I'd have to admit I was taking this stuff seriously until the AP reported that among the drugs Limbaugh reportedly took was Niacin.

Niacin! Hello!

Go look at your box of breakfast cereal and read the contents. Chances are you will see Niacin listed. It is also available OTC in 250mg and 500mg doses and my cardiologist has me taking these.

Next, they'll accuse Limbaugh of abusing Vitamin C and exposing his ties to Florida Orange Juice manufacturers.

The other thing I found noteworthy in this story is that the raids included Limbaugh's insurance claims. Excuse me? While Rush can certainly afford whatever insurance he wants, I'm guessing Rush can also afford not to have health insurance or, in it's place, one with a high enough deductable that it would be useless to provide prescriptions.

It would be Grade A stupidity if Rush was getting multiple prescriptions from nultiple doctors and then leaving a paper trail of insurance claims to prove he did so. I'd believe cheap bastard Democrats would do this (remember Clinton's claiming tax deductions for underwear a few years ago?) But a sharp tack like Limbaugh? C'mon!

Finally, why raid the doctors? Can't they just subpoena the records or are they claiming the *doctors* are the guilty party, thus the need for gestapo tactics?
