1 down, 434 to go.

Agreed. Who does he think he is, a Kennedy?

Let's see:

Brags about speeding. Thought he was above the law. Was going 20 mph over speed limit when he killed motorcyclist. Ran stop sign when he killed motorcyclist. Claimed at scene he swerved to avoid a non-existent car. Used Twinkie-style defense. Appeared very surprised when he was convicted.

Yep. He thinks he's a Kennedy.

Zooty.

When it comes down to it, there's no difference between Republicans and Democrats, is there?

Naaah. He wasn't DRINKING and driving, now, was he?

Or if he was Joe Scarborough. They found a dead woman in his office and nobody even asked how she got there.

Paul

I had never heard of him before your post

Back to our discussion in the past about bike accidents, the way that guy got killed was a truly scary scenario. Blowing a stop sign at that kind of velocity where you can't see the other road...it must have seemed a bullet from nowhere to that poor fellow on the bike.

Obviously she walked there. They have Zuvembis there, right?

Zooty

I was thinking about it.

Some things can get you, no matter how hard you try.

Zooty

Despite his fake "hypoglycemia" defense, no.

Janklow was perfectly sober and thinking clearly when he thoughtlessly ended the life of a motorcyclist.

He knew what he was doing.

BTW, please don't take my response the wrong way. I think he should have the book thrown at him. It's just that I think that should have happened 34 years ago to Kennedy...

That's funny, I didn't know Rush' troubles were over yet, or that he had been exonerated of any criminal charges. Would you care to amplify?

I'm also unaware of anyone that he killed...

Oh, come on! Haven't you seen the TV advertisements?

Drug addicts are supporting cop-killers and terrorists.

Come to think of it, on that basis, Limbaugh should be up for treason.

Seriously, my problem with Limbaugh is that he is unwilling to see done to himself what he advocated doing to every other person in the country who abused drugs.

Alternatively, he could say that he was wrong.

He's unwilling to do either. He seems to think that every drug addict in the country except him should be prosecuted to the "full extent of the law."

Zooty

I don't disagree with you on that...

David Erbas-White

You mean the pain killers he was taking are made by illegal drug traffickers, and not by pharmaceutical companies? ;O)

C'mon, Zooty - we're talking prescription pain killers, not Heroin or Crack. Apply a little common sense here.

Or are you one of those "zero tolerance" freaks who thinks having an 'Advil' in school ought to be punished as severely as a kid dealing heroin?

Where was the housekeeper getting the pain killers for him? For that matter, the dude was "doctor shopping." He supported doctors who are part of the drug problem in this country. They're creating a climate where drugs are acceptable.

Who knows how many innocent young Republicans are going to start taking drugs because their role model does?

Actually, I'm very much against the current Zero-Tolerance attitude. It's endangering the lives of diabetics and asthmatics in our school systems.

Limbaugh is one of the ones who harps on the "right" way to treat the druggies. I'm just asking that he be treated the same as he advocates for everyone else.

Ok, I'm being sarcastic. I try to treat other people as I would want to be treated. It's just that sometimes, I like to imagine how the world would be if people were treated the way they treat everyone else.

It would be fun watching Ann Coulter's face as she's convicted of treason.

B)

u know u want one.....

Point.

I wish he would use that to advocate the reduction of criminalization of drug abuse and to eliminate substance prohibition. I am not delusional enough to think he will. He is supported by the police state monolith toa a large degree financially.
