Limbaugh announces end of 10-year marriage

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh announced Friday that he and his wife, Marta, were 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.
The couple shared a $24 million oceanfront mansion in nearby Palm Beach. Limbaugh often broadcasts his daily three-hour show from a studio in a commercial area of Palm Beach.
Spokesman Tony Knight said the matter was personal and declined further comment.
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. Thomas officiated the ceremony.
The past several months have been difficult for Limbaugh, who announced in October that he was entering a drug rehabilitation program because he was addicted to painkillers.
At the same time, prosecutors here announced they were investigating whether Limbaugh illegally went "doctor shopping" to obtain pain 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 a politically motivated investigation. He also accused one of the newspapers of trying to discredit him. Limbaugh also regularly lashes out against prosecutors and reporters and defends himself during his show.
The criminal case against him is on hold pending a decision from the 4th District Court of Appeal. The court 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.
I'm sure it was the rising tide of gay marriage that destroyed his.
If you want to attack Rush Limbaugh, there are ample reasons to do so. Some examples might be:
- I don't agree with him on what tax rates should be
- I don't agree with him on affirmative action
- I think he broke the law regarding prescription drugs
But do you have to call him names? Isn't that just a little juvenile?
i agree with doglover. Rush has made a career of savaging people by calling attention to their"challenges" but hey, thats show biz. Limbaugh has never let facts, evidence , or historic events get in his way when he tries to make some wacky point.
I was listening week before last and he said that the comparison between Afghanistan/Iraq was the same as Japan/Germany. Heres his logic
We were attacked by Japan but we started to battle Germany also.
How bout a big Duhhh for the man
During the Reagan funeral they had him doing a play by play and he was obviously high cause he was screwing up the facts and timeline really badly.
I think hes gonna implode sometime in the future because even his staunch supporters are beginning to put some distance between him and them.
As far as his marriage, big deal. I dont think anyone could stand being around him for long peiods of time.
So you're going to sink to his level?
THEN HE WINS
how do you figure? Im merely reporting what Rush was doing on the air. I wasnt making any references to any physical challenges
Oh yeh, theres that drug thing , ok , if he wins then all the ditto heads deserve that kind of entertainment. I hope thyre smart enough to distinguish Rush from the" heroin" talking
I don't see anything unique about Limbaugh's breakup with his wife. Looks like he's like the average American.

Look at J.Lo and her 3 marriages and she isn't 40 yet!
Live by the sword die by the sword....if Limbaugh didn't delight in hateful and petty name calling he wouldn't be the object of it......
I've never heard J.Lo preaching to America about divorce like Limbaugh does in DogL's thread...there's a difference and a hypocrite is even more evident. What a smug, smarmy idiot...there...I said it. LOL
This man is obviously a serial monogamist
If it weren't for his millions, Rush would never be able to get a woman into bed much less marry him. LOL
Stumble It!
