maelakin, thankyou for your frank and open discussion of your own past - it's always interesting to read of another person's experiences and how that's changed their perspective.
while i agree with LK that over the line is over line (ie that's what illegal means), the law has lots of precedents to show that some crimes are worse than others. you dont get life (or the DP) for stealing a storm trooper action figure from the grocery store when you're 11 yrs old (not that i'm admitting to anything!). so, yes, he's a criminal now and should wear the stigmata of that just like any other - but only in proportion to the severity of the crime.
regarding however hypocritical rush may or may not have been in the past, i'm more interested to see if he changes the tune he sings, given his own ordeal. i, for one, dont believe this leopard can change its spots. but only after he proves it will i jump [back] onto the bash limbaugh bandwagon.
