Given the Oxycondin crusade the Palm Beach County district attorney was on, you have to wonder why he stays in Palm Beach. I understand Florida provides a haven for New York residents escaping the high state and local income taxes of the Empire State. Palm Beach and Broward Counties are largely inhabited by former New Yorkers and New Jerseyans who have taken their leftist politics south. However, there are more conservative areas in the state, such as the Panhandle and the southwest, where Rush Limbaugh is less likely to suffer from prosecutors with a anti-conservative grudge.

Notwithstanding his past problems, why did he take the risk of traveling to the Dominican Republic, with its reputation for cheap sex, carrying a bottle of Viagra? He may have not engaged in any sexual misconduct, but the circumstances could lead people to believe that it happened. Granted, a man who has been divorced three times is no exemplar of family values, and Limbaugh never pretended to be one. However, an unmarried man carrying Viagra to a place known for available prostitution looks bad. Limbaugh should have dumped the Viagra, especially if the prescription was not in his name, to avoid hassles at Customs.

Limbaugh has been the pioneer of nationally broadcast conservative radio and he played a major role in the Republican resurgence in the 1990s that led to the GOP capturing the White House in 2000 and holding it in 2004, as well as maintaining control of the House of Representatives for almost 12 years. He blazed the path that Hannity, Savage, O'Reilly, and others have followed. However, his lapses in good judgment and his personal problems are serious enough that he needs to step back for a while. The best thing for him and conservatism in general might be his retirement from talk radio, or at least a sabbatical.

Well, a guy takes Viagra with him on a trip only if he plans on using it. Otherwise, why bother taking it?

I'm not saying that Rush shouldn't be having sex on a trip. That's his business. But others might have a problem with it, based on their religious beliefs.

So, the whole Viagra thing may do Rush some harm with some of his fans, I suppose. What I'd think is that he'd be very careful with prescription drugs all the time, given his past problems with them.

He's a celebrity, but not in the same way movie actors and musicians are. Everyone expects them to have sex with whomever they wish, and at any time. That doesn't hurt their reputation. Rush is in another situation, I think, and such disclosures can't be good for his reputation.

Too bad.

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.
