JUST A THOUGHT

Rush Limbaugh and the ACLU - now that's a lineup no one could ever
have imagined on the same side of anything.

But there it is in West Palm Beach, where the outspoken talk show
host is fighting to get his medical records back from the State
Attorney's Office that is investigating trafficking in pain-killer
drugs, to which Limbaugh has admitted being addicted. To the rescue
comes the American Civil Liberties Union, ever the champion of the
underdog, filing a court brief supporting Limbaugh's claim of invasion
of privacy in seizure of his medical records.

Most conservatives have nothing but contempt for the ACLU because it
so often takes an extreme slant in standing up for dissenters' civil
rights. Doubtless it has felt the sting of Limbaugh's diatribes often
in the past. There's a delicious irony in having the organization
defending his rights - without being asked.
