Rush to justice?

Rush Limbaugh turned himself into Palm Beach County police today and was booked, fingerprinted and his mug shot taken (Below). This was the culmination of a three-year investigation into illegal drug activity by the radio show host.



Limbaugh was "doctor shopping" or illegally deceiving multiple doctors to receive overlapping prescriptions for Oxycodone. He received about 2,000 painkillers, prescribed by four doctors in six months, at a pharmacy near his Palm Beach mansion.

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.

"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," Limbaugh said on his short-lived television show on Oct. 5, 1995.

He had gone as far as to suggest that women found guilty of any drug charge should have their children taken away from them permanently.

This is a perfect example of how hypocritical major right wing players can be. They decry drug use, yet they use them (Limbaugh). They decry sexual perversion, and then get caught with prostitutes (Swaggart) They decry corruption, and then they participate in it. (Delay, Reed, Cunningham, etc.)

This fat little slime ball will never spend one day in jail. What a shame.
