Rush says he was blackmailed

[CatWoman]

Or is that brownmaided?

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Rush Limbaugh was blackmailed by a former maid who later told law enforcement and a tabloid newspaper about his addiction to prescription painkillers, his attorney told a judge on Monday.

Attorney Roy Black said Limbaugh could not complain to authorities about the maid's demand for $4 million because they would use the information against him.

1. Yeah right.

That man will say anything.

[liberalnurse]

2. Oh, like thats going to fly.

Limbaugh is apparently in deep shit if he's trying the "dog ate my homework" approach......


Yea, Mr. Big Blubber-mouth, who has slept in the Lincoln Bedroom is being blackmailed by a trivial maid...yea, right.....So Rush, explain the addiction.....Aren't ya on methadone? Sure you are!

I just can't connect the dots; you must be high again Rush....delusional thinking I'd say....

[Old and In the Way]

30. George Bush calls Rush a "National Treasure"

George literally carried Rush's bags into the WH for his stay in the Lincoln Bedroom.

Only in America could an unelected Cocaine-snortin' fraud defend a narcotics junkie that's paid $120MM to spew lies and distortion over the airwaves.

I'll bet Bill "Slots" Bennett must be disgusted with the moral degeneracy of these guys.........

[Old and In the Way]

3. If he did nothing illegal, how could he be blackmailed?

Ya' take your chances, Rush, buying your narcotics on the street.

Gawd, where is that personal responsibility you expect out of everyone else, Mr. Whiner?

[PurityOfEssence]

22. You again

You and all your rational claptrap. Pickin' on a guy who was just minding his own business snorking down enough synthopiates to literally destroy his hearing; why you're unspeakable. (Not to mention inaudible...)

You should be ashamed.

How dare you use dastardly tricks like logic against champions of the right; don't you know that hypocrisy is inapplicable to the privileged? From the point of view of the elite, if "they" are inferiors, one can do anything one would criticize them for with no expectation of rebuke.

Sheesh.

And how dare you use the term "whiner"; regardless of how accurate it is; that's a hate dismissal that's trademarked by the right. It's people like you whut mess up the social order.

If we didn't have the same birthday, I'd tell you a thing or three.

[Old and In the Way]

25. I have an excuse, though.....

I've been "off my meds" for 30 years or so. When Mr. Limbaugh clears his brain, he'll be amazed to find how opiate drug addiction can distort reality. Hell, he might even become a registered Democrat!

Sooooo...what are you getting me for my birthday???

[Atman]

4. Oh, well then...he did nothing wrong!

Let him go. Sorry to waste your time, America...just another hypocritical republican blowhard here, nothing unusual.

[buycitgo]

5. well, gee, isn't that the definition of blackmail?

so when is she going to be indicted for this crime?

can't wait.....maybe she'll be prosecuted before him.


wonder who the star witness will be....

do they televise this sort of thing in Fla?

bring it ON!!!!!!!

oh......does her immunity include blackmail charges?

[oneighty]

6. So it is all her fault.

She made me do it. The Rush defence.

[LuminousX]

13. The part of personal responsibility, dontchya know.

[Demobrat]

7. Good.

I hope she got plenty out of him.

[nadinbrzezinski]

See it was not my fault judge

I really did not take all them pills, wait a minute I did, but
I was not gonig to sell them honest...and if I came to the
authorities she woudl have blown the whisttle

Mr Limbaugh the court will have no more of your acts, did you or did
you not buy all those pills?

But sir, honest I was blackmailed

(Yes I can almost see this one occurring under oath... personal
responsibilty my foot!)

[Bunny]

8. Good Lord.

Could that ass-boil be a bigger douche bag?

[tom_paine]

9. Ah they age-old cry of the Bushevik

Project and smear.

Project and smear.

[Bluzmann57]

10. Hmmm...limbaugh's in the public eye

and has for years preached about how people in the public eye should be "role models". Here's your chance dumbass. Be a man and admit responsibility. See, bad things happen to people like limbaugh because he's a... DUMBASS!!!

[Ksec]

11. Poor Rush. He cant help it, he was born with a fat foot in his mouth

Blamin the victim. This lady was forced to buy drugs for him and know hes blaming her for his habit

[slor]

12. That fat monkey...

is such a coward!

[aquart]

14. That's a good reason to avoid felonies, Rush. Blackmail.

See, if you commit a felony, you can be blackmailed. It's one of the many exciting options.

[5thGenDemocrat]

39. Another exciting option

Becoming the Sweetheart of Cell Block "B". Couldn't happen to a nicer guy -- maybe they'll make him Prom Queen was they're at it.

Alas, I have a sinking feeling that the pig is going to skate.

[linazelle]

15. Roy Black and Rush Limbaugh...a match made in heaven

I think we should believe Roy after all, he did such a good job getting William Kennedy Smith off the hook while trashing his victim.

[Sandpiper]

16. Craven Coward

The fat blowhard was too much of a chickenshit to buy his own drugs in the first place, so he sent his maid to do it, so that if someone got caught in the act of buying, it wouldn't be him. Now he's trying to deflect attention from himself by smearing the woman he used as a go between. :puke:

[rucky]

17. Then he should sue

I'd love to see some shit go on record in civil court

[AlFrankenFan]

18. Ha! Rush says a lot of things...

...but do I believe them? No.

