Rush Limbaugh's Prescriptionless Viagra Stash
 

Well, well, well... looks like old Rush can't get it up and has taken it upon himself to score some of the little blue diamonds without a prescription.

Talk about a "Rush" of blood to the 'head' :rolleyes:

He's such a doofus.

I think he's going to do some hard time.


[/stolenjoke]

Misleading much?
According to the attorney's statement there was a perscription- but his Dr's ordered it in their name for his privacy. I don't know the legality of that- but the OP is misleading- I would say.

From your own link-

Often legal? Nice.

He's still a doofus.

Just out of curiosity is a prescription even legally required if you get pills directly from the doctor? I thought it was just required to get the pills from a pharmacist.

I've many times received antibiotics directly from a physician (in the form of a stack of sample packets) without ever receiving a prescription and with no prescription information on the packaging.

Would the whole thing have been avoided if he had just taken the pills out of the bottle and put them in a baggie? Or one of those day-by-day pill sorters?

Good point.....with my medical issue over the last few years, I've had probably 10 different drugs from docs as samples without a perscription just so I could see if they worked.

Oh, I hadn't paid enough attention.

I assumed he had been stopped at a regular baggage check and didn't realize it was going through customs returning to the country. I still don't know about the larger prescription-requirement issue but it is definitely doofus-ish to try and enter the country with drugs you can't prove are authorized.

I used to listen to Rush...read his book...liked him even when I disagreed with him because he was entertaining. Of course that was a long, long time ago, during the Republican Revolution around '94.

Now he's just pathetic and an embarrassment to himself and everyone else as well. I wish he'd go away.

I know you will all be shocked, so be warned.

I listen to Rush.

I've listened to him since 1992. His personal life aside, I don't find any significant difference to how he entertains and presents info I am interested in between today and back in 1992.

Me too.

In fact I find that most people who bitch about him have never actually bothered to listen to him. (I have no idea about any of you-this is just my experience)

I've listened to him and find him hypocritical and condescending. Of course, I think that of about 99% of talk hosts, on either side of the line (or polygon, if you prefer)

It doesn't bother me that most here don't like him anymore than it bothers anyone here that I don't care for Al Franken.

If I discounted everyone who was a hypocrite I wouldn't listen to anyone, including myself. Does making a judgement about what is wrong automatically make you a hypocrite when your own failings are exposed? Probably. Such is public life. I am only different in that no one cares about my dirty laundry.

Like I said, I think the same of every talk host I've ever heard (I left it at 99% simply because I haven't heard all of them). So I don't listen to talk radio.

Yes, we're all at least partially hypocritical. But it's the combination of condecension and hypocriticality that put talk hosts in a special class of blech to me.

I've never found him to be condescending. Perhaps because I agree with most of his politics.

That's interesting. I can't listen to talk hosts, even if I agree with their politics. I could go find truckloads of codnescending quotes from any talk show host you name. It's what they thrive on. Kinda like the interview with Jerry Falwell I heard this morning where he happily admitted that he says half the crap he says solely because it puts his name in the paper.

But I really don't care enough to read what they have to say.

I find politicians to be far more condescending than radio talk show hosts. I can hardly stand to even listen to the ones I vote for.

I don't disagree...but at least they actually have a position of power. All talk host do is talk and try to piss people off.

As far as the topic goes, I wonder if the fact that he is on probation for doctor shopping might be the deciding factor in whether or not to charge him and/or what penalties he may face.

His lawyer claiming that he did nothing wrong doesn't really sway me. Don't they all say that?

Good lord knows OJ was innocent.:) Lawyers don't lie. Surely they don't.

The spokesman for the state attorney said it most likely was not illegal- not just his personal attorney.

Fair enough, I'll admit that. Unfortunately it's too late for me to change it.

I have listened to Rush, but not for very long. I found him to be grating, condescending, and pompous. I used to enjoy Al Franken (especially when he was on SNL and the early election/campaign coverage he did for Comedy Central), but I can't listen to him any more because I now find him grating, condescending, and pompous.

Any time someone sets him/herself up on a pedestal and has a holier-than-thou attitude, I revel in seeing them taken down. I care not if they are Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or whatever.

It mystifies me that people can listen to talk radio. A colleague of mine does and is constantly freeting over the latest political issue. I prefer entertainment without ulcers thank you very much.

I agree with much of his politics and find him condescending.

But I agree with GD on most all talking heads: they HAVE to be confrontational. No one wants to listen to an agreeable political commentator who equally acknowledges all sides of a story and make rational, reasonable decisions.

I would find that so refreshing and compelling. NPR is about as close as it comes. (I hear a right wing sneaker somewhere.)

(raising my hand)

I wonder if a stiff sentence will make Rush do hard time for this...

Funny, Rush didn't seem any taller last time I saw him on TV.

lol! :D

If going to the Dominican Republic with recreational Viagra is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

An even handed response- as usual.:D

:D

Limbaugh won't be charged.

Apparently what happened was completely legal, although it did kind of complicate the whole privacy part of the equation.

Darn liberal media. Letting Rush off so easily. :D


I heard a joke on the radio the other day. Someone said 'We all know Rush is on Viagra, but what does his sexual partner have to be on to survive an experience like that?'

awww darn


(yes- sarcasm)
