Drudge reports that a Palm Beach county judge was removed from the bench in 2002 for being addicted to Oxycontin. Despite being in the same jurisdiction and under very similar circumstances, Palm Beach prosecutors have yet to conduct a doctor shopping investigation like they are with conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh. As Drudge points out, this certainly lends credenct to Limbaugh's assertion that he is being unfairly targeted.

In other railroading news, Martha Stewart was convicted "of covering up crimes the government couldn't prove she committed." That one juror emerged from the court room and said sticking it to Martha was a victory for "the average guy" speaks volumes. Envy is a very powerful emotion.
