Rush Limbaugh

I used to enjoy listening to this blabber mouth on the radio. He was spot on when Clinton was President. He jabbed and cajoled at all the politicos that were busily directing our countries monetary resources to their own needs and concerns. Rush shined a kleg light on them and made them scurry. He was pro-Republican. He became their top cheerleader. His voice assisted them in obtaining control of both Houses of Congress and the Presidency.

“O’ for the gift the Giftie gee us, to see ourselves as others see us” are no truer words spoken by Mr. Burns. The Democrats made themselves into the collective town fool which was the biggest reason for their downturn. The Repubs have followed their lead and are taking a similar approach to their victory.

Brother Limbaugh denied his addiction to painkillers. Because he is a big man and is in the spotlight, the light only got brighter and now we are all aware of his issues. His prestige, wealth and connections served to get him off the hook. When confronted about his issues, he offered the “socko line” that he is cured and it was all a misunderstanding and we should overlook this bump in the road, after all he settled his legal battle. Let's move on

Because of this I no longer respect his opinion. I today's news we see that he has his ass in a sling one more time. Read on:

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.
