Limbaugh's latest drug run-in: Viagra
Police say commentator had drug without a prescription

Monday, June 26, 2006; Posted: 10:54 p.m. EDT (02:54 GMT)


Rush Limbaugh's lawyer said the Viagra was labeled with a doctor's name to protect Limbaugh's privacy.

The 55-year-old radio commentator's luggage was examined by U.S. Customs and Border Protection after his private plane landed at the airport around 2 p.m. from the Dominican Republic, said Paul Miller, spokesman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

Customs officials found in Limbaugh's luggage a prescription bottle labeled as Viagra, a prescription drug that treats erectile disfunction, Miller said.

"The problem was that on the bottle itself was not his name, but the name of two Florida doctors," Miller said.

The matter was turned over to the sheriff's office, whose investigators interviewed Limbaugh.

"He said he had the Viagra in his possession for his use and that he did obtain it from his doctors," Miller said.

Sheriff's investigators confiscated the drugs, and Limbaugh was released around 5:30 p.m. without being charged.

However, the sheriff's office plans to file a report with the state attorney's office.

"We believe there may be a second degree misdemeanor violation, which is possession of certain drugs without a prescription, because the bottle does not have his name on it," Miller said.

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.

Last month, Limbaugh reached a deal with prosecutors who had accused the conservative talk-show host of illegally deceiving multiple doctors to receive overlapping pain pill prescriptions. Under the deal, a single charge commonly referred to as "doctor shopping" would be dismissed after 18 months if he complies with terms that include submitting to random drug tests and continuing treatment for his acknowledged addiction to painkillers.

More conservative values from 'ol Rushbo.

Diego, shouldn't you be out on the 'net, looking for kids or something?

You're like a mentally stable IB, from the right.

Diego, from the right??

Methinks you've got Diego's politics severely confused with somebody else's.

Nah, read it again, Van. It is Annie, with a caveat, after all. Something Annie could've posted, if she were mentally stable.

Guess I just don't get the part about "from the right" then, if it's not about his politics.

Went over my head. I'll take my leave here...

:-)

I hope I'm not wasting my time trying to get on the bonk when I'm 55.

Come on!! They are just picking on him now.

He is an arrogant boob but this seems to be a set up by the Left Wing Vultures..


Let the man have his Viagara in peace!!

Yes. Blame the Lefties for a middle-aged man not being able to to get a hard-on and having to import prescription drugs illegally.

What it really comes down to is Rush Limbaugh has a higher expectation of privacy for himself than he does of others. Who else has prescriptions issued to them without their name on the freaking bottle?

Either that, or his lawyer is lying and Limbaugh is guilty of even more drug charges.

Absolutely! Why, I'll bet it was Al Franken and Bill Maher themselves who tipped off the Feds!

Who gives a fuck

I guess Rush does (or did!)..with a little help from his friends.....

Apparently some Domminican prostitutes.

I love it when people see a thread, open a thread, read a thread, press 'post reply' on a thread, and then write how little of a fuck they give about the thread.

I meant who gives a shit if the guy uses Viagra? So he cant get it up???

Cicero wrote:I meant who gives a shit if the guy uses Viagra??

What if he's using it with a fraudelently acquired prescription??

Cicero wrote:I meant who gives a shit if the guy uses Viagra? So he cant get it up???

He apparently is already guilty of a misdemeanor. And since he's already on a plea deal, it is possible that he might now be subject to further penalties for violating that deal.

In short, the guy is a dipshit for taking that kind of a chance.

when are we gonna get the obligatory comparison between a single man renting some coooch in the carribean to them married POTUS fukking an underling?

the fact that this non-event made the news circles is pretty damn pathetic.

Looks like we just did.

Surprised it took this long. Maybe the right talking heads are just more focused on Hillary than Bill these days.

We do.

Sincer-

40ish depressed suburban housewives abusing oxycotin.

You coulda just stopped there.

And how very unsurprising to see mvscal giving support to Rush Limbaugh's cock.

~gasp~ My goodness!! A misdemeanor, you say? He should be impeached!

No, he should be ridiculed. And he will be. He's lost any credibility he ever might have had.

Are you suggesting he's been rendered impotent ?

mvscal wrote:...well if you say so.

What were his exact words? Oh yea, I think I remember now.

Good one Tom.

Yeah. I think he should switch parties, win a seat in Congress and then keep 90K in bribe money in his freezer.

You can turn off the panic attack now, Diego; a pedometer isn't what you think it is

we're on top of this, again--------

I thought Mr. Snerdly's job was to keep that cocktail frank fluffed and ready for action.

He certainly seemed alarmed by the prospect of Rush Limbaugh on Viagra.

Can't really blame him. Along with vivisection, the movie "Hostel," and pictures of William Shatner in a swimming suit, it's not really an image I want in my head.

Nishlord wrote:Yes. Blame the Lefties for a middle-aged man having to import prescription drugs illegally.

Yeah, viagra is a governmentally monitored drug that takes extreme stealth to acquire; and finding a country willing to allow "importing" of said controlled substance is rare indeed.....

Or just have a defense contractor supply him.

BWAAAAAAAAA!!

Let it be noted that bab's still holds that Rusp Limpdick HAS credibility!!


And for the record, I had "Limpdick" thusly and accurately coined a long time ago.

Did you hear him this morning? Priceless! He was unusually effusive--sort of like Newt Gingrich when HIS medication is kicking in. Limpdick was pretending to chortle about what a great time he'd had in the Dominican--with Karl Rove, notorious bottom bitch, btw.

Ridiculed for having erectile disfunction? How very third grade of you.

That was last time. Whatever audience he had left after the oxycontin mess won't leave this time. Especially since if he's smart, Limbaugh will just turn it into a big self-deprecating joke to defuse the situation and all of the ditto-heads will laugh right along with him. It's freaking Viagara. It ain't like he was taking it to get high...

OCmike wrote:Ridiculed for having erectile disfunction?

No, ridiculed for trying to HIDE his erectile disfunction. And for thinking that he is above the same kind of rules and regulations that we all have to follow.

I could care less if die hard dittochimps still listen to him. Laughing at Limbaugh and his cultists is simply fun.

Wrong.

He should be ridiculed for pulling the viagra shit while still trying to work a deal for hix oxy bust.

Can't wait until his new "roommates" make him into their own Ann Coulter. :twisted:

Oh, America's favorite fat fascist ain't going nowhere. Not in Florida, anyway. And besides, as everyone knows, viagra isn't just for guys who can't get their crank up--it's simply a divascular (allowing blood to flow) which of course works on bored frigid labias as well as soul-dead republican pricks. And if you add a little MDMA, well, sheeeeit, you neocon bottom bitch, you might just REALLY come.
