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.
Maybe Viagra is a clue that he has traded one addiction for another as many addicts are wont to do.
And maybe he is just another old guy trying to have sex.
The CBS4 report is moving across the country right now. The WPTV report is much different.
Wait until the tabloids hit the DR waving fistfuls of cash...
Oh...yes you should...and you did! Thank you.
WABC radio reporting it was not a pain drug nor something that a person would use to get high.
You can tell that Rush strains not to talk about his ex-wife. He's never talked about his previous ex's. It must be difficult, given the extemporaneous nature of his show.
I have a better one but it has a giant "Getty" watermark on it so I can't post it here or Getty will get their panties in a wad.
ABC Radio news just reported that it wasn't a prescription pain killers. It declined to report the viagra.
Oh...now that is disgusting...
Only CLINTON would do that...Rush RESPECTS the fine Cuban cigar....lol
Drudge update: UPDATE: Rush Limbaugh 'had no illegal drugs or prescription drug obtained illegally in his possession,' source says...
That's 250,000 too many, lol. (I was just channel surfing):)
It's probably part of his settlement.
He still mentions the cat. I think he got to keep one of them.
If you do the crime, you better be prepared to do the time. This needs to be fully vented before anyone jumps. G-d Bless Rush for what he has done for our country.
Keep in mind Rush and the customs are saying the perscription was written TO Rush, for Rush with the name he used to identify himself. It is like using a nick name.
(ie John vs Johnathan,Chip vs Richard,John vs Marion)
I remember a case where a woman broke her leg in Mexico and was prescribed a painkiller at a Mexican hospital. Customs arrested an imprisoned her.
