Rush Limbaugh is a big fat... viagra user?

Or, RUSH LIMBAUGH, WHO HAS A HISTORY OF DRUG CRIMES, HAS A DRUG UNDER ANOTHER MAN'S PERSCRIPTION. THIS MAY BE A CRIME
Actually, no. Viagra is not a controlled substance, so having it under another person's name is not illegal in the state of Florida.

Better luck next time.
 
I will end this debate, now, for all rational individuals.


1) The prescription was in his Doctor's name.
2) It was a month's old, 30 pill prescription, with one pill missing.
3) Mr. Limbaugh claims that they were in the bag since he got them and forgot about it.
4) Mr. Limbaugh's bags were the only one's searched that day, at that airport. I.E. He was targetted.


Of course, the simple fact that his opponents cannot attack his point of view, but can only attack his appearence or alleged medical issues kind of invalidates my percieved worth of any such opinions.

Just curious, but could they have been searched as part of his plea bargin?

/shrug

You're right though, there's not much to the whole thing. To me it was always mostly funny about the juxtaposition of the people and events, and I found the tie-in to his recent... um... "exploits" isn't the right word... "troubles" amusing given his status as a pedant of morality.

i presume hes the right's hero and the lefts target due to comments on here?

He's a radio personality who rose to prominence in the mid 80s. While he didn't invent talk radio or even conservative talk radio, he completely elevated it and became one of the top 2 or 3 radio personalities of the last 20 years.

He lambasts his targets and frames his show in extremely favorable terms. In that, I've never heard him have a guest w/ whom he disagrees. Granted, I've not listened to him in a few years, so I could be wrong about this.

He's a pop culture icon as well. He's certainly become a fixture of leftwing ire, to say the least. He's also coined some terms that have become part of the lexicon to a degree, "********" comes to mind. :)

From an objective standpoint, I can truly say he's excellent at what he does.

Now, since he criticizes so much that he sees as wrong in this country that he's put himself on a pedestal, so when he has personal issues (most notably 3 divorces and a drug plea bargin for what could be considered trafficking in narcotics*) he is rightly criticized.

A flight coming from Dominican Republic and he was the only one searched: impossible. Miami is a well-known transit spot for drugs and the Dominican Republic is one of the main cocaine exporter in the northern hemisphere. I'm curious to hear where you heard that.

He used his own private jet?
 
I laugh at how you liberals sit here making fun of Rush for being fat, yet your #1 idol is Michael Moore. Irony at its finest.

Oh and ...

Geeez, such a small issue.

Some people can't help but mimic Ann Coulter or Randi Rhodes.

Instead of yet another blanket stereotype, why don't you actually specify whom you're replying to.

Two things:

I'm from Québec, not France.

And I'm not taking a shot at your beloved radio host, I'm asking John where he heard that no one on a flight from the DOminican Republic was searched beside this one guy. This is an interest of me because of my work. Please don't quote me if you don't understand what's being said or who's saying it.

Pay him no mind. Everyone's a liberal who takes all their pre-progammed commands via hidden microwaves from Michael Moore.

Also, what you said there made me think of one of my favorite songs by the Surf Punks in which they say "are you from France, no? why no underpants?"

please dear god no one get offended, its a line from a song that's nostalgic

FWIW I think its because it was a private plane, plus, Rush has a criminal record, so it may be that:
A. private planes coming from places like the Dominican are always searched
B. its a condition of his parole/plea bargin/whatever

I wouldn't say "hero". Many doubtlessly listen to him regularly and may even believe whatever he says, but many also recognize his rhetoric for what it is.

I think my favorite comment about him from a right-wing site was a year or two ago, when someone said he had "become a caricature of himself". I can't remember which site, unfortunately.
