RUSH LIMBAUGH CASE A REAL WASTE OF TIME

Does anybody except the Palm Beach County prosecutor give a rat's patoot
whether Rush Limbaugh went "doctor hunting" for drugs? I can't figure out
how society is better served or protected by looking into this matter.

I could understand the prosecutor's zeal if some person or persons were
harmed by Rush's action. However, as near as I can tell, Rush hurt only
himself, has taken the necessary steps to ameliorate his addiction problem
and there appear to be no victims.

Yes, yes . . . I know. "Broke the law." "Nation of laws." All that grand
stuff.

So what? Surely there are more important things for the prosecutor to do
than drag a loudmouth, middle-aged radio personality to court. (As a matter
of fact, I'm already more than a bit concerned because last week I spit on
the sidewalk, and I'm afraid of that knock at my door).

Perhaps it is time for the taxpayers of Palm Beach County to tell their
prosecutor to stop wasting their money and his time.
