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."

Party on Rush!
Well, duh. Probably the same "activities" most guys have in mind most of the time - that's hardly an embarassment.
"no hard feelings .."
You're kidding, right?
after the viagra
Jim Backus? "Oh MaGoo all over Mashoe!"
its a race and i won
Probably following the lead of the NYTimes, which recently printed photos of the driveways of government figures and pointed out where the security cameras were hidden.
Rush is right to trust no one.
At what point does this rise to the level of "intimidation" that abortion doctors face when their names/addresses/pictures are posted on the internet?
except he didn't use them.
An idea: Bob Dole at a airport and his luggage hasn't arrived. Cut to Rush at another airport and customs opening his travel bag finding Bob Dole's Viagra. Rush: "Honest, I don't know how it got there officer!"
his medication preferences
Face it, the DUmocrats can't get over the shame their leader brought to the party by getting a Lewinsky in the oval office instead of focusing on terrorism.
Through their hate and self-loathing, they lash out at the messenger as if that will wash their shame away.
On his first show after this incident, he made the comment that he told his doctor he was worried about the next ELECTION, and somehow ended up with this prescription. BWAHAHA!
The original prescription was for 30.
How does having someone else's name on the bottle somehow protect your privacy? Whether it's found in your luggage, medicine cabinet or pocket, no one will believe it was meant for anyone other than you.
"At what point does this rise to the level of "intimidation" that abortion doctors face when their names/addresses/pictures are posted on the internet?"
Do the internet sites that publish such information try to pass themselves off as unbiased news organizations? Do they have the same 1st ammendment protections as the Slimes?
Now these pictures make sense! :-)
Oops. Thought you were referring to the Slimes publishing addresses and location of security cams at Rummys and Cheneys homes. My bad
It's for when the prescription is filled.
