Rush Limbaugh the new face of the GOP

In remarks aired by CNN on March 1, 2009, Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele said that Limbaugh, is "an entertainer". Steele later telephoned Limbaugh and apologized.

"I want Barack Obama to fail if his mission is to restructure and reform this country ..."

On further investigation he was not convicted, just arrested and then make a deal (kind of like pleading no contest):

On October 3, 2003 the National Enquirer reported that Limbaugh was being investigated for illegally obtaining the prescription drugs oxycodone and hydrocodone. Other news outlets quickly confirmed the investigation. He admitted to listeners on his radio show on October 10 that he was addicted to prescription painkillers and stated that he would enter inpatient treatment for 30 days, immediately after the broadcast

On April 28, 2006, Limbaugh and his attorney, Roy Black, went to the Palm Beach County Jail to surrender after a warrant was issued for his arrest on the charge of doctor shopping. According to Teri Barbera, spokeswoman for the Sheriff, during his arrest, Limbaugh was booked, photographed, and fingerprinted, but not handcuffed. He was then released after about an hour on $3,000 bail. After his surrender, he filed a "not guilty" plea to the charge. Prosecutors agreed to drop the charge if Limbaugh paid $30,000 to defray the cost of the investigation and completed an 18-month therapy regimen with his physician.

Limbaugh asserted that the state's settlement agreement resulted from a lack of evidence supporting the charge of "doctor shopping." Under the terms of the agreement, Limbaugh may not own a firearm for eighteen months and must continue to submit to random drug testing, which he acknowledges having undergone since 2003.

Previously, Limbaugh has condemned illegal drug use on his radio broadcast and has stated that those convicted of drug crimes should be sent to jail.

i agree with this guy, the GOP is the party of no for a reason. In their eyes bush is like an awesome leader, meanwhile most of the country voted against him. and all of the sudden a democrat gets into office. OMG OBAMA IS A COMMUNIST, A NAZI, A NATIONALIST!!! hes not even close to any of these. Honestly i dont like obama that much because hes not radical left wing enough.

Michael Moore, Norm Chomsky, Bill and Hilary Clinton are also hyocritcs. Sorry if I mispelled. Also what you said is not true Rush Limbaugh could vote during his 18 month probation.
