Limbaugh, Wife to Get Divorce

Ahhh yes, the sanctity of marriage indeed.

Limbaugh, Wife to Get Divorce

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. ? Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh (search) announced Friday that he and his wife, Marta, are divorcing.

The Limbaughs "mutually decided to end their marriage of 10 years" and have "separated pending an amicable resolution," according to a statement released by Limbaugh's publicist.

It was the third marriage for both Limbaugh, 53, and his 44-year-old wife, who were wed May 27, 1994 at the Virginia home of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas (search). Thomas officiated the ceremony.

The couple shared a $24 million oceanfront mansion in Palm Beach. Limbaugh often broadcasts his daily three-hour show from a Palm Beach studio.

Spokesman Tony Knight said the divorce was a personal matter and declined further comment.

The past several months have been difficult for the politically and socially conservative Limbaugh, who announced in October that he was entering drug rehabilitation because he was addicted to prescription painkillers.

At the same time, West Palm Beach (search) prosecutors announced they were investigating whether Limbaugh illegally went "doctor shopping" to obtain the pills. The practice refers to visiting several doctors to receive duplicate prescriptions of controlled narcotics.

Limbaugh, who has not been charged with any crime, has repeatedly fought back against the charges and negative publicity he's received over the matter.

Last month, he took out full-page ads in two Florida newspapers to attack prosecutors for mounting what he called a politically motivated investigation. He also regularly lashes out against prosecutors and reporters and defends himself during his show.

The criminal case against Limbaugh is on hold pending a decision from a Florida appeals court. It will decide whether the seizure of Limbaugh's medical records, which were taken by investigators in November, violated privacy laws.

Prosecutors say they need the records to determine whether to bring charges against Limbaugh.

'Tis a shame. I guess being married to a bloated, sanctimonious drug addict isn't all it's cracked up to be . . .

Married by Clarence Thomas. Man! Life is just one big SNL skit.

Can you just imagine Rush at the reception with white powder and a pube on his big fat gob screaming, "There's a hair in my coke"?

I have been persuaded of the validity of some other perspectives here from time to time. I must admit I still think the majority of posts here are trolling, so at some point my participation here will probably fade away over time. It's too bad - there are some genuinely bright, thoughtful people here, but they tend to be drowned out by smug, blindly partisan jerks.

Although I agree with Al Franken on Rush, everyone I know who got divorced went through a helluva tough time. Going through it three times can't make it any easier. In spite of myself, I can't help but feel some sympathy for the big... na I'll let that go

Care to flesh out your point? You never seem to articulate what you're talking about very clearly, and I guess I'm not seeing what you mean.

I don't see my post as partisan trolling in any way. I find Rush a hypocritical, monomaniacal windbag, and I fail to see how expressing that opinion is trolling. I will say, though, that I think it's a shame his wife will probably take tens of millions of dollars from him - that seems unfair to me. Ah well . . .

Wow, 10 years, tempus fugit.

Will have to check out the Nat'l Enquirer next time I'm in the line @ the store. People like me want to know.

"Limbaugh, Wife to Get Divorce"

I didn't even know he was married, he certainly didn't act married.

Some Exellence, Spagnoli from Richmont Times can do better. :thumbsup:

She probably found his Oxycontin stash and flushed it down the toilet.

"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use,
too many whites are getting away with drug sales, too many whites are getting
away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start
letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking
the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it,
convict them and send them up the river, too."

Rush will only benefit from this. More Rush in the news.

Maybe Jeb can arrange for him to do his show from Starke if he's convicted? That might substantially broaden the Republican base. Bwuahahahahahahahaha!!!!

I just saw a funny bumper sticker here in Orlando: "The election ain't over 'til your brother counts the votes."

When he finally came out of his drug induced haze I guess he realized Marta, his wife ,had been sleeping on the left side of the bed.

Not to worry about poor old OC Limbaugh, there are plenty of more married women like Marta was when he met her and with his bucks they will over look the fact that he is a Big Fat Noxious Bag of Hot Gas!

It must be a slow day for bad news if this is all you have to revel in.

Three divorces? Yep, allowing them homos to marry is a threat to the sanctity of marriage. .

He makes fun of them when they fail or have personal issues but you knew that as you are just being a good soldier for those who believe they and their leaders are beyond approach.

He's on when I'm at work so I really don't listen to him much. You've heard him mock people who are going through divorce?

at least half of you will get divorced...
i hope you remember you took pleasure in another person private woes, when it happens to you.

Wouldn't it be cool, hs, if Rush hooked up with Coulter?

Oh really? And how do you know that? Half of Americans may get divorced but you don't know that the posteres here will be in the 50% that get married or not.

He'd probably try to horn in on Mary Matalin instead.

Carville would put some serious smackdown on Limbaugh's deaf, drugged-up, fat ass.

 

[Gaard]

Limbaugh announces that he's getting a divorce just days after Nancy Reagan becomes available. Coincidence? I think not.

 

[smashp]

"separated pending an amicable resolution,"

Is that the proper way to say "how much money will it take to not talk about my drug stash or the scope of my durg problem or the crimes I committed" .

He sure didn't care when he belittled other's drug problems and then all of a sudden had a habit himself. I guess he reaps what he sows, and I love it.
