WorldNetDaily: Settlement ends Limbaugh drug investigation

Roy Black, Rush's attorney, gave the details in a general press release. I don't begin to understand why the Florida prosecuting attorney didn't drop the case long ago, when he couldn't get any evidence, and his repeated fishing expeditions had come to nothing. Then again, I am not a lawyer. But as a practical matter, Rush will not have a felony record, and he will pay a thirty thousand dollar remittance--in the traditional sense of "money you pay somebody to get lost"--that will not even go down on his record as a fine. (Nor, in all fairness, will Rush miss the thirty thousand dollars, which to him is pocket change.)
