Limbaugh guilty of one count of Doctor Shopping - tentatively.

Based on a Press release by his attorney, Roy Black, Rush Limbaugh has agreed to accept a single count of Doctor shopping filed today by the Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office. Rush has filed a response of "Not Guilty", and the charge will be held in abayence for 18 months. The state of Florida will drop the charge it has filed after 18 months if Rush remains in the drug treament program he is currently in for that period, pays $30 a month for the cost of supervision, and pays a fine of $30,000 which Roy Black, Rush's attorney, characterizes as "paying for the cost of the investigation.

This is a Yahoo News release based on a Press release by Limbaugh's attorney, Roy Black. Or, to state it more explicitly, this could not possibly be presented as more favorable to Rush Limbaugh.

I'd say that Roy Black has (so far) earned his very high fees. Rush is a drug addict and hypocrite who attacks other drug addicts in his show. The state of Florida, run by Jeb Bush, is a very favorable place for him to be operating.
