Geraldo, a liberal who was an ardent defender of the Clintons during the Whitewater scandal of the 90s, suggested a political motive for the prosecution of Limbaugh.Two "liberal" Faux-Hos making excuses for their boss's close friend, Big Pharma. How gallant (and balanced).
...
Geraldo also noted that the local prosecutor, Barry Krischer, has ties to Janet Reno and is a Democrat.
Geraldo's comments drew surprising support from a guest on his show: well-known liberal and Democratic pundit Susan Estrich.
"This one stinks, this one really stinks," Estrich told Geraldo about the Limbaugh investigation.
...
But Estrich believes politics, not simple justice, is motivating the prosecution of Limbaugh.
"I have been sitting here stewing about this Rush Limbaugh one for a long time. First of all this doctor shopping, how many senior citizens decide which doctor they like better? This notion they are going to get him for going to two doctors in the same thirty day period to dupe them into giving him a medication, this is an utterly ridiculous charge."
Estrich, who reportedly attended law school, certainly knows the doctor shopping law doesn't criminalize visiting multiple doctors to choose one of them for treatment, but rather obtaining multiple prescriptions from multiple doctors at the same time. (And frankly, there aren't that many senior citizens who could afford all the drugs Limbaugh was purchasing, let alone treatment from multiple doctors at the same time.)
If Estrich wins this one, she'll certainly have to thank (the other) Roger Ailes in her acceptance speech.
