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???
Think of it.......Rush Limbaugh destroys the National Enquirer.........Uses druggy houseworker to expose the liberal media to lawsuit that causes liberal paper to end publication.
Could be....MMMMMMMM.....If so....WAY TO GO RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL!
The number of pills he was alledged to have taken per day, should have rendered him either comatose or dead. Yet he was quick thinking and eloquent enough to speak in front of 20 million listeners for three hours a day. He kept up public appearances, went golfing, drove a car, etc.
How the heck did he pull it off?
sw
That post was sarcasm. Lighten up the truth will come out and you can apologize then!
The doctors ruled that out in his case and flatly stated that that was not the cause.
Once again, you have jumped to a hasty conclusion and are trying to move heaven and earth to support it.
Who shall I believe, Rush's doctors? Or you? Hmmmm?
Once again: Please tell me precisely what Rush is accused of doing.
Was he?
Thanks for saying this. I've been 'scrolling through' and had come to this same conclusion earlier.
Corollary: "My convictions do not [depend on/come from] someone elses".
As Rush has always said, he "is merely echoing the unspoken thoughts of those that listen" to him.
Ask Mikey.
I followed it closely and they never said that Rush's addiction to pain pills was not the cause of his hearing loss. However if you can show me the news article where they say this I would like to read it. I am genuinely surprised tha Rush would allow the doctors to tell the public he was a pillhead!
Direct account at the pharmacy. Hmmmm. Do you think Rush picked up the medications himself? Doubt it. We have a local pharmacy that delivers. Do you think that may be the case here? A doctor would have to call it in, or there would be a sort of standing order. I have to think on this one.
Didn't you learn from your betters to never "assume"?
Tell me what facts--actual facts--you have to support your contention that Rush is addicted to pills.
Not at that time. Marta had fired at that point. That facilitated the sneaking around.
Do you actually believe he 'ate' 4300 some odd painkillers in 47 days? Do you really believe that?
And that is FACT that pertains to LEGAL LIABILITY.
Yes, so why hasn't he been charged?
Tell me: What is Rush actually accused of? Apropos of nothing and everything: A lawyer's best advice to a GUILTY client: SAY NOTHING.
Today, Rush said exactly NOTHING about his alleged illegal drug use.
Draw what conclusions you may.
Apropos of nothing and everything: Rush has always said: "Don't deny something you have not been accused of."
Today, Rush did not deny something he was not accused of.
Draw what conclusions you may.
Only an imbecile would go out in public and deny something they are not accused of.
In that vein: when are you personally going to come out and deny shagging sheep?
What evidence do you have that he is not getting illegal drugs. If this was a Democrat you and I would be on the same side if the Sherrifs department and major news outlets were reporting the same info.
