(CBS4 News) WEST PALM BEACH Sources have confirmed to CBS4 News that conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been detained at Palm Beach International Airport for the possible possession of illegal prescription drugs Monday evening.

Limbaugh was returning on a flight from the Dominican Republic when officials found the drugs, among them Viagra.

Limbaugh entered a plea deal back in April in a previous case where his charge of fraud to conceal information to obtain prescriptions was dropped under the condition he continue undergoing treatment for addiction.

Limbaugh had admitted to being addicted to pain killers on his radio program and had entered a rehabilitation program prior to that arrest.

I have no analysis. Just a good, hearty, "HAW HAW!" Send his ass up the river with the first-time underclass and minority offenders.
 
:rofl:

Drudge has Limbaugh's attorney's reponse but not the original story itself. I'm downright shocked :roll:. anyway the attorney says the drugs were prescribed by Limbaugh's doctor to the doctor himself for privacy reasons. 1) Its not like the media can just peruse medical records at will so why worry about privacy AND 2) I find it interesting that this means that celebrities should recieve special treatment and not be required to have a prescription in their own name because they need privacy.
 
There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods, which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.

What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too.

...We are becoming too tolerant as a society, folks, especially of crime, in too many parts of the country.... This country certainly appears to be tolerant, forgive and forget. I mean, you know as well as I do, you go out and commit the worst murder in the world and you just say you're sorry, people go, "Oh, OK. A little contrition."... People say, "I feel better. He said he's sorry for it." We're becoming too tolerant, folks.

I want to let you read along with me a quote from Jerry Colangelo about substance abuse, and I think you'll find that he's very much right…"I know every expert in the world will disagree with me, but I don't buy into the disease part of it. The first time you reach for a substance you are making a choice. Every time you go back, you are making a personal choice. I feel very strongly about that."...

What he's saying is that if there's a line of cocaine here, I have to make the choice to go down and sniff it….And his point is that we are rationalizing all this irresponsibility and all the choices people are making and we're blaming not them, but society for it. All these Hollywood celebrities say the reason they're weird and bizarre is because they were abused by their parents. So we're going to pay for that kind of rehab, too, and we shouldn't. It's not our responsibility. It's up to the people who are doing it. And Colangelo is right.

I have a solution for Mrs. [Jocelyn] Elders. I mean, if she wants to legalize drugs, send the people who want to do drugs to London and Zurich and let's be rid of them. Now...The problem with legalizing drugs is, it's just another abhorrent example of human behavior that we've suddenly decided, "Hey, we can't handle it. We've given up and we're going to sanction the destruction of lives. We're going to let you destroy your life. We're going to make it easy, and then all of us who accept the responsibilities of life and don't destroy our lives on drugs--we'll pay for whatever messes you get into."...

I'm appalled at people who simply want to look at all this abhorrent behavior and say, "Hey, you know, we can't control it anymore. People are going to do drugs anyway. Let's legalize it." It's a dumb idea. It's a rotten idea, and those who are for it are purely, 100 percent selfish.

Karma's a bitch.
 
That depends if the police want to push forward with it, which seeing that they let him go, they're not likely to do. Technically I don't think he has 'probation' but it does violate his agreement with the prosecutor's office. If this is seen as a violation of that agreement, it'd go to trial where it's very likely he'd be convicted. I doubt they'll go after him because he's stuck to the meat of his agreement.

Now his doctor on the other hand, he's screwed.
 
What doctor would risk their license and practice for a patients "privacy". My wife is a doc and she basically said "no fucking way".

I am sure that the doctor was rewarded for the risk that he was taking.
 
What was an unmarried man doing in the Dominican Republic with a bottle full of viagra? Sounds like another case of Republican "moral values".
 
First thing that popped into my head:

" I take a couple uppers
I down a couple downers
But nothing compares
To these blue and yellow purple pills
I been to mushroom mountain
Once or twice but who's countin'
But nothing compares
To these blue and yellow purple pills"
 
They should make him do a tv special as community service. He give details about his addiction, why he started, why he didn't stop etc. Go through everything and make it into an anti-drug special.

It's Limbaugh: the idea that he might need viagra is incredibly suspicious to me, too.

Aren't there criminal implications as well. Otherwise doctors could act as drug dealers with one get-out-of-jail-free card.
 
The worst part is that he went on the radio yesterday and joked about the whole incident.

They should throw the book at him.
 
He should've had "no comment".

I can't wait until Slimebaugh blames his support for the sex industry on "the Clenis".
 
So, what article are you quoting myke? The text you pasted doesn't match up with the linked article. It's wording is askew. You quoted "officials found the drugs, among them Viagra." implying there were other, perhaps, illicit substances other than the Viagra that led them to finding the blue ones yet the linked article makes no mention of any other drugs. Is that media bias, or just plain old myke bias ?
 
The article in the OP is what the link in the OP took you to. At the time it was a seven sentence or so "We can confirm that Rush Limbaugh was detained for drugs" report. Now it is whatever it is.

When you're done shooting me, the messenger, please consider that you have a person with a serious drug problem to take care of. Glad to see your priorities are in order. :roll:
 
Sorry, I don't think viagra is considered a "serious" problem, or didn't you read that part of the article where they mentioned it's not considered a dangerous drug. For christ's sake, it's not even a scheduled substance (I-V).

And if you knew me at all, I am not my brothers' keeper. Limbaugh can take care of himself as far as I'm concerned.

You, on the other hand, profess to be society's saviour. According to your philosophy, it's required to sacrifice one's self for the common good of others and as a whole give part or all of your income, time and production to help others who are in need whether socially or financially. Therefore it's your duty to see that Rush get's himself weaned from viagra and can maintain erections without medical help. I'm sure you're a perfect fit for that job.

Yes, that's right. There's no societal responsibility on your behalf. You did it all on your own, not because you were raised an upper-middle-class white male. Mm-hmm. No need to be concerned with anyone else.

Then again, if you truly believe that Limbaugh had nothing more than Viagra and Flinstone's vitamins, you need to rethink your self-righteous perspective on being the beacon of truth that perceives the profit-minded media of being socialist.

It's what the article said, myke. On one hand you coddle your liberal media sources as god's honest truth, but on the other you say that they aren't giving the real truth. Which is it, myke? Are they lying to you or have you just lied to yourself for so long it's become an unconscious reflex?

And yes, I acomplished my position in life on my own, I owe NOTHING to you for my success, nor would I expect you to be in my debt for anything you have achieved. You've ridden the train and paid your fare, that's all one should expect from men in a free society unless you want us all to be slaves to one another.

Oh, wait, that's exactly what you want. A complete lack of achievement and personal success, the obliteration of private property, and the loss of control of one's own destiny. That's your goal. To be completely in debt from cradle to grave to your neighbors and fellow citizens so that they can legally rob you of anything you decide to create from your intellect and fortitude. Brilliant idea. This way, you can not only share in others' success, but you can blame others for your own failures. You are truly the enemy of humankind and his achievements.
