Rush plausible theory of what happened with the pills
me | 10/03/03 | snooker

Posted on 10/03/2003 11:47:50 AM PDT by snooker

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.

You know Chook I was beginning to think you were reasonable. I hope once the warm fuzzies from the pain pills wear off some sanity will return.

Except that Rush's docs explained that Rush's hearing loss was familial and NOT due to drug use, abuse or from his radio job.

They said it is a press conference almost 2 years ago.

You know - I DO remember that being said by his doctors. I'd forgotten about that.

I am a cop, I can tell you that a scroat with a 100 pill a day habit would be barely coherent. There are those that will say that given the temperment of the Limbaugh show, there is already evidence of incoherency. But I digress...

I agree in that he was not doing 100 pills a day nor was he dealing. But I also know addicts very well, and if they have the money, they will always have a stash in case the pipeline dries up. (My ex-mother-in-law always had two months worth of canned goods in the pantry "just in case.") Also, many Vicodin/Oxyi addicts grind the pills and snort the dust to kill the time releasors. The conversion ration is not the same as the pills. In other words, one might use two to three times as much in powder form as in pill form.

It is REAL DAMN EASY TO CLEAR UP. All Rush has to do is tell the truth.

The truth about what?

What has he legally been accused of?

"I'll give you 200 grand to destroy the computer [that contains the evidence]."

According to Mike Walker, he did want to destroy it himself with a sledgehammer. She swapped out the HD and gave him a computer to smash.

I don't have any 'buzz' I don't have any 'warm fuzzies'. For the third time: I JUST FEEL KINDA SLEEPY!

I think I see your problem:

You jump to a conclusion and don't allow any facts, evidence or reason sway you from your hasty conclusion

No I am waiting for the facts. I have not heard them all yet. I am smoking nothing. I am giving him a break for now. I not out for blood like the shark you are.

I'm not out for blood my friend. I hope the allegations aren't true. But my gut tells me there is some truth to them, and if that is the case then people around here need to stop making excuses and stop being enablers and deal with the situation for what it is. As Rush has said (and I'm not quoting verbatim), "Suck it up, stop making excuses, stop hiding behind lawyers, and take responsibility for your actions."

You didn't ask me, but here's what I think of your now famous Post 95: You're assuming that the drug caused his hearing loss. There are other reasons. This one, for example:

Statement on Rush Limbaugh's Hearing Loss

Detroit, October 15, 2001 - Millions of Americans learned recently that radio commentator Rush Limbaugh has lost nearly all his hearing. Now, those millions are beginning to learn why.

A statement issued by his doctors reports that Limbaugh suffers from autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) - one of 80 known autoimmune diseases. These diseases all have one underlying cause - autoimmunity, the process by which the body's immune system turns on itself, attacking health organs, tissues and cells. A syndrome of progressive hearing loss and/or dizziness over a matter of weeks or months, AIED is caused by antibodies or immune cells that attack the inner ear. As with many autoimmune diseases, diagnosis is often difficult, few treatment options are available and there are no known cures, according to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA).

"Since AIED and the other autoimmune diseases all share a common cause -autoimmunity - one clue to finding more effective treatments, better diagnostic tools, and perhaps, even one day a cure lies in researching the diseases collectively," said Dr. Noel Rose, chair of the AARDA's Scientific Advisory Board and professor of Pathology, Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, The Johns Hopkins University. "The thinking is that a treatment or diagnostic tool developed for one disease may prove to be effective in treating one or more other autoimmune disorders."

Currently, the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communications Disorders of the National Institutes of Health is recruiting patients to participate in an AIED clinical research trial to determine whether prednisone, methotrexate and cyclophosphamide are effective treatments for rapidly progressive hearing loss in both ears. Many autoimmune and connective tissue disorders have associations with sensorineural hearing loss or hearing loss caused by faulty sensory nerves. These disorders include Cogan's syndrome, Meniere's disease, Takayasu's arteritis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Behcet's disease and Sjogren's syndrome, among others.

Approximately 50 million Americans suffer from one or more autoimmune diseases. Autoimmune diseases appear to affect more women than men; it is estimated that some 75 percent are women.

American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association is the nation's only organization dedicated to bringing a national focus to autoimmunity as a category of disease and a major women's health issue, and promoting a collaborative research effort in order to find better treatments and a cure for all autoimmune diseases. For more information, please visit AARDA's web site at www.aarda.org or call 1-888-856-9433

FWIW- I agree with you. This is a slime job by the dems. I doubt Rush had anything to do with this except that his maid was in this drug ring.

What, precisely, has he been accused of?

What do I think of post #95?

A reach. A very long reach. In the aforementioned post, what are we talking?.....multi-year "abuse"? What percentage of those who "abused" said narcotics needed cochlear implants? What is the toxicology for said narcotics? Are those with bleeding ulcers aspirin addicts? What produces a rainbow in a cloudless sky? Is Art Bell really an NSA operative? And, what about Mary?

Yeah and one other cause is HEAVY oxycodone/tylenol abuse leading to an auto-immune response, which is quite relavent here. I am sure the doctors would come out and say that drugs caused the auto-immune response without his permission.

We will see
