The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

I had forgotten all of this - how tough the prosecutors talked when they first started going after LImbaugh.

Source is Drudge -

Prosecutors claimed they had evidence that Limbaugh committed at least 10 felonies!

It now appears James Martz, the prosecutor who headed the investigation into Limbaugh's prescription drug use, was bluffing when he said that medical records "indicate evidence that would support in excess of 10 felony counts for violations."

Prosecutors said Limbaugh, in any deal, would have to plead guilty to doctor shopping, a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

That's quite a jump from 10 felonies and any plea deal including 3 to 5 years prison time to basically a 30K fine.

Now....I do fully agree that Rush had always talked about drug users in a very, very negative light. Certainly he did call them "human debris" as GC quoted. I have not heard him use any such term to describe drug users since he has returned from his stint in rehab. So perhaps he did learn something.
