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."

They'll never work in that town again.
Yeah, right.
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.
lol... I think the smokinggun.com is trying to get mentioned on the most popular radio show on the dial.
The Fairness Doctrine crowd strikes back.
I don't understand the point of this article. That Rush took a trip with some friends? Big deal. BTW, I bet sales of Viagra have skyrocketed since this incident - Rush should get a comission for his inadvertent advertising.
Did we ever find out who was at Greg Norman's house when Clinton had his little mishap?
I hate that they're always after Rush - but you're right - it was cool that he's traveling with the 24 guys...
29 were left, how many were there to start with?...........Enquiring minds want to know...........
(The Palestinian terrorist regime is the crisis and Israel's fist is the answer.)
So Chloe didn't go along?
Rush has already mentioned the other ailment he was using the pills for (something intestinal or something).
L-Dopa will give you a raging hard on too (Jim Bakus wrote of this) but it is used to treat Parkinson's Disease.
Wasn't there some heart medication that was remarketed for erectile disfunction?
30
he said 30 on his show yesterday.

Jim Backus? "Oh MaGoo you've done it again!"
