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 left is after rush - again.

More like the law is after Limbaugh.

I'd love to see him get his come-uppance. He's arrogant and talks too much.

Sounds very much like Viagra was the ONLY drug. I don't know the legality of getting a prescription in another name. I could EASILY see Limbaugh doing that to avoid publicity that he uses Viagra. If the prescription is indeed yours, prescribed to you but put under a different name, I'm hoping any infraction would be very minor.

One thing you can be sure of, as soon as Rush is back on the radio he will be ridiculing those who publicized this.

Hey, Rush!

Why live in Florida anymore?

Come over to Texas, in the Heart of Texas in Williamson County. A conservative area that will love you.

Don't think about living in the People's Democratic Republic of Travis County!

No State Income Taxes. No prosecutors sharpening his knives!

Drudged is linked to this story, there are no corroborating stories. Not Fox, NBC, WaPo, or even NYTimes, yet.

When people go through treatment for drugs and they are on pain medicine. It doesnt mean that they STOP taking pain medicine. They may take a different or stronger dose and be monitered.

One doesnt stop pain meds just because on is addicted. One stops the addictive behaviors.

You just got to love the way supposed "Conservatives" assume because an accusation is made the person must be guilty.

Yep. That's why I want to wait and make sure it isn't another Rove indictment story. Media Sasquatch.

If Rush is a diabetic his doctor could have prescribed Viagra.

Oh, yes....but they weren't giving them to RUSH...

I am like the others...the fact that Viagra is mentioned makes this just a chance for the local media in Florida to take a pot shot at Rush.

I'm calling BS on this until some other reputable source weighs in. The video from that local affiliate uses terms ranging from arrested, detained, being question, investigated, etc.

At this point it's all speculation and few facts.

Someone living in Williamson County couldn't be touched by Ronnie Earle unless they were an elected official. That is why Earle had the power to go after Delay.

Check the DUmpster or Kos, they'll have confirmation, eye-witnesses, on site reporters, you name it.
