Prosecution may bolster Limbaugh team

WEST PALM BEACH -- One of Florida's most prominent Republican lawyers may step in to assist prosecutors in conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh's case.

Tom Warner, former solicitor general of Florida, is being considered, sources say.

Warner is a former state representative from Stuart who ran unsuccessfully for Florida attorney general in 2002. He is married to Judge Martha Warner of the 4th District Court of Appeal, the court now considering an appeal by Limbaugh. She is not one of the judges on Limbaugh's case.

Limbaugh has not been charged with a crime and is awaiting the appeals court ruling on whether prosecutors can use medical records seized from his doctors as part of a doctor-shopping investigation. Warner's entry, if it occurs, is not expected until after the court ruling, which could come at any time.

2. Why do the taxpayers have to pay so much

To put this jerk away? Anybody else with this evidence against them would have been way up the river by now . . .

3. This has dragged on far too long

He should have been in jail long time ago.

4. I really hope that this long delay means that all Ts are being crossed and

all the I's dotted. I would like nothing more than to see this piece of shit behind bars. Maybe he could experience a little college "hazing" while there. He has done more damage to America than any other 20th century figure.

5. I can't help but be amused by this.

He is playing such the "victim" these days. Instead of "taking responsibility," he's crying about persecution. I could give a Limbaugh-esque screed about Limbaugh's own actions. I hope the criminal justice system gives him every bit as much of justice as given to the average 18-year old Black male from a large urban area. Hmm... maybe he could also be prosecuted under gang laws for his leadership of a gang called "the dittoheads?" Maybe I should write to the prosecutor!
