\_ And disinterest among the non-ditto-heads approaches infinity.
\_ Indeed. When anyone *else* auctions something to raise close to
$1M for charity, it's a lead story....
\_ Cite, please. That, or drop trou.
\_ You've gotta be kidding. This is a sky-is-blue thing. Go
hit google for 3 seconds. Take off the hate blinders.
\_ Just writing this is more time than I intend to waste
on anything having to do with Limbaugh.
\_ I'll snipe, but I refuse to learn anything!
\_ What exactly is the PP supposed to be learning?
Limbaugh is usually full of shit, arguably a
dans is usually full of shit, arguably a
Rush Limbaugh is usually full of shit, arguably a
hypocrite, and surrounded by yes-men and
sycophants. Why would anyone sensible waste his

that Limbaugh produces to find the occasional
thing he gets or does right? -dans
\_ Limbaugh is the Colbert of the convervatives.
\_ Regardless of whom or what it concerns, saying
"x is not true!", "Umm, of course x is true,
look it up.", "I refuse to look it up! You're
a poo-poo head!", is dumb. period.
\_ No, sorry that is not the way it works.
The person making the extraordinary claim
has to back it up with facts. If I claim
that the moon is made of green cheese and
someone disputes it, my response should
not be "just Google it, asshat." The truth
is that charity auction raise millions
all the time with barely any notice at all.
The Napa Valley wine auction does it every
year.

ever heard of:

You and Rush have an overdeveloped sense
of your own indignation, but I guess that
is the whole Right Wing schtick.
\_ I'm not calling RL a poo-poo head. I'm
saying he's full of shit, i.e. most of the
time the things he says are untrue. I'm
saying he's a hypocrite, i.e. he says one
thing and does the other (c.f. prescription
drug scandal). You sir are full of shit.
and I don't need to google to know that.

\_ Re: prescription drugs: when has Rush
ever come out against drug users? You
are just assuming so because he is right
wing. I'd like to see the transcript
of that. Have you ever listened to his
show? It doesn't seem like it. Maybe
you're just looking for a nice ausman?
you're just looking for a nice poodle?
you're just looking for a nice german shepherd?
\_ "Let's all admit something. There's
nothing good about drug use. 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.

\_ Because, when someone provides
a detailed quote, they're
probably making that shit up.
Clearly, it never happened if
it's not on the internets.
And, if it's on the internets
it must be true! Unless you
don't like what it says, in
which, case the iternet is a
big old dumping ground full of
lies and unreliable
information. You are a
disingenuous fuckhead.
Seriously, did you get a copy
of 'Stupid High School Debate
Tricks for Aspiring Amoral
Republican Types' for your
birthday or something? -dans
\_ I can provide you all sorts
of detailed quotes. It does
not mean they are in context
or weren't totally made up.
For example, 41 of our
esteemed Senators recently
completely fabricated the
statements of a well known
radio show host, but you
seem ok with that.
\_ Told you I didn't need google to know
you're full of shit. -dans
\_ Poor Rush, no one is paying any attention to him. He really
is suffering.
\_ He should get a dog, then. Maybe a nice german shepherd!
\_ 25m listeners... ignored... forgotten... unknown.

| www.csua.org/u/jsb -> www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12536446/ Limbaugh cuts deal on drug charge April 29: Radio host Rush Limbaugh has taken a tough stand on drug cases, but a deal he struck with Tampa Bay authorities over a prescription drug charge will allow Limbaugh to walk away largely unscathed. The charge will be dropped if Limbaugh continues treatment, attorney Roy Black said Friday. "He feels that a great burden has been lifted from his shoulders," he said. "What he told me is that this is the first day of the rest of his life." Limbaugh surrendered at the Palm Beach County Jail and was booked on a warrant charging him with "doctor shopping," when a patient illegally deceives multiple physicians to receive overlapping prescriptions. The 55-year-old commentator left an hour later, after he was photographed and fingerprinted and he posted $3,000 bail, said Teri Barbera, spokeswoman for the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office. Under the terms of the deal with prosecutors called a pretrial diversion, to be filed Monday, Limbaugh will be cleared of the charge if he stays clean for 18 months and doesn't violate any laws, Black said. Limbaugh has publicly acknowledged being addicted to pain medication. According to the warrant, sometime between February and August 2003, Limbaugh withheld information from a medical practitioner from whom he sought to obtain a controlled substance or a prescription for a controlled substance. The radio giant has maintained his innocence throughout the investigation. Under the deal, Limbaugh also agreed to pay the state $30,000 to defray the public cost of the investigation and must pay $30 per month for the cost of supervision, during which time he will continue regular drug tests. Mike Edmondson, spokesman for the state attorney's office, said prosecutors had not yet received the signed agreement. "I am not disputing the facts, the conditions that Black represented, but until his client signed the agreement, we don't have a full agreement," Edmondson said. Clean for 2 years Black said Limbaugh has been drug free for 2 years. After 18 months, "he will not have any criminal record," he said. Prosecutors began investigating Limbaugh in 2003 after The National Enquirer reported his housekeeper's allegations that he had abused OxyContin and other painkillers. He soon took a five-week leave from his radio show to enter a rehabilitation program and acknowledged he had become addicted to pain medication. "The agreement that we entered into makes good common sense," Black said. "The idea is to help the person overcome the addiction ... There should be a recognition that people like Rush really should not be prosecuted." Prosecutors seized Limbaugh's medical records after learning that he received about 2,000 painkillers, prescribed by four doctors in six months, at a pharmacy near his Palm Beach mansion. The investigation was held up as prosecutors and Black battled in court over whether the records were properly seized. Limbaugh reported five years ago that he had lost most of his hearing, saying it was caused by an autoimmune inner-ear disease. He had surgery to have an electronic device placed in his skull to restore his hearing. But research shows that abusing opiate-based painkillers can also cause profound hearing loss. Before his own problems became public, Limbaugh had decried drug use and abuse and mocked President Clinton for saying he had not inhaled when he tried marijuana. He often made the case that drug crimes deserve punishment. 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," Limbaugh said on his short-lived television show on Oct. During the same show, he commented that statistics that show blacks go to prison more often than whites for the same drug offenses only illustrate that "too many whites are getting away with drug use."
