Rush Limbaugh, Drug Fraud
Here are my favorite bits from the story of Rush Limbaugh's belated and inadequate date with Lady Justice:
Talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh surrendered to authorities Friday on a charge of committing fraud to obtain prescription drugs, concluding an investigation that for more than two years has hovered over the law-and-order conservative.
The charge will be dropped in 18 months, said his attorney, Roy Black, provided that Limbaugh continues treatment for drug addiction, as he has for 2 1/2 years. According to an agreement with the Palm Beach County state's attorney's office, Limbaugh also must pay $30,000 to defray the costs of the investigation, as well as $30 a month for his supervision.
My question is, who is going to supervise Rush for $30 a month? (I wonder if it's some of the convicts from the big house -- I hear they work cheap.)
I also liked this part:
The news that Limbaugh, a savage critics of others' moral behavior, was addicted to drugs was taken as a sign of hypocrisy by his detractors. His friends and staunchest fans, however, said Limbaugh was merely working through the kinds of challenges that can affect anyone.
Well, the kind of challenges that can affect any drug-addicted fraud.
