Ted, They offered to end the investigation if Limbaugh pleaded guilty to a single felony for "doctor shopping" and agreed to a three-year probation, a deal that Limbaugh's attorney Roy Black called "preposterous."

Interesting. Seems like if Rush's legal team thought he was going to lose, they would have accepted this plea bargain. How bad could probation be?


Tenchusatsu, frankly, I don't understand it. It sounds like the prosecutors consider the charges to be worse than I thought they were. Then again, it could be just a lot of legal posturing.

BTW, on KCS, I am waiting to see what the NG withdrawal is this week. Most people are expecting it be high......over 200 Bcf. If it is and the market acts contrarily and dings the stocks, I plan to sell and take profits. I am worried that the the negative trading of the past few days is suggesting that the market is selling because the end of the heating season is near. Don't know if that is right but I don't want to lose any more of my profits than I have. Just a head's up.

It would make him a convicted felon...may not mean much to a rich man, but I assure you that it does to an average joe.

Has Rush yet compared his own rarely, if ever, prosecuted technicality of law to the rarely, if ever, prosecuted technicality of law Clinton faced?

I'm a bit foggy, but if I remember correctly the legal problem for Clinton was perjury in a civil deposition of a case that was dismissed--and that no one ever before had been charged in such a matter.
