Well, there are no charges, yet. So I think he does have a point. The headline is misleading.Limbaugh's still a hypocritical ass, though, whether his boner pills are legal or not.

Where are all the privacy-mongers!?!?But wait a minute. Wait. A. Minute. Why the hell is the Sheriff's Office releasing the name of the drug--other than the attempted public humiliation of a conservative icon? Why wouldn't it have sufficed to identify it as a non-narcotic prescription drug?Here's Sen. Hillary Clinton quoted in a huge story in the San Francisco Chronicle yesterday on Americans' loss of privacy: Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., says she will introduce a "privacy bill of rights" because identity theft and security failures of personal records have become "one of the most important issues facing us as individuals and as a nation."There's an A1 story recently in the Washington Post on the need for stronger enforcement of federal medical privacy laws.To its credit, the ACLU went to bat to protect Rush's medical privacy.But what about all the rest of the gloaters? Next time they pontificate about privacy, remember this. It is only invasion of privacy when it happens to people they agree with.Shame, shame. I suspect legions of the the rich and famous do not use their real names on prescriptions for this exact reason - I doubt anyone is stopping by the Walgreen's and telling the clerk to look under "Jolie" or "Pitt"! And they certainly don't check into the hospital under their real names. This is a nonstory, with the only aim to humilate Rush. Shame on them.
