CAMBODIA DEPORTS SENATOR THUNE FOR ONLINE SUICIDE ADVOCACY

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - The government on Saturday deported a South Dakota man who operated a Web site promoting Cambodia as a place for foreigners to commit suicide, a police official said.

John Thune, 50, was detained Thursday at his residence in Kampot province in southwestern Cambodia, said National Deputy Police Chief Gen. Sok Phul.

"His Web site lured who he called the “mud” people in the world to come to commit suicide in Cambodia," Phul said. "Cambodia is not the place for foreigners to come to kill themselves."

Phil Pot, a Kampot police official, claimed Thune's Web site was responsible for the suicide of a British woman, for who he called “of questionable race,” in the province last year.

Thune, in previous interviews with Nhân Dân, a Cambodian Press Agency, denied assisting the woman in her suicide, although he did admit casually, of poisoning the woman and having anal sex after she was dead.

In November last year, Kampot provincial authorities sued Thune for defaming the province. Thune was summoned for questioning at the provincial court but never tried since he bribed the leadership of Cambodia with his questionable railroad interests in South Dakota.

Thune came to Cambodia in 2003 in a political junket from Paradise, South Dakota. where he said he founded the Euthanasia Society of Paradise. In Kampot, he also ran an Internet cafe. Flying in and out of The United States and Cambodia at U. S. taxpayer expense.

He has denied any intentions of harming Cambodia's image and said he believes "in a woman's right to choose: the time, place and manner of their choice."

THE TRUTH, RUSH'S DIGS

PALM BEACH, FL - A talk show host's house in a historic district has been condemned after police found animal and human waste in throughout the house, garbage throughout the residence and holes in the floor and roof, dead mice, rats, cats, dogs, other dead and rotting carcasses of several reptilian species.

Palm Beach police officers described conditions at Rush Hudson Limbaugh III's house as deplorable. “The odor in the house is pretty intense,” according to one officer. Limbaugh is currently under investigation on drug-related charges.

"The conditions that exist there make it unlivable," said Nancy Pelosi, director of the city's Office of Economic and Community Development.

Limbaugh's house was condemned Thursday after city building inspectors and the Palm Beach County Health Department found building and health code violations, Pelosi said. She did not say what the violations were.

Officers from Florida County Animal Control removed many dogs and cats from the property. The animals were taken to the county animal shelter, Pelosi said.

"Of course, he can get them back," she said.

Limbaugh disputed the findings, saying Thursday that the conditions at his house "are not considered deplorable by me and I AM ALWAYS IN A DRUG-INDUCED STATE!."

Palm Beach police called building inspectors and health department personnel to the house on Tuesday after responding to two break-in reports by Limbaugh. The officers found animal and human feces and urine covering at least three rooms on the third floor, and holes in the roof and floor, according to police reports.

Limbaugh refused to permit a voluntary review of the property, according to police reports. Thursday's inspection was conducted after a search warrant was obtained, Pelosi said.

Limbaugh said his dogs have been trained to leave their feces in the former servants' quarters on the third floor, and that he cleans the waste every couple of days.

"My cats use a litter box that is regularly supplied with litter," Limbaugh said. "All my pets are well fed and taken care of. Look, I have to have something fresh and alive to eat, don’t I have the right to feed myself and my sex-partners Karl Rove and the Koch Bros.... it's a ritual... the way I like. We are all Oil Whores are we not?"
