Good Friday

ABC News reported at 5:19 p.m. CST that Rush Limbaugh has been arrested in Florida on prescription fraud charges.

And WBAP has been promoting his appearance in Dallas on May 11th.

Edit: The entire incident appears to be part of a plea bargain that has already been agreed upon (sounds like pre-trial diversion). I suspect that Florida law (or its bureaucracy) requires an arrest if formal criminal charges are filed.

Poor Rush. My heart goes out to this man. He has gone from overweight to this?

Only the Republican party Christian conservatives can save him.

"Let us pray"........

Throw him off the air - better yet, throw him out of America.

Good way to clean up the enviornment.

He is a polluter of non thinking minds.

got your facts wrong here - he is not currently facing new charges - this is the original charge from over 2 years ago...just the formal processing.

If he is convicted on the old charge (whatever), let's send the druggie to Mexico. Looks like they are gonna legalize personal drug use.

He will fit right in.

Bye bye Rush!

Unfortunately, the legal system seems to have allowed a plea agreement that allows Rush to avoid conviction. This pompous a** will continue to pontificate and obfuscate in the media.

The mentally challenged will continue to nod their ditto-heads in blind agreement with his inane blather.

You know, I'll wear that dusty old "Proud Conservative Republican" t-shirt...but, Rush? BLOWHARD...

Yeah, all you demobrats, Rush messed up, and take all the shots you can. I'd STILL take him over any liberal idiots like Al Franken any day.

Oh, wait. Most of you have probably never even HEARD of Franken, huh? That's because he's small time wishing he was as popular as Rush...

I hate what you stupid liberals believe...

Oh and BTW, Anon 7:05, take some more cheap shots at Christians, huh? Why doesn't anyone take shots at muslims or buddhists, why always just the Christians?

The thing is 6:59, Al Franken is funny. You aren't, and neither is Rush.

And using social proof to support your opinions is poor. By you reasoning, Britney Spears is the greatest musician of all time.

Anon 10:35, you think Al Franken is funny, simply because you espouse what he believes. You don't like Rush, so you don't think he's funny. To me, Franken is a mean-spirited ego-maniac, just like you think of Rush...

Now I CAN admit that Bill Maher is VERY funny, even though his show is just a left-wing, Rebublican bashing, Christian-bashing show. But I appreciate his humor, not his politics.

4:13PM, I've never heard any of Franken's politics. I am speaking of when he was on Saturday Night Live. I have heard Rush's show for many years so I know first hand how unfunny and bland he is. Nice try.

When was the last time Rush had a position at a comedy show? Oh right...

To hear Franken talk politics with a humorous bent, try Air America (in Dallas it is KXEB 910 AM). That network is a small liberal attempt to counter the masses of right-wing radio talkers. Franken is on noon to 3pm. Jerry Springer is on 9am to noon.

Al Franken, after he left the SNL days, went on to write a book called "Rush Limbaugh is a Big fat Idiot". Since then he has become one of the leading liberal mouthpieces, yet still small time compared to Rush. He's been on Bill Maher a lot over the past few years on HBO...

You people still don't get it. I know what Franken has done after SNL. I don't live in an anti-reality cave as you do.

Amazing that Rush gets a second chance from you people, yet mention drug arrests here in Wise County and people start screaming for public beheadings.
