NEW DETAILS: Rush Limbaugh's 'Hillbilly Heroin' said used as part of vote-buying scheme...

A Republican election official, one of six allegedly bi-partisan Clay County, KY Board of Elections officials arrested last March and charged with a long-term conspiracy to rig elections, buy votes, and manipulate vote-selections on electronic voting machines without the knowledge of voters, has asked to change his plea from not guilty to guilty.

Paul E. Bishop is set to plead guilty to one count of racketeering in the scheme that spanned elections in the rural county from 2002 through 2007.

According to the original indictment, Bishop was a Republican election judge at precincts in 2002 and 2004, and hosted meetings at his house where candidates pooled money to be used for buying votes. The latest report also notes that Bishop, and some of the other conspirators, even employed Rush Limbaugh's illicit drug of choice, OxyContin, as part of their scheme...

1. His son, a prominent albino banjo player, complained...

"Donchu 'rest my pop."

Then, distracted, he turned his attention to this reporter and said, "You shure are purty."

4. I love it that Oxycontin wil be forever called

Rush Limbaugh's drug of choice.

10. And yet Limbaugh still spreads hate and lies everyday on the airwaves.

That's what America has been reduced to.

The BIGGEST criminals continue to run amok, with no accountability, no justice, no consequences for wrong doing, above the law.

But hey, at least we have a cute pet name for a drug to make up for it.

That'll show em'.

5. A whole lake full of huge fish

and we've got to settle for a distorted fuckin' minnow that's not even fit for bait.

Oh well - maybe he'll cooperate and rat on his fellow minnow-tank co-conspirators.

*Sigh*

6. This reaches back deep into American history

George Washington himself is said to have bought votes in an election to the Virginia House of Burgesses with shots of whiskey.

Of course, whiskey was and is legal, so you don't have to think of the guy on the dollar bill and the quarter as an "OxyMoron". :P

7. Why is buying an election not a hanging offense? If it isn't we aren't serious about democracy.

and why aren't these candidates who pooled money behind bars. Were they elected sheriff and judge?

[No Elephants]

8. Agree (except I'd go for life in prison, not hanging). We sooo need new election laws.

9. Is it my imagination or is this guy scary looking?
