That's a good point, Lord Kathan, so let's look at it from a criminal justice standpoint. If charges had been filed against Rush Limbaugh, what punishment could he have expected to recieve. Seeing as how he is a first-time offender, there is a good chance the judge would have given him a suspended sentence on the condition that he enter a Rehab Program.

Rush entered the Rehab Program on his own, so he already did what the courts would have been most likely to do also.

Don't get me wrong...I agree 100% that he would have faced a tougher go of it if he weren't a celebrity, but then that is true for ALL celebrities.

There is a country song called "When Your a Celebrity" and it addresses how differently they are treated in our society. The line that sums it up the best says.....

"You can break any law, and just get community service".

And that's true for any celebrity....not just "Bash" Limbaugh.
