So what are they going to find in Rush's medical records?
I remember a couple of years ago someone had leaked some records that said he had never had surgery except for liposuction. It would not surprise me if he had never had back surgery at all (should be easy to trace and should have a scar) but just did the typical "my back is killing me" lament. I am amazed at how "compassionate" the right wing is when they have no problem with locking less famous addicts up for decades - and ones that have not laundered money or employed a dealer.

9. Is that his real name? I always thought that
Rush Limbaugh sounded kinda phoney.

4. here is a link
to an interview with Ann Coulter talking about how rules should not apply to her, or any conservative for that matter. LOL It's kind of interesting.

12. I just read that Scarborough transcript!...
...and it is a blueprint! A playbook of how the Right avoids any question or discussion that will force them to confront their inconsistency and hypocricy. Just constant stonewall, volley the question back to the questioner, and when all else fails, whine about how unfair/immoral/treasonous it is to ask the question in the first place.

Coulter has man-hands! Man Hands I tell you!

Boortz--what a tool. I can't believe he passed up another chance to do his patented Boortz repetitive thing: "Millions of Americans are addicted to crack. Millions of Americans are addicted to X. Millions of Americans are addicted to...Joe Millionaire..."

And Scarborough bringing up the 9 million addicts that a day earlier the Repugs didn't give two Grey Poupon-tinted shits about. Fucking wank.

6. I wonder if liposuction
is the surgery he had for back pain?

10. By looking at his medical records, they are probably focusing
on the doctors who prescribed the pills. Feds hardly ever target users of prescription drugs, they would rather get the doctors... more press, more impact, yadda yadda.

1. Oh, yeah,
They're definitely gonna fix this thing to focus on the evil Dr. Nicks who malpracticed our EIB King. They will all be disbarred and jailed/penniless, and Lardhead Victim will skate.

11. MD can prescribe any pill - but if off standard use for problem he must
explain.

You go to the eye doctor and get pain meds for your back.

You go to the foot doctor and get pain meds for your back.

You go to the fertility doctor and get pain meds for your back

You go to the plastic surh to discuss a nose job, and get pain meds for your back

It is a crime to "doctor shop" to get excessive meds.

And that is what Rush did.

Now will a conservative ever do time for the crime - the way you or I would?

Don't bet on Rush doing any time for his crime.

You can look up the exception to law under BUSH RULES or NEOCON PARDONS FOR TREASON/REAGAN, subparagraph - PROTECTED BY MEDIA.

2. Yep, MDs can get in mucho trouble
for giving you a script for a level 2 drug (like Oxy - or any narcotic) when they know you already have one.

Believe me, I worked in an MDs office. We had several patients who tried to doctor shop during my tenure there.
