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.
The question I have, is if he's having his prescriptions put in somebody else's name for 'Privacy Reasons' then I wonder what else he could be prescribed.
When was the last time your doctor offered to change the name on your prescription, when you need to show ID to even buy over the counter sinus medicine now.
That was my first thought, too.
You don't listen to his show much, do you? Particiularly the third hour
Please elaborate. I catch his show two or three times a week. Other than the signoff, if the third hour is somehow different than the other two, I haven't noticed.
PLus he did tell us he had a mistress in every city.
I either missed that one, or dismissed it as a joke.
I mean this with all sincerity....and I am not being smug... but I simply don't give one rat's turd about the prescriptions of my fellow Americans.... Freedom is always paramount!
Customs should be looking for terrorists & their luggage...not Rush Limbaugh's.....
Physician samples in Texas, do not have your name or prescription on them....
His sense of humor tends to the racy side, especailly after he's gotten all the serious stuff out of the way.
A few weeks ago a caller called in and told him that because he didn't want kids he'd either have to find a woman his own age or be resigned to short term relationships with younger women. He said option 2 was his dream, lol.
I either missed that one, or dismissed it as a joke.
Im sure it was a joke, but good jokes have a ring of truth to them.

Re Ann Coulter's alleded voter fraud problem. Maybe your note to me meant it was not true, but at least the slime are talking about it. Heads up.
Good point, as were the rest of them. Thanks for the reply.
Can't say I was surprised by the revelation. Just disappointed. I guess it's a good thing X42 was married while we were criticizing his Oval Office indiscretions.
It was the perjury, the subourning (sp?) of purjury, and the general making a mockery of the sexual harrassment laws that his party pushed that were the problems with Clinton.
Of course, the underlying charcter issues made him unsuited in my mind to be POTUS, but the voters knew about all that and they didn't have a problem.
What saved Clinton was that the "it's all about sex" mantra stuck. Our side wasn't able to break through with the "it's all about perjruy" slogan.
"Countless people use those pill organizers."
If you use them when clearing customs, be sure to have a prescription in your own name for them with you.
"Customs should be looking for terrorists & their luggage..."
... or private jets owned by people with pending drug charges against them coming from countries listed on the White's House "List of Major Illicit Drug-Producing or Major Drug-Transit Countries " ?

Sex tourism, obviously
But these are being described as bottled prescriptions. The smart thing to do would be to take along those 'sample' packs, as they wouldn't be labeled for anyone.
I am one that still believes in confidentiality and privacy. What in Heaven's name could Rush or you or I be doing to harm society with a handful or even a bottle of unmarked Viagra? Where are our priorities?
The DEA is way too powerful....one day they may even be as powerful as the New York Times...them God help us all!
So whats your point?
FWIW dude, I was recently on a 7 day anti-viral medication (prescription only) that my doctor gave me from his pharmaceutical supply of freebies and nothing on the packet had my name nor did I have a script.. .......call the cops and have me arrested.
Since you are relatively new here, its time to school you. Immediately after the finalization of Rush's divorce from Marta, he announced that the divorce was initiated by himself and that Marta had nothing whatsoever to do with the initiation of the divorce proceedings. He even went so far as to tell us, his audience, that Marta asked him to inform us that she had nothing to do with the break up and to his and her credit, he told us.
Whatever happened between he and "code name jaguar" is their business.
Rush is a stand up guy!
So what is your definition of older and experienced sport?
ILLEGAL UPDATE: Rush "Possession" Limbaugh 'had no illegal possession of illegal drugs or legal prescription drug possessed and obtained illegally in his possession,' illegal source says.
Thanks for setting me straight.
