Smoking Gun has the goods on Rush's pushers
OCTOBER 3--Meet Louis Beshara and his wife, Gloria Rodriguez. The Florida couple are at the heart of the drug scandal now enveloping radio superstar Rush Limbaugh. Investigators allege that the duo illegally sold hundreds of thousands of prescription painkillers from a Palm Beach-area pharmacy they owned.

4. Thanks Cat! This is almost too good to be true....first bill bennett
now another grand hypocrite from the zealotry of the "right".

Interesting how the "maid" was "secretly" taping rush.

Talk about intrigue, high crimes and misdomeanors.

Mike Malloy is talking about this right now...and a caller is saying .."for me to feel any compassion" "rush is going to have to give many many $$$$ to a homeless center in Washington..and apologize to Kitty Dukakus and Cindy McCain among many others..

"rush has used his position to degrade anyone who comes into his radar" ~Mike Malloy

9. The REAL question is"What will Rush do with no supply of drugs?"
Will he become more of a raving maniac? Will he be admitted to detox again?

Notice how quickly and eagarly Rush returned to the ESPN story today...trying to divert attention from the drug story. Besides, the ESPN story give him a forum to appeal to his racist followers.

No more is the Rush drug charge a flash in the pan.

And don't tell me he took all hundreds of thousands of pills himself. I want to know who in the Bush administration he passed them on to.

6. Pimping pills...
for Pickles?


I wish no addict ill...but I'm human. Watching the mighty fall on their own petard once in awhile is what keeps my faith in justice from dying.

7. Major media is helping Rush by focusing on his (alleged) suppliers
According to the maid, RL practically forced her to procure pills for him.

I have a question, though: Why should it be any of the Government's business what RL eats? His adoring fans say they never noticed him not being his usual "brilliant" captivating self.

The police/criminal justice industrial complex has planted many stories about how Oxycontin is more dangerous than even Rush Limbaugh - but, if he ate by the scores every day, and doesn't appear any worse for it, and certainly there's been no allegation he hurt anyone (other than yelling at the maid - which he wouldn't have had to do if he could simply have driven to the drug store & bought what he wanted) --- so why should it be a crime to eat something?

8. Is the Pharacist and his wife part of the FL Cuban cabal?
Is this scandal going to take down several birds with one stone? (Rush, the moralistic RW, the FL Cuban cabal, FOX News, ...)

All of a sudden the RW compassionate conservatives are out in force...like they were for Bennett. So much compassion from people who trashed every poor and minority drug addict and sports superstar addict they ever heard of. Once again, hypocrisy reigns on the RW biggots.
