I saw no proof there that Limbaugh had used drugs.
I heard 3rd person allegations of things some other suspects said they had.
Show me what these accusers have. Let me decide.
Until then, there's simply no evidence.
One, she claims she wore a wire on her last two deliveries to Rush and has handed over these tapes to authorities.
Two, she claims that she first started delivering pills to Rush in 1998. The initial press release on Rush's hearing problem,
http://www.hei.org/news/factshts/rlprconf.htm announced that "he has suffered rapidly progressive hearing loss since May 2001, which we are currently treating with medication at the House Ear Clinic.". The question was also raised at this press conference at the time if Rush's hearing problems could be attributed to drug use. The reply was "Several reporters mentioned other causes of hearing loss, such as overuse of medications or over-exposure to high levels of sound through earphones used during radio broadcasts, and asked if any of these had caused Rush Limbaugh’s hearing loss. His physicians explained that overuse of medications is not a factor in Mr. Limbaugh’s case, and while noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is common among professionals in radio broadcasting, Mr. Limbaugh does not demonstrate the symptoms of NIHL."
If the allegations are at all true, then 1998 would seem to be well before he experienced any issues with his hearing, or any pain associated with the ear implant. Also, it would possibly bring to question whether his hearing problems were related to the use of this class of painkillers.
Three, his housekeeper also reported a $200,000 payoff, $80,000 for money Rush allegedly owed her after she left her job in 2001, plus an extra $120,000. It will remain to be seen if the money can be traced.
Sorry for being so long-winded, but finally, four, I am a little curious as to why Rush has not filed a libel suit against the Enquirer.
