MIAMI, June 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Roy Black, Rush Limbaugh's attorney, issued the following statement today in response to several inquiries by the media:

While going through routine Customs inspection of luggage at Palm Beach International Airport upon his return from an international trip, Rush Limbaugh was detained by customs agents after they noticed a non-narcotic prescription drug, which had been prescribed by Mr. Limbaugh's treating physician but labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes. After a brief interview, Mr. Limbaugh was permitted to continue on his journey.

That Florida Prosecutor is not going to rest until he brings Rush down. He really needs to get out of Florida.

It is the federal government that operates customs.

What makes us think that Waterloo was a guy? Notice the past tense.

[AliVeritas]

Where did you see false name? You meant the two doctors' names?

[M0sby]

OOOOH MY THANKYOU!!!
It took me several minutes to change my profanity into "post-able" language!
:-)

What a WACKO That one was..

[rlmorel]

LOL...would it make any difference to her? I bet not...

[defconw]

I have one thing to say to Chloe, "I'll get you my pretty".

[CaliGangsta]

I can't wait for Rush's show tomorrow, it's gonna be a great show for sure.

Anyone not named Rush Limbaugh wouldn't have been detained for a bottle of Viagra and you can sure as hell bet the story wouldn't have been leaked.

To win the War On Drugs, some eggs must be broken.

What does this have to do with Rush and Viagra? I'm not getting what you're saying.

I could be reaching here, but I would venture to say that was an attempt at humor.

[AliVeritas]

Not to mention you can get them over the web without even seeing a doctor. Nevermind that... ooh, look... a shiny thing.

[mplsconservative]

I think Mr. Waterloo was a bit...hmmm...jealous maybe?

I love it when trolls out themselves. Makes the world a better place.

[IncPen]

You'd be amazed by the number of guys who take Cialis and Viagra without really needing it. They just want to go for a long time without their body dropping out on them.

I suppose it's a sign of a society with too much money to spend, and not enough time to get it all spent

[CremeSaver]

First, thank your husband for his service.

Second, I am mad as hell that this has made the news. I think everyday in every way the media is proving themselves to be incredibly dangerous to the citizens of this country. From the New York Times to CBS and every other leftist media outlet, they are out destroy individuals and this country. Enough is enough. There is no reason that this "news" should have been made public.

[JCEccles]

This does NOT appear to be a case of unlawful possession or use of a prescription drug. It is, if anything, a violation of prescription labeling laws.

If Rush's attorney has accurately summarized the facts, Rush should be in no danger of prosecution. If Rush was dispensed the drug by a licensed practitioner, and the practitioner (or his assistant) made up the label to show that it was prescribed to the practitioner, then the practitioner might get his hand slapped, but Rush should be in the clear. The question as to Rush is whether he was lawfully in possession of the drug. If it was dispensed to him in the ordinary and proper course of treatment by a licensed practitioner, then he almost certainly was in lawful possession of the drug.

UPDATE: Rush Limbaugh 'had no illegal drugs or prescription drug obtained illegally in his possession' at airport, source says, contrary to a claim by CBS-TV in Miami... MORE...

On Drudge.

[tubebender]

His Doctor probably has a boatload of Viagra samples in his office he could have given RUSH but I guess that would be 50 years to life for carrying them through customs.

[Arizona Carolyn]

If local authorities told customs they had reason to believe he might be carrying drugs on him, customs would detain and search him -- and under the terms of his probation, this prosecutor may do a lot of impromptu searches.

[KoRn]

"Rush should advertise for Pfizer like he did for Snapple...with the proceeds he could buy another plane, or a golf course, or something..."

Very good idea! He's middle aged, and would be a fantastic marketing campaign.

[defconw]

No problem, beautiful bodies come and go a beautiful mind and heart are forever. When I date, sure physical attraction is a thing, but I always say to myself, "will I still want to be with this person when we are 95?", if the answer is no, bye-bye!

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I would be willing to bet Mr. Limbaugh is "getting quite a bit more" than Mr. waterloo!

Au contraire, there are plenty of interested guys in the bathhouse.
