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.
The guy's been divorced three times, no one is going to confuse him for their personal moral barometer.
"Limbaugh's bad judgment in his personal affairs may well impair his ability to champion conservatism.
"
Rush has lost a lot of his influence over the years. He still has an audience, but I don't think it's a very influential audience any more.
He has marginalized himself, I believe.
This story is such a ridiculous, blatant attempt to trash Rush, it makes me sick to my stomach. Who cares if he uses viagra?! It's not illegal. Did they tell us if there were any underaged girls on the plane who were using birth control pills? How about checking to see who wears thongs and who wears bikini underwear, and then reporting that information nationwide?! Invasion of privacy? Yes! Isn't it interesting that no one else had the contents of their bags broadcast to the world. I hope Rush sues.
"Rush boffing prostitutes in the Dominican Republic; or prostitutes ANYWHERE?
I don't think so!
"
I have no idea, frankly, what Rush's morals are, nor do I care. I'm just pointing something out. Fornication doesn't just have to do with prostitutes. Again, I don't really care who Rush has sex with, unless it's someone underage.
Others may care, however.
Limbaugh's errors are serious only if he fans are offended. That's it. And I doubt they seriously are.
I don't. Taint' none of my bidness, and I hope he gets what all he wants to get. Wish I was that lucky-if you know what I mean! :0 )
Fornication is probably THE most popular activity among young people (18 to 35). When I was a single man, I was always quite eager to fornicate. But boy, I tell you what, fornication is the real "gateway drug". In so many cases the behavior slides down that slippery slope and leads to marriage. You would think Rush would know better, since he has already slid down the marriage slope 3 times. I would hate to see him have a marriage relapse.
Your words, not mine. However, public perception is important in terms of the credibility of a person who is a high visibility celebrity. This is especially true for someone like Limbaugh, who is a lightning rod for left wing criticism and, in the case of the Palm Beach County DA, was and is the victim of a political witch hunt. The MSM reflexively hates him as much as we despise Hillary and Bill Clinton.
If you make a living in part by pointing out liberal hypocrisy and wrongdoing, it is well to remember the adage about people living in glass houses. Limbaugh should have exercised better judgment.
"In so many cases the behavior slides down that slippery slope and leads to marriage. "
Indeed.

Honestly, I can think of no other reason that this happened.

I thought it was Bill Clinton who, er, had a starboard camber...
It is a viscious circle, no doubt about it! :)

"I heard on XM this very morning that you can order any male enhancement drug from Canada for 6.00 a pill. No Dr. prescription needed.??????
"
That may well be, but it would be illegal to mail them to customers in the United States, I believe. That doesn't mean it isn't happening, but it would be illegal.
You needn't do that, really, since there are drug sites where a doctor will write a prescription based on your answers to a short questionaire.
Me, I'm not going to use such sites. It seems risky to me, since there are conterfeit drugs out there.
I second that nomination... maybe we could get him on the ticket. :)
I'm single (divorced) and travel every other month or so. I keep a toilet kit with spare razor, toothbrush, comb, etc ready to go.
I also keep a few condoms tucked in it. Do I plan to get laid on every trip? No.
I have little doubt that with Rush's travel schedule that he has similar arrangements, besides, wasn't he in DC before heading to DR? Perhaps he had a liason with a DC honey?
Regardless, it's none of our business and it's a sin, and probably a crime, that the officials at the Palm Beach Airport decided to leak all of this.
Now if Rush had gone on vacation with Ann Coulter that would have been a real story. Nothing to see here move on folks. Remember the Left pandering to Drug Addicted Actors Robert Downey Jr. And wanted all kinds of forgiveness. The fiasco with Patrick Kennedy and he had Viagra. This is meant to make the Political Personal. That Rush made a joke out of it. Tells you Boat loads about Rush as a person.
The liberal media and their friends in Federal, state, and local governments have Limbaugh in their sights. He would do well to remember that at all times.
