Interesting, given the spin that Limbaugh's lawyer put on it that Limbaugh had to post bail. Why is that?

I must say that he comes across as a thoroughly nice guy, the kind of guy I'd want for my neighbor. Or maybe not.

"Prosecutors seized Limbaugh's medical records after learning that he received about 2,000 painkillers, prescribed by four doctors in six months, at a pharmacy near his Palm Beach mansion. The investigation was held up as prosecutors and Black battled in court over whether the records were properly seized.

"Limbaugh reported five years ago that he had lost most of his hearing, saying it was caused by an autoimmune inner-ear disease. He had surgery to have an electronic device placed in his skull to restore his hearing. But research shows that abusing opiate-based painkillers can also cause profound hearing loss.

"Before his own problems became public, Limbaugh had decried drug use and abuse and mocked    President Clinton for saying he had not inhaled when he tried marijuana. He often made the case that drug crimes deserve punishment.

""Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. ... And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up," Limbaugh said on his short-lived television show on Oct. 5, 1995."
