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.
LOL !!!
piss poor photoshop, baby.
They will "plant" the "evidence", too.
I know you don't like talk show hosts...therefore don't listen...but, if you REALLY listen to Rush, he is not being nearly as arrogant as most of them..
It is all an act...it is a self-deprecating style..and I get it.
IF he was as arrogant as he "pretends" to be...I would be OUT...That is one reason that I don't listen to Sean Hannity anymore.
"He said the prescription was his, but in another name for privacy reasons."
He's in trouble.
I pick them up for my wife and mother-in-law.
Intriguing ... I though he had a private plane ....
Nope, I believe he uses one of the many "time-share" programs for airplanes.
But in any case, you still have to report through customs.
Yep. It is not my fondest wish to encounter a Viagra-fueled Rush on a clothing optional beach.
See I was right...:-)
Oh come on, Sleuth....that was damn funny!
ROFLMAO!
That is a doctored picture.
Actually possession of prescription medication ("drugs") which are not prescribed to the possessor is technically a drug violation. Rush says his doctor had the drugs placed in the doctor's name for privacy reasons.[You know any pharmacy Rush filled a vaigra prescription would be on the horn to the National Enquirer or Howard Dean]. Hope that Doctor then handed the drugs to Rush. If that is what happened, then the Doctor "prescribed" the drugs to Rush just like Doctors used to dispense us drugs in little envelopes.
Customs guys go ape when they find pills and they are in little bottles that do not match the occupants of the aircraft. Too early to assume anyone set him up, but it is always stupid to talk to cops without your lawyer. It is doubly stupid to get caught in the county where the Prosecutor hates you. (ala Michael Jackson in California).
Drudge:
UPDATE: Rush Limbaugh 'had no illegal drugs or prescription drug obtained illegally in his possession,' source says, contrary to a claim by CBS-TV in Miami... MORE..
you think?
Puts "Rush" in a completely different context, eh?
It's almost as if someone was just waiting for this to happen. I can't help it; I'm upset. I love Rush Limbaugh like a brother.
