Limbaugh is part of the kennedy clan?
Actually, Limbaugh had to spend millions to defend himself. If if would have had no money, he would have been toast. The prosecutor even too his medical records, but even so they could not find him guilty. The LCLU wanted to defend him on grounds relating to the right for privacy (medical records), but I believe that he never accepted the offer, since his defender is perhaps one of the most successful lawyers in the US. The prosecutor could not prove that he was "shopping" for doctors to get pain killer, and so he only got a slap on the hand for admitting a dependency on drugs.
Limbaugh's and Mr. Kennedy's cases are completely different, except for maybe in the medical drug use issue.You do understand that Rush took a plea deal, and has not been found not guilty right?
Yes. A plea agreement such as this does not make him guilty nor not guilty.
"I am pleased to announce that the State Attorney's Office and Mr. Limbaugh have reached an agreement whereby a single count charge of doctor shopping filed today by the State Attorney will be dismissed in 18 months. As a primary condition of the dismissal, Mr. Limbaugh must continue to seek treatment from the doctor he has seen for the past two and one half years. This is the same doctor under whose care Mr. Limbaugh has remained free of his addiction without relapse.
"Mr. Limbaugh and I have maintained from the start that there was no doctor shopping, and we continue to hold this position. Accordingly, we filed today with the Court a plea of 'Not Guilty' to the charge filed by the State.

In the case of Mr. Kennedy, no charges have been made by any prosecutors, police, etc., so we don't know if there will be any drug charges against him. Limbaugh's case was based on "doctor shopping" for prescription drugs, not on drug use.

Per your link...
He is a member of the prominent Kennedy political family and is famous for a well-publicized 1991 rape trial in which he was acquitted..
Last time I checked, being acquitted means to free or clear from a charge or accusation...
Not to mention that it seems the police themselves said that it looked like a sex crime... yet he was able to get off scott free... bet ya if you or I did the same thing we would be in prison still... not to mention that is seriously looks like that some political muscle was thrown around in the background to keep things from going forward.
There are several things that looked like that happened, and yet no one was held accountable... wonder why? Hmm the Kennedy name anyone?
Also looks like William Kennedy Smith is in trouble again, looks like there is a case that has a pending date for him for ohh... guess what... another rape... boy what an idol to look up to..
Oh, and before you respond back, I remember that case... and I watched it... hate to tell ya, there was more than enough evidence to show that he did the crime... I really can't imagine why they didn't accuse him of the crime.Well, first you're trying to say the police do nothing, then claim that the police charged him with rape but that he was acquitted - was that the police again? Are they the ones who acquit suspects now?
How many more holes are you going to poke into your own "logic" (and I use the term under duress)?
Per Patrick they did nothing...
Per this other Kennedy they did what was required as a sex crime was concerned... the difference is that is per my link too many people don't want to be bothered fighting the Kennedy clan because of the fact they are powerful, and are virtually untouchable. As was proven with the only time any Kennedy has been brought up on charges... it seems that every time it happens the charges are either dropped, go away, or are forgiven...
Either way the only person that was ever close to being as untouchable as the Kennedies was Clinton.

Well, you know there are at least fifty murders that Clinton has gotten away with.
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

That is funny as I would have said bush, if anyone. Then again, when the House goes Dem I doubt bush will continue to be "untouchable". Burn baby burn!
