Rush plausible theory of what happened with the pills

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.

wow...good find! In situations like this, they are going after the people illegally selling the drugs. For whatever its worth, Rush may have thought he was buying the drugs legally. The people here in question are the ones who are the criminals.

Not a bad theory at all. Kudos.

[Fitzcarraldo]

Rush is not stupid and has successfully managed two major health problems. IMHO this is a frame up.

[Eala]

Interesting! Thanks for posting this...

[mict42]

Your theory is just the kind of scenereo that I'm hoping for. How could Rush, one half his brain tied behind his back, function on the radio with a 100 pill per day habit. Totally impossible. Hang in there Rush.

Meanwhile, the left has their mud flinging fest, hoping something sticks? Works for me.

This could be a classic case of Identity fraud as the RX would have all his information.

[Dixielander]

Very interesting theory! Its entirely possible and even plausible that Rush was set up.

[Gordian Blade]

As good a theory as any, but I'll wait for the facts.

I know from personal experience how easy it is to be innocently caught up in someone else's prescription drug scheme. My wife is a physician. Several years ago, a woman who was a nurse in the hospital ER where my wife worked stole a bunch of blank prescription forms from her. Months later, the authorities called my wife to ask her why she was writing narcotics prescriptions in big amounts all over town. Fortunately, the truth came out pretty quickly.

Since the nurse is the sister of our local Congressman, the Democrat machine fixed it so that she got only a slap on the wrist. She still has her job at the same hospital. Yes, I'll name names: Mary McNulty and Congressman Michael McNulty.

The sooner you get thru denial the better.

" that Rush was set up. "

I don't think setup is the right phrase. Used as a cover story would be closer. I doubt they wanted to get Rush, just sell black market pills.

[myself6]

Very plausable. Just as plausable as the other story I think.

Lets just take this as an object lesson to STFU until we know what is going on.

[aculeus]

Could be. If so, Rush can put the Enquirer out of business.

[GeoPie]

Only problem is Rush said himself today that in the end he will tell us everything....maybe more than we want to know.

I gut tells me that the truth lies BEYWEEN there is his being an addict and your theory of them using his account for other purposes.

[GeoPie]

Sorry, I meant my gut tells me the truth lies between his innocence and being set up.
