PA doctor sent package to limbaugh...

PALM BEACH — A Pennsylvania doctor has been identified as the man who sent the package that caused a scare at the home of radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh on Thursday evening.

Police said that Dr. Eric Brader, an emergency-room physician who lives in the northern Pittsburgh suburb of Wexford, Pa., sent a package that was intended to be a business proposition for Limbaugh.

Brader, 54, will not face charges from the incident, Palm Beach police spokesman Fred Hess said. A phone call to Brader's home this evening was not immediately returned.

According to the police report, a member of Limbaugh's security staff went to the U.S. Post Office at 400 South County Road shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday and picked up a package that was addressed to Limbaugh.

A photo of an artist's depiction of John Wilke's Booth assassinating Lincoln. In a digital photo frame. The guy said it was a "business proposition."

It might make them think about the consequences of their actions and words.

This wouls be analogous to how Tom Dashiel and other powerful dems were silenced by the vials of anthrax that was mailed to their offices by the * Adm....er.....uh, I mean, the domestic terrorists.

Can't imagine one could live with that much security daily and it not lead one to some paranoia.
