JULY 6--Rush Limbaugh was traveling with four other men--including the producers of the hit show "24"--when he was detained over a mislabeled bottle of Viagra found in his luggage during a Customs search. A Department of Homeland security passenger manifest shows that Limbaugh and his four buddies flew from the Dominican Republic on a Gulfstream IV jet owned by Premiere Radio Networks, which syndicates his radio program. Limbaugh returned to Palm Beach, Florida on June 26 with Joel Surnow, "24"'s co-creator and executive producer and Howard Gordon, another of the Fox hit's executive producers (Hollywood agent Jeffrey Benson was also part of the Limbaugh quintet). With all those guys in tow, it is unclear what Limbaugh needed with those 29 100mg Viagra pills. The passenger manifest was among several documents released today by the Palm Beach County State's Attorney in response to a TSG open records request. Included in the material released were a copy of the handwritten statement Limbaugh provided investigators after he was detained upon the discovery of the impotency drug. An affidavit sworn three days later by Limbaugh was also released. In that document, Limbaugh explains that the Viagra "was intended for my exclusive use" and that the drug had been prescribed in the name of his drug treatment doctor, Steven Strumwasser, "to further maintain and protect my privacy."

OK, very good. We have almost completely established that you are clueless. We have one more painless short question to go. It would take but a sec.
How often do you listen to Rush?
It could be that Rush uses a Viagra pill to "go" the fifth or sixth time in one night. That's what I do.
A female computer geek (who can shoot) who works at the Counter Terrorism Unit on "24".
It reminds me of a joke that goes something like this...
An elderly gentleman goes to see his doctor and asks for a prescription of viagra. The doctor expresses concern about the mans age and doesn't think it is a good idea. The elderly man then asks what if I only take half? The doctor says I don't think that will be effecitve in allowing you to have an erection for sex. The man said, Sex?... I don't want to have sex, I just want me penis to stick out far enough that I don't pea on my slippers"...
Hope this doesn't get removed... Not to saucy...
Correct, I had no clue as to whether the papers on the smoking gun and Ann the inspector were in violation of anything and that was why I made that conditional statement.
I appreciated that you recognized I didn't know the answer, but you didn't exactly provide one to me either.
Do you know the particulars on this? If so I'd appreciate more knowledge on the topic. :-)
I do feel bad for Rush in this whole deal and it does seem at least unethical.
Then show me where TSG has news and mugshots of Oliver Stone after his drug bust. I didn't say they protect all liberals. I said they have their favorites.
Not trying to start an argument here, but I have never heard that drug use caused rushes hearing problems.
The thing that I have a really big problem with is the double standard of regarding privacy issues with peoples medical records and treatment for similar offenses between conservative and liberal celebrities/politicians... It is pervasive. (and no caps)
24 guys on a custom G4....somehow, I don't think that computes...
I am sure that if Rush went on a Gay Guys' Golf Getaway, the bottle would have been empty upon return to shore. Oy vey, but these Smoking Gun people are stupid with their tabloid headline. "Stag party," how juvenile.
Need a new keyboard!
I have wondered that from the moment that hit the news.
Maybe someday we will find out.
Hmmm...so you signed up today to revive this thread from over a year ago?
“i sent rush an emial suggesting that he show the custom’s agent that there are no hard feelings by sending him/her a box of CUBAN cigars:-) wonder if he’ll find it funny.”
I am sure he will!LOL! Would love to hear Rush say and do that!
Wow, I am real late on this one! Didn’t look at the date. Who would bring this up again? Rush is #1 and always will be! :)
bant
It’s just sex, get over it.
A leftist troll, now gone, would bring it up again.
