "yurins" & that thar's" (lol) I imagine hawg wrestling is far more common in ur neck of the woods.

My point simply is, that when someone spends a 3 hours/day hate listening, followed by another 3 hours/day of getting Insanitized, one's ability to think for himself is hopelessly skewed. Not much room for original thought in an environment like that.

While you yourself may not spend quite that much time engaged in 1984 hate periods, the fact that you spend some time there is clearly reflected in the way you think.

BTW--Orwell fucked up & named his book 20 years too early.

On a more personal level, my name is Michael. I offer that, in that your last post gave a tink of a hint of being a little more personal than previously. It almost seemed that you might still be human. lol

mak44, no, that's hu-mon. I left the ranks of human long ago. LOL

Enjoyed the afternoon, Michael. Some time it's good to work those brain cells. They need the exercise. Now it's time to turn them to some other activity. This keyboard is like a drug, you know. Drawn to the monitor like a moth to a flame. Geez, I've got stuff to do. TTYL, maybe sooner.

These stories are not over by a long shot until the fat lady or Abramoff , Liddy, Lay, Rove...are finished singing or denying.

Just keep telling yourself this. It's probably the only way to keep your head from exploding with mindless, impotent rage. So far you guys are batting like, near zero, so hope is all you have to live on.

And holy pete, those links were worthless. Two of them to the home page of a lefty moonbat site? C'mon, you can do better than that.

BTW, Michael, 1984 is on the reading list in the near future. Haven't read it since High School, and I'm 3 days younger than dirt. Right now I'm finishing up on my reread of Atlas Shrugged. And it's Joel.

TTYL

Ahhh LEE what "Crimes" praytell are you refering to repeatedly ? the only thing that You alledge is "doctor shopping"singular. oooh just the words quiver with the smack of illegality! doctor shopping? to hell with you or anybody else if their going to tell Me what doctor i can or cant go to ? or how many either! if i want something to take away the pain , its none of your F-ing business! so f-off and go to hell f-stain.

wave_man

Joel-good to meet you.

C'mon man, Atlas Shrugged?????? You'll never learn to think when you read shit like that. That's like doing the prequel to Rush & Insanity.

BTW- believe it or not, I was once foolish enough to have been a Goldwaterite in '64, just like my mentor Hillary. lol Back in those centuries, if a conservative fucked up the world, it still had toime to recover.

I even lobbied my Goldwater campaign work to get an appointment from my State Sen. as a page in the Ohio Senate and parlayed that into Senate Jopurnal Clerk.

As Viet Nam slowly worked its wonders I began to wise up & soon was playing a ledt-wing LimBarf to younger wet-behind-the-ears pages. Caused a bit of controversy, biting my patron in the back.

TTYL-send Rush a get-outta-jail soon card; he might be feelin' a bit wounded, but then, he'd never admit it.

The man who waves said:
"As far as the "witch hunt" that you seem to be fixated on, you would be up in arms if an open ended warrant were issued for a prosecutor to go on a fishing expedition through medical records, or even a house or car if it were you or anyone else. But if it's "Fat boy" as you refer, or LimBARF as mak44 constantly does, or maybe if it was 'BusHitler' or Cheney or Hannity or another prominent conservative, it's OK. Violations of the law are OK if they are against these "lawbreakers", as many of your political persuasion see it."

Is it your contention that open-ended warrants are not issued routinely? Is it Rush's contention? Were that the case, wouldn't Rush be anxious to prove he was unfairly prosecuted? Wouldn't he be reluctant to pay $30,000 investigation costs? Wouldn't he want to prove his innocence?

Of course he would.

He hasn't.

As to your persecution complex - get a grip. Rush got off easy; easier than he should have imho.

CurlyLarryMoe - your ignorance as to what "Doctor shopping" means is embarassing. Come back after you learn what it means, and we can discuss it.

I've tangled with many oxycodone freaks, and its a tough addiction to treat. Denial and subterfuge are common traits that are difficult to deal with. I am not against appropriate consequences for these devious actions.

Now whether that's the case here will be hard to tell = Rush could have as easily copped a plea and paid the 30k to avoid the nuisance of defending himself at trial as he could have agreed to an appropriate punishment. It doesn't matter to me. He's got the spotlight on him, is at least on the face of it committed to rehab and the whole world is watching. It is hoped the DA offers the same resources to thwart all the oxy addicts in his jurisdiction. I'm sure most doctors and pharmacists would be overjoyed.

