If the mark of a person at ease with himself is the ability to have a chuckle at his own expense, then Rush Limbaugh is a supremely serene man. In the wake of the incident in which he was detained at the Palm Beach International Airport when it was discovered he had in his luggage a vial of Viagra with a prescription not in his name, you might have imagined that Rush would have begun today's show with an indignant denial of wrongdoing. He might have explained in tedious detail that in fact the prescription had, with personal privacy in mind, been written in his doctor's name.
But no. Rush opened by poking gentle fun at the situation, and even, in the process, at himself:
"I want to know how Bob Dole's luggage was substituted for mine."
And then: "I had told my doctor that I was concerned about the next election, not, er . . ."
Concluded Rush, undefensively: "It is what it is."
We should all send Rush a pair of baggy pants just for fun.
My nurse is 70 years old.I might call Katherine Harris or Laura Ingraham however.
Call your friends and brag!
Beautiful! A brilliant way to disarm a silly non-situation.
My doctor told me that to cure my impotence problem to eat rye bread. I want 10 loaves of rye bread!
Man behind the counter: It'll get hard before you eat it!
Customer: In that case give me 20 loaves!!!
Rush has a built an audience of 20 million and kept it. The MSM crowd on the other hand sees their pie cut into smaller and smaller slices. A twit like Olberman will undoubtedly delight in ridiculing Rush on his show tonight, but he is on the MSM endangered species list with one pathetic viewer for every 100 Limbaugh listeners.
Practicing?
maybe he's a prepared bachelor eh?
Since when did it become solely a "Married Man's" drug?
He's using it for what married men wish they could use it for.
Enjoy your short stay here at FR!
I'd laugh if he tried to use it and nothing happened because it was the phoney Chinese viagra. Which is made out of sheet rock dust and has made its way into the pharmacy outlets.
Not content to lose even after they chad their chance, Democrats ensure that elections go on for weeks or even months. Personally I find that hard on the circulation.
Contrast that to Patrick Kennedy a few weeks ago....

"I've been racking my brain. I'm trying to figure out how Bob Dole's luggage got onto my airplane."

He got them at the Clinton Library gift shop - they told him they were blue M&Ms...
