RUSH BLAMES OTHERS

In a move typical of the hypocritical right wing, Rush Limbaugh's attorney blames politics for an investigation into the illegal sale of painkillers.

"Suddenly an elected public official could not ignore the name Rush Limbaugh," said Limbaugh's attorney Roy Black on NBC's "Today" show. Black is also a paid NBC commentator. "They are looking to publicly embarrass him and effect his radio program. ... Why is Rush Limbaugh only person treated like this in America?"

They control the presidency, both houses of Congress, most TV news stations and practically monopolize talk radio, and yet THEY are the victims? It's admirable how Limbaugh stopped short of blaming liberals, President Clinton, homosexuals and rap music for his woes.

You gotta love that sense of personal responsibility.
