LOL. . .surprise, surprise, did Oxy Rush lie to his fans about absence?

[wndycty]

Today I took it upon myself to listen to Rush at work and his replacement said that Rush had a Dr.'s appointment and Rush also mentioned that on his website:

"Let me give you a programming note. I'm not going to be here tomorrow, folks. I gotta go back out to the ear doctor out there on the left coast. Something strange has begun to happen, just a minor technical thing, but I have to go to the doctor's office to get it fixed. I've never spent a whole lot of time getting into the details of how it is I hear now since I'm deaf, other than to say I have a cochlear implant."

But it appears he (or at least his lawyers) had a court date today and LOST!

Florida high court refuses to hear Limbaugh appeal
By JILL BARTON
Associated Press Writer

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The Florida Supreme Court said Thursday it will not consider an appeal from conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh over prosecutors' seizure of his medical records during an investigation into whether he illegally purchased painkillers.

The 4-3 order did not explain the court's reasoning.

Limbaugh's attorney had argued that an appeals court misconstrued Florida law when it ruled prosecutors could obtain the records with search warrants.

Prosecutors seized Limbaugh's medical records in 2003 for an investigation into whether he illegally purchased prescription painkillers, but they have remained sealed, pending the outcome of Limbaugh's appeals. Investigators allege that Limbaugh "doctor shopped," illegally visiting multiple doctors to receive duplicate prescriptions.

So did Rush really have a doctors appointment or was his absence related to his court case. . .hmmmmmm!

1. I bet his ear doctor is his lawyer.

Handy to have a lawyer who can prescribe heavy-duty painkillers.

3. *

good one, they lie so much, and usually it's only a few people who catch it. I've caught many of these types of things myself.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

4. WHERE???????????????

[wndycty]

2. Of course his fans won't mind him lying to them

:kick:

[jayfish]

7. Not Only A Lie,...

but an out and out campaign of deception. Cover story and all. They'll sympathize with him though.

Nice catch BTW.

12. Rush Limbaugh could burn down an orphanage

and you'll still have a hard-core group of ditto-heads saying, " Well everybody has a bad day once ib awhile".

16. Hi Treblig!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[madeline_con]

5. Deport Rush!

He said we should deport drug abusers, so I'll help him pack, if you'll hold the door open, and take aim to kick his ass out!

[LdyGuique]

6. It's too bad that Limby has the "hear no evil" monkey (on his back)

I would have preferred the "speak no evil" one.

[MADem]

9. Most people call their lawyer their MOUTHPIECE

He, apparently, calls his an EARPIECE.

Well, he has his head up his ass, no wonder he gets confused.

10. I found this intriguing...

"I've never spent a whole lot of time getting into the details of how it is I hear now since I'm deaf, other than to say I have a cochlear implant."


I thought the implant that he got made him able to hear again, just not as well as he used to. Regardless, after all of the hate he has spewed over the years all I can say is, "Karma is a bitch ain't it rush?"

[goodboy]

11. He's running and hiding! He's gonna be arrested, and doesn't want

to be RIPPED off the air and marched off in handcuffs and leg shackles.

[Gabi Hayes]

13. ha....they're talking about it on Majority Report

Sam 'sympathizes' with somebody being able to keep secret how one could obtain thousands of pills over a period of a couple months/doctor shopping, etc.

[wndycty]

14. Did they mention. . .

. . .that he told his listeners he had a doctors appointment today?

[wndycty]

15. Kick

:kick:

Hopefully Oxy Rush will talk about us today.