All this vicious diatribe has nothing to do with RL but everything to do with adolescent hormone storm and immature baiting - blog space is cheap but its still a sad thing to waste.

LEE
I know what it means.its a loophole for politically motivated DA,S to go after and persecute political opponents,whom they cannot beat in a fair election or in the arena of ideas.."

Lee,

I don't wave, I make waves for a living. Thus, it's "the man who makes waves" 8-}

These are excerpts from a summary of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of
1996 (HIPAA) [the law that currently covers medical privacy]:

Disclosures to law enforcement officials

The Privacy Rule includes a standard for disclosures to law enforcement officials. The standard permits the following types of disclosures:

* Pursuant to a legal process or otherwise required by law, including disclosures of certain types of wounds, and disclosures in response to court orders, subpoenas, and administrative requests. Administrative requests must be specific and limited, relevant to a legitimate ongoing investigation, and must demonstrate that de-identified information (that is, information without individual identifiers) cannot be used.
* Limited information disclosures for the location of a fugitive, suspect, material witness or missing person.
* Information about an individual who is or is believed to be a victim of crime if the individual agrees to the disclosure or, under specific rules, if the individual is unable to agree or object.
* Information about decedents.
* Information about crime on the premises of the covered entity if there is a good faith belief that the disclosed PHI is evidence of a crime.
* Limited disclosure in emergencies in order to alert law enforcement about the commission of a crime.

Additional disclosures to law enforcement officials are permitted under other parts of the Privacy Rule. For example, disclosure is permitted if a covered entity believes that an individual may pose serious threat to health and safety and the disclosure may help law enforcement authorities reduce the harm or apprehend the individual.

Although disclosures to law enforcement authorities may be made without individual authorization and, in some cases, without giving the individual an opportunity to agree or object, such disclosures generally become part of Accounting for Disclosures that an individual can request from a covered entity. If a law enforcement official requests that law enforcement-related disclosures not be listed in the Accounting for a specified period of time, the entity providing the Accounting must suspend the individual's right to see a listing of such disclosures.

[snip]

Regulations dealing with substance abuse are more stringent then the Privacy Rule when it comes to disclosures related to law enforcement. Information related to substance abuse may not be disclosed to law enforcement officials without individual authorization. [empahsis added}

Note the last sentence. I'm no authority on HIPPA, but I saw how protective the medical records department of a hospital that I did a few weeks IT work for under contract [I'm not a doctor but I play one on TV ;-}]. If I understand the last paragraph correctly, No DA or court has the authority to dig through your or anyone else's records without the authorization of the individual being investigated. That's where I conclude that it was a 'witch hunt' with an open ended warrant. It was a violation of Federal Law.

Perhaps there is someone more versed on HIPPA than you and I that can shed some light on this.

The laughable, semi-literate Trinity, LarryCurlyMoe who slobbers:

"if i want something to take away the pain , its none of your F-ing business! so f-off and go to hell f-stain."

My, my, you multipersonmaniac, or are you the triple-headed hydra w/ each head sharing a 1/3 of a brain?

Your hypocrisy precedes you as I am sure you don't share your above view when it comes to medical marijuana and those who would like the benefit from it.

But then, hyprocrisy is your standard & w/ 3 of you, that goes triply so. Do each of your hydra heads have at least 1 neuron apiece or have they withered w/ 6 hours/day of incessant propagandizing and Insanitizing?

Mak

You nonsensesical neanderthal! i view medical marijuana the same way, if I was using it because I was in a lot of pain,it,s no ones business but mine period. i have always felt this way and You clearly have no idea when it comes to your wiled accusations.

Joel

Don't you think that a man as proud as our PM (propaganda Meister) would flat out refuse to settle if what your read on HIPPA is accurate? And what kind of a high-powered attorney is Black to let that one slip by? Amazing that the MahaRushee is not suing for malpractice. Common sense would indicate that there may be a clinker here-else the PM would not needlessly give his enemies a sword along w/ a 30K payoff & 18 months of humiliating piss-checks when he had otherwise been so ignobly violated. Wouldn't the Proud Limbarf show his sycophants the light rather than caving? Tsk Tsk Besides the world's biggest hypocrite, he appears to be the world's biggest coward. No path of light for those Pavlovian slaverers to follow.

PS I'm trying to be a tad more gentle-hope you can see it.

