slide_advantage_redoux Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 What a dick he is. Limbaugh Detained at Palm Beach Airport By Associated Press 3 hours ago Rush Limbaugh smiles after teeing off on the fourth ... WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Rush Limbaugh was detained for more than three hours Monday at Palm Beach International Airport after authorities said they found a bottle of Viagra in his possession without a prescription. Customs officials found a prescription bottle labeled as Viagra in his luggage that didn't have Limbaugh's name on it, but that of two doctors, said Paul Miller, spokesman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. A doctor had prescribed the drug, but it was "labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes," Roy Black, Limbaugh's attorney, said in a statement. U.S. Customs and Border Protection examined the 55-year-old radio commentator's luggage after his private plane landed at the airport from the Dominican Republic, said Miller. The matter was referred to the sheriff's office, whose investigators interviewed Limbaugh. According to Miller, Limbaugh said that the Viagra was for his use, and that he obtained it from his doctors. Investigators confiscated the drugs, which treats erectile dysfunction, and Limbaugh was released without being charged. The sheriff's office plans to file a report with the state attorney's office. Miller said it could be a second-degree misdemeanor violation. Limbaugh reached a deal last month with prosecutors who had accused the conservative talk-show host of illegally deceiving multiple doctors to receive overlapping painkiller prescriptions. Under the deal, the charge, commonly referred to as "doctor shopping," would be dismissed after 18 months if he continues to submit to random drug tests and treatment for his acknowledged addiction to painkillers.

Big Al Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 (edited) A letter to the editor in today's FW Star Telegram, regarding the wildly unfunny "comic" strip Mallard Fillmore: The June 20 comics brought me to a new personal low: writing a letter to the editor in response to a comic strip. In Mallard Fillmore, Rush Limbaugh was presented as an example of what an "actual conservative" looks like and stands for. My mind raced back to an excerpt from the feature "News of the Weird" a few weeks ago in Star Time about the sentencing of a man for illegally obtaining multiple prescriptions for OxyContin. This unfortunate soul, who committed the same offense as Limbaugh, received a 25-year prison sentence. Limbaugh, ever the strong advocate of law and order and conservative values, received a slap on the wrist. The ironies are endless. And now for that very story the writer referenced, from the 6/4/06 edition of News of the Weird: Wheelchair-confined Richard Paey committed almost exactly the same violations of Florida prescription drug laws that radio personality Rush Limbaugh did, with a different result: Limbaugh's sentence, in May, was addiction treatment, and Paey's, in 2004, was 25 years in prison. Both illegally possessed large quantities of painkillers for personal use, which Paey defiantly argued was (and will be) necessary to relieve nearly constant pain from unsuccessful spinal surgeries after an auto accident, but which Limbaugh admitted was simply the result of addiction. (In fact, if Limbaugh complies with his plea bargain, his conviction will be erased.) Paey's sentence now rests with a state Court of Appeal.

Jazzmoose Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 But...isn't Rush divorced? Why would a good family values man like Rush need Viagra? I'm confused... Quote
Ken Dryden Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 If Rush goes to trial for carrying Viagra without a prescription, it may give a whole new meaning when the judge announces "Will the defendant please rise..." Seriously, this event seems much ado about nothing. Quote
RonF Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 Seriously, this event seems much ado about nothing. Isn't Limburger on probation - or something like that? I thought part of his plea agreement was to "stay clean" for a couple of years. That means arriving from the Dominican Republic with a pill prescription for ANYTHING in someone else's name is a big NO NO. Wonder how he's spinning this one today. F*cking idiot. Quote
Dave James Posted June 27, 2006 Report Posted June 27, 2006 Ken's comment reminded me of an old one I still think is pretty funny. "The Coca Cola Company announced today that they will begin selling a soft drink containing Viagra. The new drink will be called "Mount and Do". Their marketing campaign will be centered on the catchy buzz phrase, "Pour Yourself a Stiff One." Up over and out. Quote

Not only that, but the doctor who wrote the perscription broke the law as well. I'd say he's in as much trouble, if not more, than the Rushter. Quote
