The viagara part is true. However, he was not busted, not arrested. He was interviewed only and allowed to go on his way. The most recent update says he was detained for three hours while being interviewed. The viagara has his doc's name on it, not his, which could be a second degree misdemeanor.

What a dope! After his recent drug problems, I'd hoped the guy would learn his lessons. D'oh!

How ironic is it he and his doctors concocted this scheme "for privacy purposes"?

Will his doctors have to answer for their part in this little scheme?

How will this affect his standing with the court under the previous charge?

He got busted, caught...

Here, let me use the right wing media filter and restate what I said:

"America's sweetheart and exposer of everything vile and liberal, Rush Limbaugh, was escorted by airport security and terrorism screeners to the airport security lounge for an amusing conversation. Apparently, Mr. Limbaugh was part of some innocent shenanigans and petty chicanery in regards to his pharmaceutical needs. After a lark, a couple of amusing tales of old, Limbaugh and security personnel took part in a jig and drank some non-alcoholic ale. Nothing to see here, move right along."

I think that same "right wing" media originally said he was arrested, but I could be wrong.

Regardless of legal ramifications, it was remarkably stupid in light of his previous problems.

If you think that the majority of the media is left, then you're not paying attention.

All perspective. I could say the same thing to you. Most likely the case is that they are to the right of you and to the left of me.

Fox"News" is too left for you?

We can play the back and forth game all day citing examples that suit our purpose. The perspective of news being slanted to the left or right is determined by the political positioning of the viewer/reader/listener of said news.

A lot of the news is being manipulated by this Administration. There's very little room to determine anything.
Mark Malloch Brown was right in saying that lots of what happens in this country and outside of the US is dumbed down or excluded by news outlets like Rush and Fox"News".

Yeah....this is actually why Katie Couric moved from Today to the CBS Nightly News. Because she is so friendly to the administration, there was a coup planned by Rove to oust Rather and replace him with a Bush yes-woman. But then again, Rather was clearly being used by the right in the whole forged docs scandal on he eve of election.
