WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Rush Limbaugh was detained for more than three hours Monday at Palm Beach International Airport after authorities said they found a bottle of Viagra in his possession without a prescription.

Oh, man - this is some funny stuff. I wonder if this will affect his plea agreement with the State Attorney on his doctor-shopping charges?

A doctor had prescribed the drug, but it was "labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes," Roy Black, Limbaugh's attorney, said in a statement.

ROFLMAO. Paranoid that someone would discover you're taking Viagra? Now it's all over the national news because you decided once again that you were "above the law."

How's that "privacy" thing workin' out for ya now, Rush?

Isn't it the doctrine of most conservatives that people who don't break the law shouldn't have any concerns with privacy matters?

If it wasn't Rush we would never know. Why didn't he use the pills on his trip. Not even his money could get him laid???
And why in hell does he feel the need to bring the pills back with him?? He thinks he can break the law just like Geaorge and get away with it.

Hello???

More evidence of bigger, longer, uncut, more intrusive government into peoples' private lives. Whatever substances a person wishes to ingest should be their business. Rush knows the risks from taking viagra. If he gets a 4 hour erection, or suffers a heart attack, that's his business. Leave the Feds out of all this stuff.

Regarding drug policy, imho the best course is a credible public education as opposed to scare campaign that kids can relate to, extensive treatment programs and a "you know the risks, so if you get messed up its your laugh" attitude. Take law enforcement out of the user-end area to concentrate their efforts at the supply end, decriminalizing simple possession.

The beneficiaries of the illegal status of certain high demand "recreational drugs" (and the subsequent "war on drugs") are prison corporations, the banking industry, organized crime cartels and street thugs. its hardly a wonder that certain drugs remain illegal. It's got nothing to do with public health or "protecting America's young". Just follow the money, business as usual.

Then again, until we do end these ridiculous invasions of privacy, I'm not above savoring the embarrassment of a bloviating hypocrite who supports this kind of thing for everyone else, a man who feeds off spouting "values" he clearly doesn't adhere to himself, getting a taste of his own medicine -- so to speak. :D

This is not about drugs. This is about importing goods into the US without proper documentation. It has nothing to do with privacy either. Rush is a seriously disturbed whacko. He deserves to be cought for smuggling. I revise my opinion of homeland security. They did their job. That it was Viagra is just beautifully sweet icing on the cake.:lol:

He gets busted for funny business with prescription drugs, makes an agreement to not get in trouble again for 18 months, and then... gets busted for funny business with prescription drugs again. That's not addiction, that's just stupidity.

Not sure what "class" of drug Viagra is, but here's an interesting article I found. Maybe Rush's problem is that he didn't "delclare" to Customs. The link is talking about "controlled" substances.

http://seniorhealth.about.com/cs/prescriptiondrugs/a/mexico_rx.htm

A 1998 amendment allows a United States resident to import up to 50 dosage units of a controlled medication without a valid prescription at an international land border. These medications must be declared upon arrival, be for your own personal use and in their original container. However, travelers should be aware that drug products which are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration may not be acceptable for such importation.

It is against the law not to properly declare imported medications to U.S. Customs. lt is important to have medications in the originally-dispensed container;

From an Orlando Sentinel article: (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/state/sfl-prush27jun27,0,7843810.story?coll=orl-home-headlines)

Limbaugh joked about the search on his radio show Tuesday, saying Customs officials didn't believe him when he said he got the pills from the library of former President Bill Clinton, and that he was told the tablets were blue M&Ms. He later added, chuckling: "I had a great time in the Dominican Republic. Wish I could tell you about it."


Ha ha! From Clinton! Who is such a sleazy randy old goat that he would...., um, have the very same...... well, anyway, fucking whores in the Dominican is a blast, fellow moralists, wish I could go into details about how sexual tourism in impoverished countries makes for some very interesting times! Poverty is quite the aphrodisiac!

At the very least this may mean trouble for Rush's plea deal on doctor shopping, which stipulates regular urine tests. Can't do thorough testing if you don't know what the subject is taking, can't know what the subject is taking if he evades reporting requirements.

Rush imported a prescription medication not prescribed to him. He did not declare it. Period. It is illegal. There is no "loophole" for privacy.

I've listended to Rush on ocassion and I've never found him to spew hate. He does roast dems, and in a hilarious manner. It's entertainment and not much more.

Secondly, it's amazing that liberals can go on and on about drug addiction being a disease worthy of treatment, or that the government has no place telling you what to ingest, or an number of arguments...and then turn around and villfiy limbaugh for getting addicted to pain killers that he started for a legimate problem.

I rarely agree with your postings, but that is an excellent point. I hope he gets the help he needs. Much like any codled rich and famous actor/athlete/pundit/whatever, being insolated from real-world consequences (and often real-world help too I think) can let things rapidly spiral out of control.

Wow, way to totally miss the point! I can't decide if this is deliberate evasion, or if you have a natural talent for amazingly biased, self-justifying thinking.

