Limbaugh Detained At Airport Image

Joy Purdy Reporting

(CBS4 News) WEST PALM BEACH Sources have confirmed to CBS4 News that conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been detained at Palm Beach International Airport for the possible possession of illegal prescription drugs Monday evening.

Limbaugh was returning on a flight from the Dominican Republic when officials found the drugs, among them Viagra.

Limbaugh entered a plea deal back in April in a previous case where his charge of fraud to conceal information to obtain prescriptions was dropped under the condition he continue undergoing treatment for addiction.

Limbaugh had admitted to being addicted to pain killers on his radio program and had entered a rehabilitation program prior to that arrest.

Anybody think that this story will push the Bill Keller NYT story off the front page?

Limbaugh agreed to drug testing as part of his plea bargain. I hope this is only about the Viagra.

Since Rush flies in his own plane, this story seems completely bogus.

Have to agree with your last comment that Rush should have kept his mouth shut, but if his doctor wasn't on the trip, I'm not sure what other story you could cook up.

Sorry to say it, but while Roy Black will feel for his client, he also will not mind making the huge $$ and basking in the huge publicity again.

Viagra is a fairly weak drug commonly given for pain.





Yes, I believe that...though I heard it was banned at marathons and swim meets because of that pesky side effect.

""That seems reasonable to me. This is a continuation of a witch hunt.""

Any story involving Rush and prescriptions is not small news. It's going to get some play.

Maybe this is what keeps him on the cutting edge of societal news.

Or, maybe it's not his brain that he has to tie behind his back...

Don't miss this thread. Pegs the ick-o-meter.

Wonder what Rush's spin will be for this one. Mistook viagra for Miracle-gro tablets? Er, um... it was for the cucumbers. Ooops.

There are a lot of drugs that are not illegal. However, the question is whether a Dr. prescribed them for you or not. I carry Synthroid every day with me, but if a Dr. hasn't given you a script for it... it's illegal.

LOL...now, humble, you KNOW you hate ALL talk show hosts...so I am sure this doesn't break your heart...but, as a GUY, don't you somewhat sympathize with his wish to NOT have his Viagra need advertised all over the news??

More importantly, why would he need Viagra? He isn't married



Well he always says he knows such and such like every square inch of his glorious body

From a news article quoted in post 51:

The customs office tells us it's agents stopped Limbaugh as he was returning from the Dominican Republic on a private plane.

I can agree with you on that - but it looks to me like they lept before looking. Not something they would do with just anybody.
