The lamest, most misleading Limbaugh headline

Limbaugh, prosecutors can declare victory

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1110AP_Limbaugh_Painkillers.html

In the Seattle PI of all places, how dejecting. Then later on in the article the writer admits it may not really be a "victory", but at least Rush gets to "save face" (yuh-huh):

Is the deal a victory for Limbaugh?

"This is a dismissal of the charge ... representing, in affect, a win for the defense," said Kendall Coffey, a former U.S. attorney and prominent Miami defense lawyer.

"Having said that, I wouldn't call this case a major defeat for the prosecution. They fought and won an important legal point in establishing that you can use a search warrant in Florida to secure medical records," Coffey added. "That's an important precedent for prosecutors around the state. This could be the rare situation where both sides made a deal and can walk away feeling some satisfaction."

The deal also allows Limbaugh "to save face," said Michael Seigel, a University of Florida law professor and former federal prosecutor.
