Rush Given A Free Pass
Via All Hat, No Cattle, Rush Limbaugh was arrested on one count of fraudulently obtaining prescription medication [doctor shopping], but he isn’t going to trial or prison.
In New York we called the process ACD [adjournment in contemplation of dismissal]. He spends 18 months in a rehabilitation program, pays for the cost of the investigation, keeps his nose clean, and everything disappears. No record of anything.
Some poor kid with a couple of marijuana cigarettes caught within 1000 feet of a convenience store would be facing years in prison, but wealthy white Republicans walk away with their voting rights intact.

That irritates me to no end. That rich bastard can get away with this, but he was the one that was yipping away on the radio to throw the drug abusers in jail, etc…
Treatment is a better choice that jail, but everyone should get it, not just the wealthy and well-connected.
