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.

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...

Miami, FL -- June 26, 2006 -- Roy Black, Rush Limbaugh's attorney, issued the following statement today in response to several inquiries by the media: While going through routine Customs inspection of luggage at Palm Beach International Airport upon his return from an international trip, Rush Limbaugh was detained by customs agents after they noticed a non-narcotic prescription drug, which had been prescribed by Mr. Limbaugh's treating physician but labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes. After a brief interview, Mr. Limbaugh was permitted to continue on his journey. Source: Roy Black

Ah yes, so once again we see that not only did someone in the press evidently fabricate a story about Rush, or at least stretched supposed facts, so many here on FR were willing to believe it at a moments notice.

It never ceases to amaze me how gullible so many people are, and in particular people who actually follow this stuff. You would think that after all the false headlines, the fabricated stories, the outright lies the MSM spews about anyone on the right that we all would know to take anything like this with a grain of salt first and wait for a legitimate source.

But no, that is not the case, not even here on Free Republic. Rush caught with drugs at the airport? And Viagra no less? Oh my GOD!! It's over!! Relapse, stupid, ignorant. Yup, sounds like Rush.

If I did not know better I would guess we had been infested by long term DU trolls.

Relax. Drudge has an up date that says...

It does not matter what Drudge says. The toothpaste is out of the tube. Who wants to bet a fifty that this makes it to the news cycle? Any mention on radio hourly; Sissy; BOR; Savage (that should not really count). Dan Blather may do a 48 hours on AlGore's Channel, where, I understand he has a gig.

If I lose - a fifty to the next freepathon. You lose - You do the fifty. Takers?

I do have legs.

Why was he in the Dominican Republic? Dominicans go to HAITI for a better life.

I think he would have been taken into custody for violating his probation. I am sure he would have been in serious trouble, with a capital T.

Check the DUmpster or Kos, they'll have confirmation, eye-witnesses, on site reporters, you name it.

No, mostly they have venom, wild speculation, outrageous accusations, major flaws in logic, and, most of all, heavy breathing.
Keep both hands on the keyboard, you DUmmies and KOmmies.

8 bucks a pill. For viagra...

When Rush was talking about the prescription drug bill before congress, he said it was $25.00 a pill.
I guess supply and demand worked out.