BTW skip the conclusion of Atlas Shrugged. It's way too l;ong for the point it's attempting to make. And anyhow, you've already been vaccinated too much as it is for your own good. Get on to 1984 as you mentioned & try out some new thought. But be sure to keep your reading of it on the QT lest you disillusion your close circle of puppy-mayes. lol

BTW Joel-you are right on ` thing-this is so addicting esp when a click of "refresh" & you're back in the milieu.

Speaking of addicting, it almost makes me empathize with the Grand Master of Bamboozlement except that I hate him so much for what he has done to the minds of people like you. lol

Hey LCM you triple-headed hydra

you"re slobbering on the boards again as you write:

"You clearly have no idea when it comes to your wiled accusations..."

I am curious: did you mean that as in "wiled animals" or as in "wiley" w/ a typo? You repetively type faster than you think, but then that could still be just hunt & peck typing, based on the lack of evidence that you do indeed think rather than bluster & rant.

LCM as in the triple headed trinity LarryCurlyMoe

You've chosen a trio of morons for your "user" so why get upset when your limitations are referenced.

Or, perhaps, given your utter inability to think, did you think they wer 3 Nobel Laureates? I'll bet you did.

I am doing nothing on this thread other than practicing your hero-leader's methods: make a mockery of everything and then exploit it. It ought to be familiar because you listen to it all the time w/ LimBARF & Insanity.

The moral of the story: when the Phoe shits, wear it.

Michael,
You've got it wrong, Limbaugh didn't make me this way. I was real interested in politics in elementary school starting in the 5th grade. Almost voted for Carter in '76 in my first election, got caught up in the smile [notice I said almost, saw the light about a week before the election]. My Dad used to ride me about my political bent- he was a southern Democrat- but he told me about 15 years ago that I had been right all along. He's more conservative than I am, I lean libertarian, but I disagree with the direction of the Libertarian party, so I work in a different direction.

You said

Don't you think that a man as proud as our PM (propaganda Meister) would flat out refuse to settle if what your read on HIPPA is accurate? And what kind of a high-powered attorney is Black to let that one slip by? Amazing that the MahaRushee is not suing for malpractice.

Doesn't surprise me at all. Major corporations settle lawsuits all the time without admitting guilt, and many times they are not. It's cheaper and better publicity to just settle. And Limbaugh is a major corporation, in essence.

Think about it, the blogsphere and the antique media will be abuzz with this for this weekend, and the news shows tomorrow will address the issue. Just look at the attention that this thread has on just this blog. But in a few days, the media and the politicos will move on to the next big thing. Besides, gas prices are going to steal the spotlight again sooner rather than later. A trial drags on for months, even years. In 18 months, baring further developments or a violation of the agreement, it will all be over, with the county pocketing $30g and Limbaugh with a dismissed case and a 'Not Guilty' plea. Using the same reasoning that you used, if the DA did violate the HIPPA regs, he's more than happy to agree to this settlement. $30g is a pittance for Limbaugh, cheaper than legal fees for a trial.

RE: Atlas Shrugged, too late, I started last weekend and I'm on the next to last chapter. I'm amazed that I started to read it again as it came into the news about the movie rights being sold yesterday.

Joel-- in some ways I am like you, but in reverse. I grew up as a would-be John Bircher in a family, where the careless mention of FDR by name would bring an onset of ranting by my father for the better part of an everning. I was indoctrinated until I encountered a history prof who forced me to think and a left-leaning landlady/university professor in her 60's & in the forefront of campus politics.

She said one night as we argued endlessly, "If you're so damned conservative now at your age, what the hell are you going to be like when you reach my age?"

There wasn't much room left to move except fascism, given the state of my political philosophy at that time.

I have a pretty good idea of how the thinking goes on both sides because I started out about as far right as one can be w/o brandishing a swastika or wearing an Iron Cross and I am ashamed to admit that, at the time of Kennedy's assassination, I thought the country was better off for having been saved from Communism. It's hard to start out much lower than that. It's been a long way outta a hole like that but I made it years ago.

'68 was my 1st election & I was so pissed about Viet Nam by then that I was going to vote for Nixon out of protest... that is, until I thought about the Supreme Court implications of that kind of foolishness and I changed my mind. The Court has been on a slow descent ever since Nixon's appointments until it is now nothing but a reflection of the darker side of humanity, for the most part.

BTW The history of the Supreme Court reflects, that over time & as small-mindedness & the iron death grip of conservatism has been breached, it has been a powerful force for change when no other part of our government would move, Unfortunately the times in between those flashes of brilliance have too often lasted longer than a lifetime and many of our forebears have suffered greviously for the glacial pace. This present court is a glacier across the path of human advancement for the next 30-40 years & this nation and this world cannot sit by & twiddle their thumbs til a mid-century wakeup call at last occurs. By then it will be too late.

