You may have a point....but something tells me that after a two year investigation (that included the apprehension of his medical records) that should there have been anything they could have gotten Rush on (particularly the felonies that were mentioned by the prosecutors), there would have been no plea deal basically letting him off with nothing.

However, I will say that I find it sad whenever a Charlie Sheen (not a pundit, mind you, but in the public eye) or a Whitney Houston has repeated problems and can't seem to get over them. I believe dealers should get time, but the process of putting users in prison is pointless. Fines? OK. Rehab? Certainly. Jail time? Probably not doing anyone any good.

Plus, looking at and listening to James Carville, something tells me he's on speed. I don't think jail time is required.
