NY Daily News: Rush Limbaugh in Pill Probe -- Talk radio star had drug habit, maid sez

NY Daily News & Drudge ^ | October 1, 2003 | Tracy Connor

This maid is accusing him of taking what..100 pills a day?

After reading the story again, I couldn't find where she said how many he actually took a day except that she kept a log for a time. She said how many she bought for him in a 47 day period

[hmmmmm]

:), I should have said ugliER. Hopefully we'll have some answers in just a few hours! I've a feeling this story will go the way of all their recent non-stories.

What's a Katie Couric?

[nopardons]

Plkeasant dreams.

[Fracas]

Rush is likely smoking one of his cigars and having an 'adult beverage'. He'll be happy to know you're joining him. I'm having coffee, but it's the thought that counts.

[Swordmaker]

The part in the story about the e-mails makes me wonder. If the story is true, how could Rush be so stupid to leave an evidence trail through e-mail? This could be an indication that his thinking was affected.

One of the nice things about the email non-paper trail is that there are no fingerprints... literally.

What proof does anyone have that Rush sent the alleged emails. They may have been sent from his Macintosh, but what proof is there that someone else, perhaps a household servant, like, possibly a maid, who would have had access to the computer while Rush was on air? If Rush was being set up, this would be the way to do it.

[CyberAnt]

I did too - from the moment I first heard the story.

You do know that Kendall (Hillary lawyer) works for the Enquirer ..?? Is that stinking enough for you.

[Timesink]

What's a Katie Couric?

I believe it's a slang term for "colonoscopy". Or just plain "enema".

[nopardons]

Yes and HELL YES> :-)

[CyberAnt]

So you've convicted him already. Good grief!

[slimer]

I like the way your thinking. You're good!

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm? A 500 mg capsule - is just one capsule. 100 capsules is a whole different ballgame.

[slimer]

A 500 mg capsule - is just one capsule

Thanks for reminding me. It's time to take my meds. ;>)

[CyberAnt]

And Drudge never printed anything he had to take back later ..??

[Robert_Paulson2]

They must of gotten wind that the indictments were on the way.... dammit. Who leaked?

[Fracas]

You know, the Denny's 'racist' allegations struck me the minute I read the article, which, I assume, was the point of selecting that restaurant.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Sorry about that..you're right

But why would he buy that amount in such a short time?

Why from her?

P.S. Are you as cute as Slimer on Ghostbusters?? ;-)

Ms.B

[Joe_October]

It's likely timed to take Rush out before Hillary's announcement.

I think you might have connected a few dots.

It's got to be California. The rats are desperate on California and this is all they have queued up. Anything on Arnold will fall on deaf ears.

[CyberAnt]

So that's your reasoning .. if he's not allowed to talk about it - then it has to be true ..??

That's a bunch of garbage! If there is an on-going investigation - his lawyers may advise him not to talk about the case. But .. that has nothing whatsoever to do with whether or not this allegation is true.

[Sandy]

They might not be illegal but they are controlled.

Doesn't matter. It's really quite easy to get multiple doctors to prescribe pills for you. Besides, even if Rush wanted to take the illegal route to getting his pills, why would he use his maid? It doesn't make any sense. Someone as high-profile as him would pick a source that he could trust. IMHO.
