WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Authorities are investigating whether Rush Limbaugh, already reeling from drug problems and his expulsion from ESPN, may have driven his vehicle just below the posted speed limits on numerous occasions, a law enforcement source who spoke on condition of anonymity said Wednesday.

As long as four years ago, local law enforcement manning Florida DUI checkpoints and 'speed traps' repeatedly clocked the ultraconservative demagogue at anywhere from one to six miles per hour below the applicable speed limits. Unconfirmed reports indicate that Limbaugh was also seen proceeding through intersections while traffic lights were yellow.

One officer who declined to be named told the AP that he had personally observed Limbaugh cruising at 43 in a 45 MPH zone. No charges were filed at that time. Critics contend that Limbaugh drove very close to the speed limit on at least 30 or 40 occasions, most likely with the deliberate intent of getting to his destination while avoiding tickets for speeding.

Limbaugh's attorney, Roy Black, did not return a phone call for comment Wednesday.

Thought it was pretty funny.

Proof of why the guys at The Onion are geniuses and why it is so very hard to do parody.

Damn funny.

It's hard to drive fast while you're crushing and snorting an OxyContin

Ah well. Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, and with the 104th Congress helped mold me into the proud conservative I am today.

Peter Jennings helped mold ME into the proud individualist I am today. Individualist by right, conservative by choice.

I heard that riff on Rush earlier today. I can't wait until some media jerks pick it up.

Excellent, very funny. I can understand why the feds want to keep an eye on cash transactions, but they've created a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't scenario.

OT -

I saw a news report that called OxyContin the new Heroin. Is it me or does OxyContin sound like something you use to do your laundry?

It doesn't have the same cache (hold those anti-French sentiments ) as being Heroin Chic or the alluring simplicity of Ecstasy. If they really want this drug to take off and be considered the menace it CAN be, they need to change the name. How can we include it in the drug war with a name that sounds like a laundry supplement? My .02¢.

cachet. :A mark or quality, as of distinction, individuality, or authenticity: “Federal courts have a certain cachet which state courts lack”

cache. A hiding place used especially for storing provisions.
A place for concealment and safekeeping, as of valuables.
A store of goods or valuables concealed in a hiding place: maintained a cache of food in case of emergencies.

Thanks for the correction.

When are they going to add that damn grammer checker to Safari as well?

[thunderous_funker]

Did Rush already do his tearful "I have sinned against you.." sermon to his adoring and gullible followers? Or are they just playing this off as another Commie plot out to get him for speaking the "truth"?








Yep. "A lot of the people all of the time" indeed.

Damnit, it was only a joke. And here I thought I'd finally found a reason to like Rush.

Being from a lead footed family, myself, I can say that avoiding speeding tickets like that is a reason to dislike someone.
