LIMBAUGH TARGETS PROSECUTORS ON AIR

WEST PALM BEACH - Rush Limbaugh said that Palm Beach County
prosecutors subpoenaed records to identify employees in his doctors'
offices as part of their investigation into the conservative radio
commentator's prescription drug use.

Limbaugh's remarks on his radio show Friday were the latest in his
fight with prosecutors over their seizure of his medical records.
Prosecutors are trying to determine whether Limbaugh visited several
doctors to illegally receive duplicate prescriptions of controlled
narcotics.

Also Friday, the 4th District Court of Appeal in West Palm Beach gave
prosecutors 15 days to respond to Limbaugh's appeal of a Palm Beach
County circuit judge's order allowing them to review his medical
records, which remain sealed.

On his radio show, Limbaugh said prosecutors sent out subpoenas to the
offices of four of his doctors. Limbaugh sought treatment for his
admitted addiction to painkillers in October and has not been charged
with a crime.

``They're already figuring they're going to win the opportunity to see
my medical records, and once they see them, they want a list of names
at these doctors' offices that they can re-subpoena and bring in for
interviews,'' Limbaugh said, according to a transcript of the show on
his Web site.

A spokesman for Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer
declined to comment Friday. He did not return phone calls Saturday.

Limbaugh's attorney Roy Black contends that prosecutors violated
Limbaugh's privacy rights by illegally seizing the medical records
late last year by using search warrants, rather than having first
notified Limbaugh and giving him a chance to challenge the seizure.

Krischer repeatedly has insisted that investigators have followed the
law and ``scrupulously protected'' Limbaugh's rights.
