Has Rush Limbo finished his prison time for drugs yet?

Sergeant Stinger1 · 07-04-08, 12:57 AM

Naw he got a Cindy McCain punishment I bet.

I do not listen to Rush Limbo.Its bad enough he is a junkie,but to sit there and take the ACLU's help just made him a hypocrite.He did not need a free lawyer and even if he was too cheap to get his own lawyer I am sure there are lots of lawyer dittoheads out there who would have done his case for free.

Are there any charges filed against him?

Last I heard the DA was trying to subpena his entire medical record so they could go fishing to see if Rush committed a crime. The ACLU had to pick it up because of the precident that would have set; that the DA can go fishing in your medical records with out first providing probable cause to a judge to obtain a warent for your records.

As I understand it, the DA lost their request, could not prove any wrong doing as they had no evidence, and the whole legal issue went away.

If you could provide a link to any pending legal action, if there is any, that would be helpfull, but as for a conviction.....there was never even an inditement.

As for drug addicts per-se, IMO punishing confessed addics of illegal or controled substances who then enter rehab on their own and remain clean there after, like Rush, would only serve to keep addicts from comming out and getting help.

Limbaugh did get caught at the airport with a prescription for Viagra that was not his own; however, I fail to see how this makes him an addict.

As to the legal issue, you are correect, DAs cannot be allowed to use the power of a subpoena to conduct a fishing expedition.

No cause, no warrant.... NO EXCEPTIONS!

This case was handled properly and that is that!!!

I’m not sure how you missed his new 400 million dollar 8 year contract signing, it was on the cover of every newspaper at the stand Wednesday. As well as every radio station and news program I came across.

He was represented by a fairly famous and fairly expensive attorney named Roy Black. Not the ACLU. Though I think they did offer to help him. Not really a news flash…..he passed on the ACLU’s kindly offer.

Ironically Limbaugh’s addiction to the little blues is credited as most likely responsible for his deafness. Besides the negative publicity and legal troubles, his wife divorced him shortly after the scandal broke.

Acquittal of William Kennedy Smith on rape charges in Palm Beach, Florida
Rush Limbaugh on charges of doctor shopping

WOW that is funny a Kennedy.

And the ACLU did come to Limbaugh's defense BTW in the liberal media:

Limbaugh served probation ala plea bargain. He opted to hire Black and pass on the offer of representation by the ACLU or any other “free” lawyers as erroneously claimed earlier. Though someone thinks the ACLU forming an opinion about a famous case constitutes Limbaugh going to the ACLU and asking them to help him. Or something like that, I guess.

Honestly your link really did not say that much other than resume padding.

Since the link was not meant to do more than show that Limbaugh hired said attorney (not the ACLU) so what?
