Roy Black, representing Rush Limbaugh with regard to allegations that Limbaugh illegally obtained prescription pain medication, made a statement yesterday comparing Limbaugh to Palm Beach County Judge Robert Schwartz:

"After admitting an eight-year addiction, Judge Schwartz entered treatment voluntarily and was praised by the community, not investigated and never prosecuted by the Palm Beach State Attorney's Office. This was sensitive and appropriate for someone facing such a difficult personal challenge. All we're asking is that Rush Limbaugh be treated the same."

Moral of the story: it's good to be a judge.

Second moral: Whether an addicted drug user is a liberal, a loud-mouth conservative, a judge, a plumber, rich or poor, treatment -- not prosecution -- is the best solution to the problem.
