According to the Enquirer story, the Clines claim they sold Limbaugh 11,900 tablets over six months in 2001.

That comes to be about 65 pills a day - which would leave him comatose and then probably dead.

Anyone else see a problem with that number?

Dealt with a lot of addicts in my earlier career as a public defender (I no longer practice law).

You would be surprised how one's tolerance builds to these drugs.

It depends on what the drugs are. If it is a pure opiate, like Oxycontin or Dilaudid, then it's certainly possible. If your talking opiates mixed with other analgesics, like Vicodin (Hydrocodone/Tylenol), he would long ago have been dead from Tylenol toxicity.

And 4300 in a 47 day period, that's almost 100 pills a day. It'll come out, what's going on, just have to wait.

11,900 pills....I can just see the cops writing this report down...stopping, and then looking at the couple in disbelief. The numbers just don't jive. Unless you can show Rush was a dealer, which is just about impossible...this is just about impossible to believe. I think the couple have problems with the cops, and are just throwing numbers at the cops.

One stupid note though....Rush should have had the maid interviewed and checked out. I would not have hired a woman married to a former criminal to be my housemaid. On this point, he is very stupid.

Unless Rush was also involved in dealing, but that's doubtful.

Yea based on those numbers I think Rush was probably dealing on the side....making a living is hard now sense Bush took over (Scarcasm for the scarcastically challenged)

Also Im sure the maids at Palm Beach know all about who is in detox and when, and sense she was a dealer herself Rush was sure she would never talk

I don't. Oxy Morons crush and snort the pills to get around the time release effect. That method takes up a lot more pills than conventional means. That plus a little thing called tolerance, which liberals claims conservatives don't have.
