Gotta love the priorities.
I'd be ashamed to be connected with the Customs Service in a sting operation like this. Reminds me of the TSA nail clipper copper caper in Cleveland after 911.

Well, if Rush had a bottle of 1000 Viagra, I could see the Customs Service doing a bit of investigating. But if this was the typical #12 tablet prescription, and it was in MY luggage, or say, Senator Kerry's, or Bill Clinton's, or literally any other American, do you think the Customs Service would refer it to a prosecutor? Um, no, I don't think so.
Law Enforcement guys will be the first to tell you that they don't prosecute EVERY violation of the law, and I'll bet you won't find 1 in 1000 would consider prosecuting someone for having viagra on their person. (Compare Rush's treatment with Congressman Kennedy's recent scrape with the law.)
So, what we have is another Demorat in government uniform, using his authority and badge to pursue a private, partisan, political agenda. He knew who Rush is, and he knows the consequences of Rush being accused, let alone convicted of another drug offense. So, he felt he HAD to refer Rush's indiscretion, and probably, put a call into the local news media as well.
