(CBS4 News) WEST PALM BEACH Sources have confirmed to CBS4 News that conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been detained at Palm Beach International Airport for the possible possession of illegal prescription drugs Monday evening.

Limbaugh was returning on a flight from the Dominican Republic when officials found the drugs, among them Viagra.

Limbaugh entered a plea deal back in April in a previous case where his charge of fraud to conceal information to obtain prescriptions was dropped under the condition he continue undergoing treatment for addiction.

Limbaugh had admitted to being addicted to pain killers on his radio program and had entered a rehabilitation program prior to that arrest.

Now Drudge is showing a line that says:

"UPDATE: Rush Limbaugh 'had no illegal drugs or prescription drug obtained illegally in his possession,' source says..."

[RandallFlagg]

Ruh-roh! I just got back from Walgreen's with the bottle of EEEVIL prescription drugs for someone other than me (My Wife)

I'll just assume the position and await the probing...

[MOgirl]

Hello,

Some pretend to be what they are not, some believe they are above others. Some should look in a mirror.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

[AppyPappy]

Looks poorly shopped

[eddie willers]

Friendly advice....read thread before posting.

I carry my thyroid medicine also..in its prescription bottle...and I also have to carry Xanax with me..because I suffer from panic attacks...

I don't carry the actual written scripts...because I use those at the pharmacy..but, the bottles have my name on them.

If I were ever in a car accident, I would expect to be asked about them...

(Actually, it's not embarrassing. Many men just keep it around for a little extra boost. It doesn't mean that he has a medical problem.)

I agree. Also many men who are diabetic require Viagra if they want to have sex.

Federal Law:
Caution: Federal law prohibits the transfer of this drug to any person other than the patient for whom it was prescribed.

The HIPPA law also requires a patient to submit proof of who you are to pick up a prescription. Not even a family member can pick up a prescription for another family member without the written permission of the other family member.

Ooops... Drudge has an update.

UPDATE: Rush Limbaugh 'had no illegal drugs or prescription drug obtained illegally in his possession,' source says...

[West Coast Conservative]

From Drudge:

"UPDATE: Rush Limbaugh 'had no illegal drugs or prescription drug obtained illegally in his possession,' source says..."

[Imgr8t]

Drive by. Case, point and match.

[A CA Guy]

Seems the press don't want to ever find or acknowledge WMD unless it is in Rush Limbaugh's pants.

[cornfedcowboy]

like I said, under 20 million people watch Olberman.

[AmishDude]

No, he's never talked about his 1st ex-wife either and that was well before he would have any settlements. It might be part of the settlement with Marta. I'm sure her lawyers would insist on it.

[dfwgator]

Non-story. Not that it is going to stop the drive-by media.

[Political Junkie Too]

The Drive-By Media will use it to push the Bill Keller NYT story off the front page.

[Veloxherc]

Look at drudge now. It now say rush had NO illegal drugs.

[khnyny]

Are there stats out there re how many people listen to Rush? I think he's got the best show out there, radio or TV. It's really no wonder the left hate him so and want to bring him down.

[Perdogg]

That's why I would go to the DR. Clothing optional beaches and plenty of hot babes!

[nopardons]

Well, we'll just have to wait and see what this all REALLY is about.

[devane617]

Don't need the advise.
