LIMBAUGH LURCHES TO THE LEFT

Didn't Rush Limbaugh used to be pro-law and order?

Now that the once conservative commentator finds himself on the wrong side
of a police investigation, he and his lawyers are accusing prosecutors and
other members of the law enforcement community of concocting a vast,
politically motivated conspiracy against him.

Not even the most linguini-spined liberal would have the gall to spew such
irresponsible nonsense.

Limbaugh recently completed treatment for an acknowledged addiction to
prescription drugs, and Florida prosecutors are investigating evidence that
he may have broken the law by going "doctor shopping" to acquire his
massive supplies of OxyContin and other painkillers.

A West Palm Beach judge ruled last week that prosecutors had established
sufficient cause to examine Limbaugh's medical records, but Limbaugh's
lawyers succeeded in getting the records resealed while they appeal the
decision.

Either way, the judge and prosecutors have agreed that Limbaugh's medical
records will not be made public. By all accounts, police, prosecutors and
the courts have have taken great pains to protect Limbaugh's civil rights.

But Limbaugh claims that his problems stem from a massive conspiracy on the
part of his political enemies in law enforcement.

"The Democrats still cannot defeat me in the arena of political ideas,"
Limbaugh said on his Tuesday radio show. "And so now they are trying to do
so in the court of public opinion and the legal system."

Limbaugh used to defend the legal system - and he used to ridicule citizens
who claimed that their constitutional rights had been violated by police
and prosecutors. But now Limbaugh, who is fortunate enough to be able to
afford the representation of celebrity attorney Roy Black and a team of
defense lawyers, has joined the conspiracy nuts.

The people who have been hunting for someone to host a new left-wing radio
talk show may have found their man.