[Skittles]

19. God, what a spineless, cowardly piece of shit

:puke:

[drscm]

20. Isn't that the genius of the capitalistic system?

Wait, she was selling the truth, unlike Limpballs who sells lies.

[izzie]

21. He really has no back bone at all.

He kicked every one that was down and now look at him.

[rapier]

23. notes

Of course he could have come forward. It's called personal resposibility.

Here is how it would be done. Call the FBI. Say I am Rush, I am an addict, and I am being blackmailed.

See, It would have been easy. What a whining little pussyboy.

[grasswire]

24. Ha! The Marion Barry defense!

That's next!

I'd love to know what Limbo had to say about Marion Barry's arrest for cocaine.

[Solomon]

46. "The bitch set me up"

:evilgrin:

[BackDoorMan]

26. Limbaughis full of shit and lying as usual...it's all on tape and his maid

gave it to the feds...this is the asshole pigman Limbaugh just throwing shit out and seeing what will fly and what the stupid sheep will buy!

[Unforgiven]

31. Nice Rhyme!

[DifferentStrokes]

27. Even Freepers don't believe him

One of the response:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1045123/posts

"Attorney Roy Black said Limbaugh could not complain to authorities about the maid's demand for $4 million because they would use the information against him."

Now just how were they going to do that if all the drugs he took were legal ? HHmmmmm ?

34. I was gonna ask how even the most self-deluded freeper

...could possibly believe such a line of obvious horseshit no matter how devoted said freeper was to the this elephantine orator, this dirigibilian demagogue.

Now I have my answer: even they can't swallow it.

Hope the jury takes the same view.

[Booberdawg]

28. Yes and monkeys fly outta my ass

:eyes:

[Unforgiven]

29. Here we Go!

I knew it, I knew it, this guy is gonna cry foul, I'm the victim, I'm the victim here. I begged people at work to take me up on this bet, but nobody would. So here we go! Can't you just here it all now Rush siteing "Those Liberal Judges" are after me, Those damned democrats and of course let's not forget Clinton. The maid is a Clinton operative? Why of course she is Rush! Roll up your pant legs Ladies and Gentlemen. Any trick or Lie that works will do.

[mouse7]

32. Thay's why "addict" isn't a recommended career path.

Your dealer can hold out for more money. People can tell friends and co-workers you spend your life in an opium fog. You're tolerance skyrockets and your hearing is destroyed.

Junkie is just not a highly sought occupational track.

[AngryAmish]

33. I'm not sure if I beleive Mr. Limbaugh

Maybe because it is because he is full of waste.

[Philostopher]

40. I hurted myself laughing when I read this post.

Thank you for a late-evening giggle, AngryAmish. I believe that you are correct. Waste and hateful monosyllables.

[LeahMira]

35. And so?

He still took the drugs, didn't he?

What's his point? That he's going to bring the housekeeper down with him?

Birds of a feather, IMHO... him for taking and her for getting.

[rasputin1952]

36. Pride cometh before the fall...

this SOB is falling off Mt Everest!

[UTUSN]

37. " 2,000 painkillers, prescribed by four doctors"

Sounds innocent to me----------NOT. However, this day our HOMELAND SECURITY god, Tomatha RIDGE chose to present himself on the Rush LIMBOsevic circus/extravaganza. To make it clearER, our SECURITY person CHOSE to associate himself with a probable-FELON.

[the_real_38]

38. Well I, for one, tend to take a man at this word...

... but that piece of garbage hardly passes as a man. So I'll just assume that he's lying as usual.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

41. I sure hope he has proof? Extortion is a crime but then again

if he is lying, slander and libel can result in stiff penalties in civil court :D

[Loonman]

42. Lying junky

Get off the drugs, Rush.

[OneTwentyoNine]

43. So...Rush just admitted to the crime

Um...what was she blackmailing you for Rush? Oh,all those illegal drugs that you obtained?

When the hell are they going to charge this fat fuck?

[NicRic]

45. Rush still using ?

I talked to an addiction specialist ,and to my surprise he told me it was highly unlikely that RUSH is now clean after just a 30 day stint in rehab .The failure rate for opiate addiction is 95%, and even after 30 days of being off of opiates an addict would still suffer from depression ,insomia and lack of energy and drive ! I dont listen to Rush ,however someone that out of curiousity did ,told me he sounded to happy ,in other word sounds like he is still using .I would be willing to bet he had a large stash somewhere and is still using ,or he is on methadone maintience. What to you think ,from ex addicts I taked to ,I've been told that getting off of these very addicting pin pills,oxycotin , is a long and difficult work in progress.

[Blue Gardener]

44. Working on a Plea Bargain

That's the opinion on CNN this morning. Typical Angry White Male, nothing is his fault, I'm the poor picked on victim. Sickening.

[Solomon]

47. I said this when the story about the drugs first broke.

He will do what's called a pre-indictment plea. That's where you negotiate over what crime to plead guilty to before they indict you.

[rocktivity]

48. Maybe HE was blackmailing HER!

Maybe she had to keep buying the pills because he threatened her with turning her if she didn't kept buying her drugs. Then when she got caught, she felt she had to choice but to cut a deal!

49. UPDATE: Rush's Medical records have been released to prosecutors

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (CNN) -- A Florida judge Tuesday ordered radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh's medical records released to prosecutors in connection with an investigation into his prescription drug purchases.

50. He should have paid the blackmail

It would have been far cheaper IMHO.
