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."
Rush now needs to take advantage of this and become a spokesman for Viagra. Make more money and become even RICHER!
Yeah, you like him alright. Then turn around and call him pathetic. You were spewing anti-Rush stuff last night.
Based on the posts I've read I don't like you and I think you're a lying sack of crap. At least I'm honest.
Why not diddy on back over to DU where you belong.
The incident was made public precisely to generate the reaction you had. It's the tactic of the left, no matter how or what they have to do or say to destroy somebody they hate.
Regardless, we can't condone fornication, even if Rush is "one of ours."
Anyway, this is in keeping with his past behavior. His lack of contrition is telling.
Ashamed of restoring the natural functioning of his body?
Your opinion on this subject seems to have "evolved" since it last came up.
