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.
Rush, Is his real name...Its' a family tradition...He has said.
...it seems to be named after his late (who lived to >100 years :) Grandfather.
.....oops...sorry zenolyte...my bad
Rush: "I'm still trying to figure out how Bob Dole's luggage got on my airplane." ;o)
Rush: "I told my doctor I was worried about the next election not. . ."
What's "redneck riviera ". Branson, Mo, maybe?
Thanks
He was going to have the tabs converted to liquid form so he could pour himself a stiff one.
Named after his grandfather.
Florida panhandle.
susie
BTTT
Rush is actually Rush III. His father and grandfather were also named Rush. Probably an old family surname.
Hmmmmmm, and then we find he has DRUGS (which turn out to be Viagra) and the news is broadcast across the land.
Nah, no agenda by the media whatsoever.
Liberals have controlled the IRS for years,The INS the CIA , The State deopartment and now we find they have control of customs.
It doesnt matter who is President. The liberals are in charge.
LOL, first commercial break on Rush 24/7, they run the "Elite Federal Bagage Screeners" ad......... LOL
"Hmmmmmm, and then we find he has DRUGS (which turn out to be Viagra) and the news is broadcast across the land"
Hmmmm, and Patches Kennedy gets whisked off privately by the authorities after driving/crashing under the influence and not administered a breath test but goes scot free.
Liberal Hypocrites.....
Samples don't usually have any prescribing label put on them. I assume this was done so that the prescription could be filled at a pharmacy without the risk of irresponsible clerks seeing a Viagra prescription for Rush Limbaugh and blabbing about it. Whole lot of good that precaution did, now that Customs is blabbing about it.
Shouldn't Customs have a duty to keep its mouth shut about something like this until it has completed an investigation (which would no doubt who that the Viagra was indeed prescribed from Rush)? And for that matter, shouldn't our Customs agents have more pressing matters to attend to than investigating whether personal-use quantities of Viagra that they discover in luggage were obtained via legitimate prescription? And what business does our government have requiring a prescription for any non-narcotic drug in the first place?
We had a chance with GW to change this but he wimped out again. Now these opponents have made his presidency a hard ride & he has to live with it However, if I had been elected there would have been a purge like you've never seen.
Digger for Pres in 08.
This is all about sex, move on.
