Rush skates while others pay the price
More proof that the rich & well-connected don't have to pay for their crimes....

From Chuck Shepherd's News Of The Weird, 6/4/06 edition:

Wheelchair-confined Richard Paey committed almost exactly the same violations of Florida prescription drug laws that radio personality Rush Limbaugh did, with a different result: Limbaugh's sentence, in May, was addiction treatment, and Paey's, in 2004, was 25 years in prison. Both illegally possessed large quantities of painkillers for personal use, which Paey defiantly argued was (and will be) necessary to relieve nearly constant pain from unsuccessful spinal surgeries after an auto accident, but which Limbaugh admitted was simply the result of addiction. (In fact, if Limbaugh complies with his plea bargain, his conviction will be erased.) Paey's sentence now rests with a state Court of Appeal.

2. Why should Rush have to live by the rule of law?
He's a rich, fat, white, repug. Laws are for the little people.

:sarcasm:

Welcome to DU :hi:

3. If the people have an iota of sense, they'll stop listening to the pig.
I wonder how he'll spin this on his radio show...

Assuming he makes a mention or even flinches the next time he talks of drug abusers who ought to rot in jail...

7. It couldn't be any different
Several sets and layers to the law here, depending on the color of ones skin, the size and numbers of bank accounts. Prison is for little people who can't afford justice :sarcasm: not hate mongering closeted freaks.
