Limbaugh's former maid makes drug accusation


Wilma Cline says she became Rush Limbaugh's drug connection after working as his maid. On her lap is a cigar box she claims she used to carry pills to Limbaugh.

That's good enough for me!

Depends on the type of aerobics you have in mind?? Ehhh?

codiene is one of the most addictive drugs there is. If he got addicted....I hope this is a demonrat set up since Clinton's lawyer works for the Enquirer....but if he got addicted he would do anything for his drug.

Right. I think we need to get tougher on dopers and pushers, not more lax. Even some of the prescription stuff out there needs to be taken off the market. We'll be a better country for it. Great Americans like Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson didn't need dope to get them through the day. What once was a nation of tough guys has turned into a nation of 'fraidy cats and sissies. Still, when a courageous and principled man like El Rushbo contributes so much to the strength and moral fiber of this Christian nation, a different standard needs to be applied. I say cut him some slack. Free Rush! And give him his pills back!

My Grandfather died from cancer back in the forties. The doctor gave him morphine to kill the pain. He didn't get high because the drug was going to his pain. Is this true?

[LittleJoe]

Sometimes a cigar box is just a cigar box.

Yes, and sometimes dumpster diving maids dig them out of the trash!

I open bidding $5.00 for any one of rush's intact used cigar boxes.

Evidence rules would demand. (mandate) the box be in custody. Why the heck would the state allow a witness to hold evidence. Answer: there is no case. This is already falling apart.

[ameribbean expat]

what kind of cigar box is it? anything less than a fuente fuente opus X is a no-go.

[ameribbean expat]

i'm sure she declared that 120 g's on her income tax too...

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

Yeah. Is it a cigar Rush actually smokes?

[Terry Mross]

I'm betting she'll be in "Biggons".

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

My question.. where did SHE get all those illegal drugs..and why isn't she in jail?

[longtermmemmory]

yes, an astute point most people do not realize. A pain killer is to kill the pain and get you to be able to function NORMALLY. Not always true but the general concept.

[ameribbean expat]

looks to me like a Cuban Cohiba box. Indian head in the lower right, Republica de Cuba revenue stamp.

Great Americans like Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson didn't need dope to get them through the day.

How do you know that? Dope was legal in their day.

What once was a nation of tough guys has turned into a nation of 'fraidy cats and sissies.

That's what happens when you allow government to turn you into a child!

[GOPrincess]

LOL.

[machman]

They have HUGE tracts of land down there in Florida.

Yes, HUGE tracts of land.....

[cwb]

Yes. If you have real pain, you will not get buzzed. In fact, I've seen an injured teen given an amount of Morphine that would've killed a non-injured person. The body uses the drug differenly. I'm titrated to a level that reduces my pain and lets me funcion relatively well...but if this amount was used for recreation, that person could go into respiratory failure.

Beshara is an Arabic name, is it not? (Is my recollection correct that it was the name of that Bishop kid who drove the plane into a building in Tampa, before he changed it, and also of his father?)

[Pan_Yans Wife]

From my understanding, it is true.
