RUSH LIMBAUGH AS THE LAW

Here we go again, the latest installment of "As the Pundit Panics."
While it may be true that Viagra isn't real high on the taboo list of
things that Rush Limbaugh isn't supposed to have, in his deal to stay
out of jail (read: threw money at it), he promised that he wouldn't
have any prescriptions that weren't meant for him.

As you may or may not recall, Mr. Limbaugh was at the center of a
doctorshopping scandal, admitting that he was addicted to pain
killers. As I recall from a radio broadcast some time back, he said,
all these people who are addicts, who go commit crimes to get their
fix, should be shipped off to an island where they won't be any bother
to the public.

Then he allegedly does the same, and says something to the effect of
you can't do this to me, I'm Rush Limbaugh! The rules apply to all, or
to none.

You, the readers, may or may not recall Sylvester Stallone playing the
part of Judge Dredd.

When told that he was not above the law, Dredd said, "I am the law!"
Seems that Rush is trying to do the same.
