Cruel And Unusual

A lawsuit was recently filed against the city of Houston.

A woman received a traffic ticket for driving on the berm. She objected, saying her car was breaking down and she was just pulling over. For such uppity back-talk, the cop arrested her and took her to jail.

While driving her to the slammer, the cop cranked up the Rush Limbaugh show on the radio in his cruiser, in which, according to the woman, Limbaugh made numerous "derogatory comments" about black people. The cop laughed loudly at Rush's racial witticisms and refused to change the station or turn off the radio.

Once at the cop shop, all charges were immediately dropped and the woman was released. Now she's suing the city for false imprisonment and intentionally inflicting emotional distress.

Listening to Limbaugh can indeed be torture, so this sounds to me like a clear-cut case of cruel and unusual punishment!

With his signature charm and sensitivity, the Great Gasbag felt compelled to weigh in on the topic. Said Dimbulb: "We don't make derogatory comments about blacks. We make derogatory comments about liberals."

Hey Rush, why don't you eat a liberal amount of Oxycontin and take a really long nap?
