Did Pig Boy (ru$h) Get Away With His CrimeS?

I don't hear anything about his doctor-shopping, oxy-addicted (& whatever else) a$$ anymore. What's the latest, or is this all over? It sure is taking a while, if there's a trial or anything like it coming up sometime in the future.

1. Rush has never been charged with anything.

Unlike most drug defendants, he has the money to defend himself. This is America, where you can get all the justice you can afford.

2. He's rich, white, powerful and Republican

The law does not apply to these people.

I'd like to know the status too.

3. He ginned up the Right Wing loonies, and looks to be getting off

Couple that with his lawyers working around the clock to muddy the waters, and you see him walking free.

and getting one extension after another

his time is coming. right now he's appealing to protect his "privacy" over his medical records IIRC

here's a link from his attorney with the latest shenanigans listed (aka court filings)

5. Yes, he has gotten away with his crimes

There may be a couple more acts to this pathetic play, which is what all of Imperial Amerika is these days, but rest assured, like the 2006 & 2008 "elections", the outcome was predetermined long ago.

He will wish he was dead.

9. truth is all drug laws are bullsh-t

whether you're rich or poor, unless committing another crime the only punishment for abusing drugs should be treatment.

all we get are mixed messages...prescription drugs--good, unless you defy state laws. street drugs---bad.

alcohol? no problem-unless you're involved in vehicular homicide, then it's at most a year in the slammer.

11. Isn't he nearly deaf? Isn't hearing loss a common side effect

of his particular drug indulgances?

Trial or no, I'd say nature dished out some justice of her own. She's prolly one of them femi-nazis! ;)