Let's go through this slowly:

Person A has an understanding or accepting attitude towards X.
Person R vilifies X, says people who do X are ruining this country, should be thrown in jail, etc.
Person R is caught doing X.
Person A now sees R as a hypocrite -- a justifiable use of the word "hypocrite" if ever there was one.
Person A's understanding or accepting attitude towards X doesn't automatically translate into forgiveness of R's own hypocrisy.

Now please, explain where in this scenario A becomes a hypocrite the way R does. A criticizing R for X is not a sudden hypocritical denouncement of X itself -- although pretending to miss that distinction, or being dull enough not to comprehend that distinction, does make for a great rhetorical opportunity to foam at the mouth with indignation. A is critical of R's hypocrisy which is made evident by R doing X.

Edit: I forgot...speaking of hypocrisy, why do you condone the government trying the sieze Limbaugh's medical records for this case? I thought you care about privacy?

Point, SDW. SDW, point. Don't believe you've met.

1. Part of Limbaugh's schtick is the usual winger contempt for weak people with low morals, poor impulse control and a penchant for lawbreaking, AKA wards of the welfare state, AKA the Democratic party's base. Some variant on the notion that drug addled criminal types aided and abetted by liberals comprise a big chunk of "the problem" is practically the founding meme of right wing invective.

It is inevitable, don't you think therefore, that when a man of such strident capacity to distinguish right from wrong, such eager willingness to heap approbation on and encourage the harshest measures for those who don't measure up to his standards himself falls prey to the trap of addiction, there would be a certain amount of, well, gloating, among those who find his demagoguery repellant?

"Started for legitimate reasons" doesn't have fuck all to do with it; there are lots and lots of people serving draconian sentences in prison, with Rush's hardy approval, who started down their path trying to self-medicate. Difference? No access to high-priced doctors, and when they got caught, no access to high-powered legal team.

So, either Rush is a dangerous, hypocritical blow-hard, advocating completely indefensible social policy out of a completely unearned sense of superiority, meaning policies should be changed, amnesty granted for millions, and Rush should apologize for being so wrong for so long, or we take him at his word and he should get exactly the same treatment he has advocated for so many: lock him up and throw away the key.

No hypocrisy there-- I advocate a complete end to the so called "war on drugs" while recognizing that applying the current system of determinate sentencing and guaranteed prison time plea bargaining to affluent white people would make that happen very quickly.

2. The current issue isn't about "drugs" so much as is about "the law", as in who has to be completely in compliance with the terms of probation and who doesn't. You think some recently paroled black drug offender gets to joke on the radio about how he blew off the terms of his probation while his lawyers make the trouble go away?

In a way the same issue as #1-- Rush and his fans live in a world where "people like him" ought to get second chances and the full protection of all the justice money can buy, while "those people" need to be dealt with in the harshest way possible.

So when we mock Rush we're thinking about the mockery of justice that he represents, and his almost overwhelming hypocrisy.

Of course, you would find that in itself to be "hypocritical", because in the debased rhetoric of the endless defense of thugs and criminals "justice" is merely some stupid liberal talking point that means nothing.

What Shetline said. You totally missed the point.

You know I'm usually pretty liberal. But it's just so transparent that you're hating on the guy because he's, uh, a despicable conservative asshole. Wait.

Please see my first post in this thread. And then ask me about my favorite Rush callers. I used to listen to him every day, and I think he can be awfully, awfully funny.

I repeat, again, that the only reason conservatives care about this is that he's Rush. If this were Al Franken, we'd be having the same conversation, except conservatives would be calling for his head and I'd be saying that Franken deservedly got into trouble but that, in the end, it's a non-issue.

Um, yeah... there really is no defending Rush here without looking like a fool.

If Rush walked his talk he would would have served time and would have no business posessing Viagra because he believes sex out of wedlock is a sin.

He deserves scorn for being a hypocrite, not because he's a limp drug addict.

Rush Limp Ouch was there:
link for adults only! (http://www.4womenoftheworld.com/nats/dominican.php?nats=MzE6Mzox&tour=dominican)

This place has a lot of sex tourism. They are known for underaged prostitutes. This is being advertised everywhere.
A man of his exposure should know better.

Rush next time go to St. Kitts.

Doesn't the Dominican Republic also have many lovely old churches and fascinating historical sites to visit? That's a "guy thing" to do, isn't it?

Okay, I can't explain how the Viagra fits in... give me time. Tryin' to think Right Wing is hard work! :)

The guy single handedly dumbed down the Republican party by a good 20 IQ points. As a republican it really annoys me and frankly it's small justice for him to be exposed for what he is.

A pox on all talk show hosts and political pundits.

Yes, yes...I'm so excited that my hero Rush is free at last...free at last...FREE AT LAST!

I was actually just going by what I read...which was that his actions were not illegal under FL law as long as his doctor was in on the "privacy prescription" arrangement.
