what next????

Rush Limbaugh is the one who always points out that "Character counts." What does this infraction say about his character and integrity (or lack thereof) when it comes to agreeing not to get caught for any further violations for prescriptions?

Limbaugh would look so gross with a viagra induced hard on. What woman or man would want him? His girlfriend is probably Mr. Hand.

Rush's reponse:

'HOW DID BOB DOLE'S LUGGAGE GET ON MY AIRPLANE? I TOLD MY DOCTOR I WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE NEXT ELECTION'

Yet another GOP hypocrite, do as I say, not as I do.

Ann Coulter!

Love it! Ann Coulter!

Does this make him a hardened criminal?

I bet they didn't give him a hard time in the Dominican Republic, where he was coming...from!

I feel for his girlfriend, partner or significant other... eek!

Good one! Love that one most of all.

I guess now his doctor-shopping charges will all be reinstated and it's off to jail he goes. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200. Go directly to jail. Irony is very ironic in life. Ahhh...

Didn't he also violate a condition of his probation? Why, if he was on probation, was he in a foreign country? I thought folks on probation were not allowed to leave their state, let alone the country. My, oh my, how is he and his lawyer going to talk their way out of this one? I wonder whatever happened to Mr. Rush "law & order" Limbaugh? Oh, and what about the doctor? Isn't he guilty of prescription fraud? If I am not mistaken, doctors are not allowed to willy-nilly write prescriptions for themselves or anyone else. I wonder how many federal laws both Rush and his doctor violated?

I'm trying to figure out why a "family values" guy who believes in the sanctity of marriage would need viagara outside of wedlock anyway???

The drug-taking Christian "family guy" who's railed against drug abusers has been divorced THREE times and supposedly broke off his non-chaste sexual relationship with CNN anchor Daryn Kagan, whom he'd turned into a RNC-spouting fembot, so I guess he needed a hot and steamy getaway, and the Dominican Republic, which has a reputation for prostitution, piqued (peaked?) his interest!

Traveling abroad won't necessarily violate terms of probation; it depends on what those terms are.
Did anyone see Keith Olberman? He was great. Rush was trying to bluster about how he had a great time in the DR. Olberman pointed out that Viagra comes in packs of 30 and there were 29 so it looked like "Limbo" (whom he called comedian Rush Limbaugh, repeatedly) had A good time.

I guess he is trying to be a hardened criminal.

Girlfriends "after sex" comment?

Thanks for the tip

Maybe he finds himself so repulsive that he can't get it up even to jerk off.

Considering that under Florida law what Rush did was not illegal, he isn't at risk. Florida law permits prescriptions to be written in the prescribing doctor's name for privacy reasons, which is exactly what occurred here. As a liberal, no fan of Rush attorney said Wednesday evening, this was an intentional and blatant attempt to violate the privacy of and publicly humiliate Rush. Shaving kits of those who fly on private planes are rarely, if ever searched. How many rock stars, for example, would survive such searches if their shaving kits were searched like Rush's suddenly were? Hell, most of them would be locked up on the spot.

I don't listen to the guy or have any desire to do so--I can care less, truthfully--but what happened here was bullshit. It's a shame that so many here are so childishly ignorant of this. Once again, one's rights depend on where he/she falls on the ideological spectrum.

Oh! The hypocrisy!

Okay, whoever you are, scuzzball or not, your medical history and/or prescriptions are NOT fair game to be used against you. Period. If it wouldn't be right if your prescriptions were used against you, then it's NOT okay for you to use them against your enemies. Period. That's it. No negotiation. Get some principles and stand by them, people. Slimeball or not, principles need to be applied equally.

In this case, this is Rush Limbaugh, who has made a living by saying that "Character counts." Now if he is truly of good moral character, then he wouldn't have had an illicit prescription drug in his possession, would he?

Come on, the real reason I deride the man is because he has put himself above moral reproach. Only now that he's being proven to be just as human as the rest of us, he has no moral authority to rail on anyone: liberal, conservative or otherwise!

Plane Ticket: $800
Cost of Luggage: $350
Viagra Pills: $80
Seeing Rush Limbaugh Squirm While His Hypocrisy is Exposed: PRICELESS!

There are still some things money can't buy!

Chuck, I think this is the first time I've seen you post outside of the martial arts thread. I'm assuming you most likely have posted in other threads and forums, but it's nice to see you out here.

And what's with all the camaraderie lately? I haven't seen this type of unity on the board in a long time. I must say, I rather enjoy this....it's infinitely better. It's encouraging to see people sticking together in a time of uncertainty. You guys just made my day better...thanks

Although he may not have been at risk for the action if it was a Florida doctor who prescribed: he was certainly knowingly guilty of violating his plea agreement.

That is true in that I have never had my luggage searched even once when flying international charter. Usually they just hand you a clipboard to sign and that is it - EXCEPT -
I have seen them TEAR APART charters where they had reason to believe from their computer files that the owner had a previous drug related arrest..

Oh give me a break - he was caught in a routine manner - probably because some computer file came up on the screen saying he had a previous drug arrest.

He just happens to be famous so everybody is 'oh so shocked' and instantly politicising the damn thing. IF his name had been Joe Schmuck the same damn thing would have happened except no one would have ever heard about it... except some night court judge somewhere

Hmmm - I tend to agree - but does that apply to all criminals who have abused prescription drug regulations? If so it's kind of late to start now: We have been publicising drug arrests and problems for years.

I tend to agree that legitimate health and prescription information is and should be totally confidential.

But that is not what we are talking about: here we have the case of a known drug abuser having his luggage searched.

That he is a political and media figure is what makes this news.

I think he is just 'being hoist with his own petard'.

That remark about Ann Coulter was hilarious. Thanks for posting that ms. deblazer. You rule.
