Limbaugh Detained At Airport Image

Joy Purdy Reporting

(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.

The TeeVee has said that there are more drugs. The TeeVee has its ass hanging way out there on this. If they jumped the shark, Rush will OWN him a TeeVee station

"It's been rough and rocky travelin',
But I'm finally standin' upright on the ground.
After takin' several readings,
I'm surprised to find my mind`s still fairly sound.
I guess Nashville (Palm Beach) was the roughest,
But I know I said the same about them all.
We received our education
In the cities of the nation, me and Paul.
Almost busted in Laredo,
But for reasons that I'd rather not disclose,
But if you're stayin' in a motel there and leave,
Just don't leave nothin' in your clothes.
And at the airport in Milwaukee,
They refused to let us board the plane at all,
They said we looked suspicious,
But I believe they like to pick on me and Paul.
I guess Nashville was the roughest,
But I know I said the same about them all.
We received our education
In the cities of the nation, me and Paul."

Well at least Rush is in good company.

I'm no expert, but is it legally possible to get a prescription made out to someone fictitious even if its for you? Sounds awfully strange to me.

They don't actually say that the Viagra was illegal, more so that the Viagra was found among the illegal drugs. Of course, Viagra is a prescription drug so possession without a prescription would be illegal.

See no. 51.

Viagara is not mentioned, but a prescription not in his name.

I bet it's Viagara.

You just got to love the way supposed "Conservatives" assume because an accusation is made the person must be guilty. Funny how these same people never apply that standard to Democrats and other Leftist. Why is that?

WOw. This looks like a first class smear attempt. There was no story here from the beginning. Big deal...the guy uses Viagra and wants to keep it quite so he has the prescription issued in a phoney name for the sake of privacy. But no...there's no such thing as privacy in this country when you're as hated by the left as Rush is. This is a disgrace.

Watch the video on Drudge. Caption says he's been arrested, reported then says under investigation. Scrip made out to Rush's Dr. but in HIS bag.

Turned over to State Prosecutors to investigate.

Ah - he has an alias! Well. That just brings on more questions. Good work on finding that, Shermy

How much you want to bet that he has a script for it and this is just a way to get the "Rush uses Viagra" story out?

We have a Winnah!!!

Rush needs to find another place to live. I know I wouldn't live in flori-duh and I don't have any drug problems of any sort other than three Ibuprofen tablets a day but I'd assume even that could get a conservative arrested in flori-duh.

I think he'll stay here. I've heard him go on about how he wasn't going to freeze his butt in winter anymore. The tax situation for him is very good here - Part of the reason he left NYC. Plus lots of rich people and interesting people here for him to socialize with. Lots of year 'round golf too.
