As far as the topic goes, I wonder if the fact that he is on probation for doctor shopping might be the deciding factor in whether or not to charge him and/or what penalties he may face.

His lawyer claiming that he did nothing wrong doesn't really sway me. Don't they all say that?

Good lord knows OJ was innocent.:) Lawyers don't lie. Surely they don't.

The spokesman for the state attorney said it most likely was not illegal- not just his personal attorney.

Fair enough, I'll admit that. Unfortunately it's too late for me to change it.

I have listened to Rush, but not for very long. I found him to be grating, condescending, and pompous. I used to enjoy Al Franken (especially when he was on SNL and the early election/campaign coverage he did for Comedy Central), but I can't listen to him any more because I now find him grating, condescending, and pompous.

Any time someone sets him/herself up on a pedestal and has a holier-than-thou attitude, I revel in seeing them taken down. I care not if they are Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or whatever.

It mystifies me that people can listen to talk radio. A colleague of mine does and is constantly freeting over the latest political issue. I prefer entertainment without ulcers thank you very much.

I agree with much of his politics and find him condescending.

But I agree with GD on most all talking heads: they HAVE to be confrontational. No one wants to listen to an agreeable political commentator who equally acknowledges all sides of a story and make rational, reasonable decisions.

I would find that so refreshing and compelling. NPR is about as close as it comes. (I hear a right wing sneaker somewhere.)

(raising my hand)

I wonder if a stiff sentence will make Rush do hard time for this...

Funny, Rush didn't seem any taller last time I saw him on TV.
