DOES IT LOOK LIKE SOMEONE IS GUNNING FOR SOMEONE HERE?

This morning we get the word that when Rush Limbaugh landed at Palm Beach International Airport in his private plane yesterday the customs folks decided to go through every bag on the aircraft.

Alas .. they found a bottle of Viagra that didn't have his name on it. Now this is a big news story, and officials are saying that Limbaugh could be charged with a misdemeanor.

OK .. this is a non-narcotic drug. Limbaugh's attorney explains that the bottle carried the doctor's name for privacy reasons. Since authorities in Palm Beach County are so interested in Limbaugh's medications, that's easy to understand.

What isn't easy to understand is why the customs folks decided to target Limbaugh's plane? What's not easy to understand is why they decided to make such a big deal out of a bottle of Viagra. After watching the debacle over Limbaugh's pain-killer addiction, I'm convinced that there are some officials in heavily-Democratic Palm Beach County who have taken it upon themselves to bring Limbaugh down. This incident makes you wonder just how far their reach really is.

Maybe he should move to a solidly conservative part of FL, like Brevard County near Kennedy Space Center. Or the conservative "panhandle."

[dawn53]

He was coming from Dominican Republic

I never thought Rush would go soft on us...
It's a stiff accusation!

hehehe...
not , if they took the bottle. :D

[khnyny]

[I hope he sues.]

I hope he does too. That part of Florida, Palm Beach, Boca Raton, etc. is really enough to make one gag.

[bobjam]

I believe he was coming in from the Carribean

[freedom moose]

A slightly off topic question...sorry
But I've always wondered if Rush's name is Rush. Or is it short for something, Russell? Reginald? variation of Ross? Just curious. I've never heard this English name before.

[taxcontrol]

Ok, I missed that he was returning from abroad. Thanks!

[ops33]

Another article I read stated that Rush's plane was coming in from out of the country.

6 minutes to go.....he'll start off with an eruption, I'll bet....

"Rush" is a common illicit inhalant.

Limbaugh's attorney explains that the bottle carried the doctor's name for privacy reasons.

Wouldn't that be the equivalent of the doctor giving him a physician's sample? Also, aren't doctors permitted to dispense drugs?

It's ok to search his bags as long as the young arabs are not offended.

[MarkeyD]

Returning from a broad? Good thing he had the Viagra.

[MarkT]

Great line - fall down funny.

The Dominican Republic IS a different country.

Mr. Limbaugh, like all of us here, has the rights to his privacy. It should be protected and shouldn't be released by anyone, particularly government officials. This release is absurd, totally unnecessary, and I think, illegal to boot!. US Customs officers are not supposed to release this kind of stuff until or unless criminal activity is being pursued by the local law enforcement authorities. I don't know the laws in Florida for this type of alleged violation, but I think it is a shame he has been embarrassed over a medical condition he might suffer from. He will be the butt of many jokes, and the receiver of a lot of ridicule from mean-spirited press folks, and I think that is a rotten thing to do to someone.

[Xenalyte]

His birth name is Rushton Hudson Limbaugh III.

[Armigerous]

....Russell....he was known as Rusty as a kid

He's named after the 70's glue sniffing substitute? You're putting me on
