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.

You know he's getting axed right?
If only it were literal.
I had no idea Ali was naughty. What a night! First Rush and Viagra then, Naughty Ali! I need a drink to process all of this!
Viagra May Treat Heart Failure
By Steven Reinberg HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, Oct. 24 (HealthDay News) -- Viagra, famous for improving men's sexual function, also appears to reduce the effects of hormonal stress on the heart by 50 percent, claims a report by researchers at Johns Hopkins University.
Viagra (sildenafil) works by helping genital blood vessels expand to maintain an erection, but more recently, it has also been used as a treatment for pulmonary hypertension. However, the drug has been thought to have no direct effect on the heart.
"Unlike what was previously thought, drugs like Viagra can in fact alter heart function," said lead researcher Dr. David Kass, a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins. "It alters it particularly when the heart is stimulated by hormones."
The report appears in the Oct. 24 online edition of Circulation.

Is it illegal to carry prescription drugs for another person? Couldn't Rush just have said he was bringing the pills to his physician friend?
I got reprimanded yeaterday because of Hipaa! I mentioned to a caseworker that I was pleased with Donna's (A developmentally disabled woman) progress.
Because we were in a public park it was a hipaa violation, even though no one else was in this park.
Read the other reply, more detailed then mine. Viagra was orignally a heart drug, per the creator.

It's been my opinion for some time that the election troubles of 2000 and 2004 were not for Gore or Kerry's benefit, but to immunize the left when they actually steal one for Hillary.
They'll say, "But you didn't care when Bush stole it!!"
The difference, of course, will be that Hillary actually does steal it.
Mark my words...
Anyone trained in the treatment or care of injured or ill persons. The information came from the sheriffs office and most law enforcement officials are trained emergency care providers and are subject to HIPAA rules. Even people who take basic first aid and CPR are obligated under the rules if they learn private information of a person that they were treating that wasn't already public.

It just so happened that Viagra was originally used in England to improve heart functions in patients who had severe heart disease and chronic chest pain, and it didn't work. But many of these patients, who were also impotent, were awakening in the morning with erections when they had been impotent One of the researchers at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals in England realized this and thought maybe it would work for impotence. That's how Viagra became a drug for impotence.

"Viagra wouldn't help the pain in his low back."
Funny.
But it would compensate for compromised innervation through compressed spinal cord and/or nerve roots
Can't wait to listen to the show tomorrow.
Rush eats this up, he kicks liberal ass so bad that you all froth. Deal with it, he's here and never claimed to be a saint, never preached against premarital sex. Now, go listen to Al Franken, :-)
Thanks for the info AB.
