Rush Arrested, Finger-Printed and Mugshot!

The Public has the right to Know the truth. Your commentary on Rush Limbaugh is completely inaccurate. He was not and never has been arrested and his agreement is not probation. You better stick to attacking the idiots in Thibodaux and leave those with IQ's over 40 alone.

Honey, its called denial, that's what you're in. Professional help is available, angry white guy. When someone is finger-printed and mugshot, he is arrested. One follows the other. Ask any cop you meet on the street. They don't go through that procedure unless you have been arrested. They cut Rush some serious slack by not making him do the perp walk for the cameras. They paid him the courtesy of allowing him to turn himself in.

OH! OK! I got it. You want to play semantics. Sweetheart, a surrender is also a courtesy extended by law enforcement. It is a surrender to the authorities in lieu of being arrested. Had he not surrendered, he would have been arrested. Same result, a booking - fingerprinting, mugshot,$3,000 bail. (See the one before last paragraph in the story.)

What Rush got was "diversion". It is an alternative to going through the criminal legal process of arraignment, pre-trial negotiation and trial or plea. In Louisiana this alternative procedure is designed for first time offenders and is called "pre-trial intervention". It is an authority that is at the discretion of all District Attorneys in La. The idea is to give those who don't have a history of criminal activity a second chance. We usually see this in minor drug cases and 1st offense DWIs.

Rush is on probation. One of the requirements of the agreement is that he pays a $30.00 per month supervision fee. That is supervision by a probation officer. That's right, Rush must go through the indignity of meeting with a probation officer once a month.

You can spin this whatever way you want to, but the fact is your hero is a stone junkie. May be a recovering junkie, but a junkie nonetheless.

Also, professional wrestling is staged! It is entertainment! It ain't for real!

What may also surprise you is that there is no Easter bunny! Furthermore, there is no tooth fairy! And, (you'll love this) there is no free lunch, except maybe for ne'er do well rich kids like W!

Furthermore, I take umbrage at your suggestion that people in Thibodaux are idiots. They may well descend from simple farm and plantation folk and possess a bad sense of entitlement to share disproportionately in the riches of the 10th Ward, but they do have some good qualities. Some of their houses are nice. They have preserved their historic district, more or less. A few of them are attractive females. They produce some decent judges and meals.
