A lot of this drugs and Rush stuff isn't adding up for me. So let me try out a theory here.
Read this on http://www.thesmokinggun.com/doc_o_day/doc_o_day.html
If true it gives insight to the behind the scenes goings on.
Note that the two were running a Palm Beach-area pharmacy.
Now, what if Rush were a legitimate customer of the pharmacy these two owned. Just happened this way. With me so far?
So the maid may have been picking up Rush's legitimate prescriptions all along. So if anyone asked, she just says these are for Rush. Cool cover story for the maid/pusher who might get caught with the drugs eh?
OK lets say these two pharmacy owners were doing what is alleged on the smoking gun site, selling these pills on the black market. Well how do they cover their tracks at audit time? Simple. Rush is a customer. So they simply credit the excess purchases to his account. Why Rush's account? They assume that if anyone wants Rush's medical records he will resist with legal means. Might be why Rush is accused of buying enough of these pills to kill a horse ... hmmmm.
Neat scam we have here. All is fine until the cops start moving in. Then trouble. The maid might have been a pusher who was taking the excess "Rush pills" and selling them, not to Rush but anyone who wanted them. So Rush was part of the cover story for the dealers/pushers.
Now add this tidbit ... I remember Rush on-air several times saying he does not bill his insurance company for drug expenses, he just pays cash for them. He admitted to not keeping records of his drug purchases nor did he total it up for taxes at year end. So Rush was an accidental sitting duck for the scam.
So now Rush goes on the air. Says he doesn't know what is going on. Assume what Rush says is true for the moment and all else begins to make sense.
Curious don't you think.
comments???
What facts do you have to back that up?
It has happened to many a good man
I've been taking Vicodin since Sunday for an extraordinarily painful injury--2 every 4 hours washed down with 2 (count 'em '2') beers... I don't like 'em--they just make me sleepy.
and when you have his means....
Oh ho! The green-eyed dragon of jealousy! That's what's driving most of this... What do you have to
They seem to be investigating the "housekeeper". If you lose, will you waltz bare-a$$ed down Broadway with a "Rush is Right" sign?
Better yet, through Greenwich Village without an escort?
Mike Walker of the NE said that Rush was scared to death of Marta finding out. That's why he did the drug buys at Denny's or gas stations.
Sounds like you are getting a good buzz on.
Oh ho! The green-eyed dragon of jealousy! That's what's driving most of this...
Yeah right, pointing out that he has the means to support a massive drug habit is jealousy. What do you think of post 95?
Hell I would do that now minus the bare ass
Big, Gigantic, Godzilla sized DITTOS!!!!!
So many here have already convicted Rush because he did not come out today and say everything is a lie. In other words, because Rush is not working on their time schedule, he must be guilty! What simplistic, feeble minds.
The truth will come out and if everyone here has learned something in the past few years (or they should have) the truth many times is stranger than fiction and many times the truth is most unexpected.
Let's wait and see what happens.
Conservatives have had a few very dark months. Somewhere is the bottom of this historic swing, maybe we are in it right now, maybe it is coming in a few months. But one thing we must remember:
Things take time!!
Everyone, EVERYONE underestimated the libs yet again. Let us hope conservatives, especially the leadership has FINALLY learned you cannot be friends with these humans.
Pictures will be posted on FR.....with strategic blackouts, of course!
Facts as we know them:
1) Rush has had hearing loss and surgery--it is reasonable to assume he was on strong pain meds after that.
2) The Pharmacy in his area is being investigated for blackmarketing pain pills.
3)The maid claims he 'bought 4600 pills in 47 days'.
4) The maids husband was busted for 'Identity Theft'.
5) Rush brags that he pays cash for all his medical needs.
6) There is an investigation, yet Rush has not yet been charged with anything.
Based on that, which of the two is more reasonable:
1) El Rushbo took 90 pills a day and remained a successful talk show host.
or
2) This maid was in on the scam and using Rush's identity and cash-based pharmacy account to obtain and sell pills above and beyond what Rush was legally getting?
Huh?
But you wouldn't be able to see my best feature - my knees!
The strategic blackouts would be over your mug, you loon!
No. As I said: I just feel kinda sleepy. Do you intentionally disregard what people say?
Yeah right, pointing out that he has the means to support a massive drug habit is jealousy.
In lieu of any info to back up that assertion, it is.
What do you think of post 95?
Interesting, but coincidental. 'A red herring' as the old Private Dic's would say.
You wouldn't make a very good detective.
Jumping to an emotional conclusion and then looking for supporting evidence is not good analysis.
Rush alledgedly offered the maid money to "destroy" her computer. Wouldn't he have just offered to "buy" it? I mean, imagine you are craftily trying to hide a crime and to do it in a non-incriminating way...Why would you say, "I'll give you 200 grand to destroy the computer [that contains the evidence]." If you are so craty that you make sure the drugs are handed off in a cigar box by someone else, and not you (which is alleged) why would you offer to pay to "destroy" evidence? Any quick thinker wanting to Clintonize the evidence destruction wouldn't offer to pay to commit a crime with the evidence---he'd offer to buy the computer, then he could take care of the computer HIMSELF without having brought another person into the destruction of evidence.
