There is no "dodging" ...

Then what would you call ignoring and side-stepping a rebuttal to your claims, only to dismiss it as a "rant"?

but there is concern for you. If you don't see that, ok. That is your decision.

Suuuuure. Your feigned concern was old the first time you used it.

But for someone who is telling me to "lighten up," you sure went all haywire when I used the word "criminal." Maybe you should take your own advice.

Be well ... ok ? This has gone too far.

That doesn't mean I wouldn't say anything if a big anti-gay person turned out to be gay. It's hypocritical to be against something when you are taking part in it yourself, whether it's drugs, homosexuality, prostitutes, child molestation, etc.

You mean somethign like this?

Gay sex scandal rocks Spokane

Spokane Mayor Jim West, who championed an anti-gay agenda during his tenure as one of the most powerful Republicans in the Legislature, yesterday admitted to using the trappings of his current office to entice what he thought was a young adult man but denied allegations that he molested two young boys more than 20 years ago.

JANUARY 23--Plea negotiations between Rush Limbaugh and Florida prosecutors stalled last month when government officials insisted that the radio host cop to a felony, rejecting a defense suggestion that Limbaugh simply enter a pretrial diversion program and "continue to receive treatment for his addiction." In an exchange of letters (copies of which you'll find below), Roy Black, Limbaugh's attorney, and prosecutor James Martz offered starkly different versions of the punishment Limbaugh, 53, should receive were he to admit that he engaged in "doctor shopping" to score prescription painkillers and other drugs. In his December 15 letter, Martz argued that Palm Beach investigators had evidence to support "in excess of ten felony counts" against Limbaugh. Copies of the Black-Martz correspondence were released to reporters pursuant to a freedom of information request. In November, agents executed search warrants at the offices of three Limbaugh doctors in an attempt to determine whether he illegally obtainied drugs like OxyContin, Hydrocodone, and Xanax.

Rush Limbaugh's Dominican Stag Party
29 Viagra pills, two "24" producers among radio star's all-male crew

JULY 6--Rush Limbaugh was traveling with four other men--including the producers of the hit show "24"--when he was detained over a mislabeled bottle of Viagra found in his luggage during a Customs search. A Department of Homeland security passenger manifest shows that Limbaugh and his four buddies flew from the Dominican Republic on a Gulfstream IV jet owned by Premiere Radio Networks, which syndicates his radio program. Limbaugh returned to Palm Beach, Florida on June 26 with Joel Surnow, "24"'s co-creator and executive producer and Howard Gordon, another of the Fox hit's executive producers (Hollywood agent Jeffrey Benson was also part of the Limbaugh quintet). With all those guys in tow, it is unclear what Limbaugh needed with those 29 100mg Viagra pills. The passenger manifest was among several documents released today by the Palm Beach County State's Attorney in response to a TSG open records request. Included in the material released were a copy of the handwritten statement Limbaugh provided investigators after he was detained upon the discovery of the impotency drug. An affidavit sworn three days later by Limbaugh was also released. In that document, Limbaugh explains that the Viagra "was intended for my exclusive use" and that the drug had been prescribed in the name of his drug treatment doctor, Steven Strumwasser, "to further maintain and protect my privacy." (4 pages)

The ironic thing is, if having the prescription under someone else's name was to protect his privacy, it sure did backfire because he got caught with the prescription-only drug having someone else's name on it and got caught by authorities, bringing it to the eye of the public.

What a scandal. A 50 something with VIAGRA ! Forget gun toting crack dealers. This guy needs to be in prison. What a menace to society!

That was humor.

Your constant ragging about a 50 something guy with Viagara ?

That is what requires counseling.

I thought you wanted to end this, but you come back and mischaracterize the issue again...

But yes, it is quite funny. Hence the jokes and the Robin Williams bit on Leno I posted, in case you missed it.

Here is a good take on what happens daily in our judicial system: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/10/19/INGQF2BD1J1.DTL After searching around a bit I was unable to find an original article describing the disparity in penalties for the rich and the poor. If my memory serves the same day rush took his plea bargain on the doctor shopping charges, another man was sentenced to 30 plus years for the same infraction. It was also this persons first brush with the law in Florida. Further, we did not see Jeb's daughter do any time whatsoever for crimes she committed.

That was a great article. We now have proof that people like you and the author of this article think that becoming addicted to legally prescribed drugs is the same as someone taking illegal drugs.

Based on your logic, alcoholics should also be treated as criminals, afterall, alcohol, as is a presciption for Oxycontin, are legal substances.

As for the Bush daughter, she was sent to forced drug rehabilitation and did, in fact, serve some jail time.
