Yesterday,Rush Limbaugh was arrested and booked in Florida for prescription fraud. Rush's lawyer, Roy Black, tried to put lipstick on the pig, when he claimed that Rush had not been arrested, he had only been booked. It's sad when a lawyer this smart says something this dumb. It doesn't take a professor of criminal justice to know that no one is booked unless they have been arrested.
Mr. Black has negotiated a sweet deal for his client though. Limbaugh will pay $30,000, and participate in a drug program for the next 18 months. As usual, the rich and powerful can buy a little more justice than the poor.
Well, so far we have had Duke Cunningham, Scooter Libby, Jack Abramoff, Tom Delay, and now Rush Limbaugh, not to mention a host of underlings. Who will be the next right-winger to fall?
