New Re: Limbaugh v. Clinton
If we replace Limbaugh with Clinton, the acceptable level of invasion of privacy goes up, because Clinton was President. It also goes up if we replace Limbaugh with Bush, or Carter or Reagan, or Trent Lott. The main difference is that Limbaugh, though quite prominent, is still a private citizen. He is not on the public payroll, nor is he a government official. The others are.

PS, don't sugar coat your hatred of the man. Tell us how you really feel! ;-)

New You may be right, but that's NOT what he said
(or more accurately, that not what his paid professional mouthpiece and shield to give him plausible deniabilitylawyer said. He said: ""Unfortunately, because of Mr. Limbaugh's prominence and well-known political opinions, he is being subjected to an invasion of privacy no citizen of this republic should endure." Clinton certainly was "prominent", had "well-known political opinions", and is a "citizen of the Republic" (much to Fatass's chagrin). Finally he was "subjected to an invasion of privacy", much if it at the hands of Fatass hisself.

No, no hypocricy here, nosirree! Nothing to see here...move along, move along....