Apologies to others for the diversion.

Ah, Cloninger
So now your're into MahaRushee's Guns of April!!!

Never heard of it, sorry.

Consider that Rush just donated $250K to a favorite charity of his, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

$30K is chump change for him ... and proves nothing about guilt or innocence.

And, which is worse ... a conservative talk-show host getting caught in "hypocricy", or a major political party who implicitly endorses the following as a platform:

We'll guarantee your right to ...
... get stoned ...
... get your jollies ...
... get a free Band-aid ...
... get a check ...
... and "get by" ...

... by taking your right to get ahead, as we ignore your right to live

There is a big difference between feeding an addiction to pain medication that was created after serious surgery, and giving the ol' wink-and-nod to recreational drug use, even just by commenting on "inhalation".

And, as for medical marajuana ... prove that it is safe and effective to the FDA, just like any other drug ... and you can also denounce the abuse of that "medicine" for recreational purposes, while you're at it -- for if more people agree with you, it may make it easier to get the research done to prove (or disprove) the usefulness of medical marajuana.

BTW, all Rush did for me was to reinformce what I had already observed and discerned ... which was refreshing when you have been immersed in the MSM information sea, and selectively spoon-fed only those parts of the truth that line up with the Utopian/hedonistic worldview they consider "enlightened", but is instead lacking in even simple wisdom.

Professing to be wise, they proved to be fools -- and many still are. OTOH ...

... we won't be fooled again.

Hmmmm.

@ mak44

No, that can't be right, as Mr. Ed was a horse, not a talking ass!

sigh.

You are a complete idiot you know that right?

Why did Rush agree to pay $30k? Because that gives the prosecutor some way to keep his ass covered and it would amount to far less than what Rush is currently paying Black per week.

Dumbass.

A whole fucking page of idiot comments without one single redeeming element. And all by you mak44.

You realise that people mostly just ignore you right?

... it has been a powerful force for change when no other part of our government would move,

Ignoring Dred Scott for a moment ...

Leftist Translation 1: it is quite all right for 9 people to override the Constitutional separation-of-powers and legislate from the bench, if it furthers the Leftist agenda.

Leftist Translation 2: President Bush was truly elected, not selected ... and these 9 justices were simply assuring the integrity of the election process, by preventing ex post facto alterations of the election laws by the Florida courts. Please accept our apologies for dragging this nation through a month of indecision ... and for undermining this duly-elected President for the last five-plus years.

Seems pretty simple really. Rush needs to square what he's been saying with what he's been doing.

Kind of like quite a few Democrat's votes and their statements regarding the War on Terror.

It's not what you say, it's what you do...

Yoo-hoo, wave_man:

Limbaugh has stated publicly that he hasn't commented on drugs on the show since '95.

Find out when he said this: "The FDA says there's no -- zilch, zero, nada -- shred of medicinal value to the evil weed marijuana. This is going to be a setback to the long-haired, maggot-infested, dope-smoking crowd."

When did the FDA say this? Days ago, Apr. 21. Are you really that dumb?

astigfa,
I just said that he had not commented since '95. I guess I should have prefaced that with before his addiction came up. No, I didn't hear his comment on the FDA story. I don't listen all the time. But it is a comment on the FDA announcement, and on an illegal substance, not on abuse and addiction, caused by a medical problem, to a highly addictive legal substance. I guess he has no right to say anything, on any subject, in your opinion.

Before you start accusing me of agreeing with the comment, I don't. I think the FDA is full of it on this subject. And no, I don't smoke it, even though I have glaucoma. Never had to dodge that I didn't inhale and I didn't enjoy it, because I have never tried it, even though I have friends that have, and use it now.

The war on drugs is big business. Monies could be better spent on treatment than enforcement and incarceration, IMHO. But there's a lot of difference between abuse of clearly illegal substances and becoming addicted to a substance legally prescribed in good faith.

BenJCarter said,

It's not what you say, it's what you do...

Add him to the list.

Another "law and order" guy who wants to "lock 'em all up and throw away the key", just found an exception. Himself.

Hippo-crite!!!

They should sieze this Eastern elite's NYC Penthouse.

So wave-man,

Rush says he hasn't made a comment about drugs on his show since 1995.
And you believe him.

Between you and Rush, only one of you believes ANYTHING that comes out of his mouth.
That would be you, wave-man.
