Rush Limbaugh gets off Viagra charge.

Rush Limbaugh won’t be charged in his Viagra case. Limbaugh was detained last month for having a bottle of Viagra in his luggage. The Viagra was prescribed to another person, the doctor who prescribed it, for privacy reasons.

[...] It is a question that boggles the mind and churns the stomach… Terrance at The Republic of T. engages in some “wild speculation” as to what Rush Limbaugh was doing in the Dominican Republic with a bottle of Viagra that didn’t have his name on it — asking the tough questions. According to his Wikipedia profile, Rush is a single man at the moment. He’s between girlfriends and divorces at the moment, so as far as I’m concerned he can do what he wants. (And, as the American Street points out, he’s very generous with his affections.) While I’m inclined to wonder how a guy like Rush gets laid at all, my guess is that money, power and celebrity help a lot where personality and other characteristics (basic humanity, compassion, etc.) fall short. And there’s still the question of what Rush’s right wing supporters, and the great moralizers among them, have to say about an unmarried man even having a prescription for Viagra. […] What was Rush doing with a Viagra prescription in a country that one christian aid organization described as having the highest number of people working in the world working in the sex trade, including children? What need did Rush have to get an erection in a country which the U.S. government cites as having rampant prostitution— including child prostitution — and as one of the worst offenders in the trafficking of women and children for forced labor as sex-workers? [...]

There are actually some very nice, exclusive, high-end resorts in D.R., where the Kissingers, Grahams, and other notables have been known to holiday. There is “legit” tourism there. Bashing Rush is great fun (and oh so easy to do!) but lets not paint the entire nation of the Dominican Republic with such a broad brush. While aiming at Rush (a big, fat, lying target) don’t tarnish the entire nation.

His most recent companion left after three years, possibly tired of slapping Mr. Softie to attention, taking the reaction to all those prescription treats personally. Please Daryn, tell me he didn’t touch you “down There.”

Breeze, I’m not ready to badmouth Bennett “the gambler” as doing some kind of shameful thing. So far as I know he bet with his own money in legitimate places and I’m not sure what’s wrong about that. Foolish, maybe, but I think it’s his own business and did no harm to others, nor broke any laws. Some people gamble on stocks, others play the lotteries incessantly and while I don’t I’m fine with them doing it.

Besides an apparent disagreement with Bennett’s politics, and (probably) being turned off by his style (which I don’t mind at all) is there something “bad” about Bennett that puts him in the same camp with Limbaugh and O’Reilly in your pecking order?

Just curious.

[...] The Republic of T has a great article about this story: Penis [...]

Typical liberal attacks. No content just personal insults. Seems like I remember reading plenty about Libs like Kennedy, Clinton etc who had plenty of naughty time while holding the highest polictical office in the land. Limbaugh must really hit home with you guys. Maybe you all need a trip to DR.

Funny how the conservative whines about personal attacks, and immediately follows up with personal attacks.
I, frankly, couldn’t care less about Limbaugh or his sex life. And I am tired of personal attacks generally.
But the issue here is whether an influential person got a sweetheart deal on a drug case, which likely wouldn’t have been available to an uninfluential person, and within months violated the terms of that agreement.
That is typical of what we have seen out of the right wing. “Rules are rules, and laws are laws. Except if they might apply to us, in which case, never mind.”

I say it’s time to make it even more personal and trite. I’m shocked and pissed that no one worked up the single guy with viagara angle. And if you’re waiting for the God Squad to bring it up — keep waiting. Despite the prez leaving them high and dry dozens of times, it is loyalty that is the most prized possession. Remember when they accused dems of cowing to Clinton claiming he was “sexually harassing” Monica? Why are you being two-faced liberals?

Rush Limbaugh actually used to make fat jokes about Clinton! When he was twice Clinton’s size. I say we make sure that Bennett, Limbaugh and O’Reilly get no rest until their hypocrisy leaves them destitute. And if he thinks leading a double life is going to work in recovery — well, he’s already looking at a relapse. I say this time they put him under the jail. Then his sponsor can have a long talk with him about what personal responsibility really means.

Bennett hasn’t broken any laws? Well, it isn’t against the law for gay sex anymore but he’s sure against that — even though there’s a constitutional amendment that guarantees people can practice any religion (or none) if they choose.

Quit being so damn liberal — fight hate with hateful things. don’t take the high road. call them on their crap. I say end liberal enabling of conservative hypocrisy.

Foks, it is about time you all realise that the right wing, republican party does not pratice what they preach! This is nothing new, yet it seems that so many people are afraid to admit it. For example… Rush has over the years bashed other people for the use of drugs, being fat, being a “liberal” If anyone has taken the time rece3ntly and does not live under a rock, then you would know this is simply just talk……

Rush himself isn’t the most fit man in the world. We all know he has had drug issues in the past. Folks, it is time to realize the right wing “bashing” of others is just a way for these people to divert the spot light off of them and onto someone else.

Another example is the Bush administration making a “big” issue out of the New York times story on goverment programs to track money transactions around the world,

Ok people time to wake up and smell the coffee, see what is really going on here. Over the last 5 years Bush and his administration have made several (at least 9) mentions of our goverment tracking money transactions across the world as a way to combat terror. .. hummm ok, so it is ok for Bush to talk about it in his speaches? But not ok for anyone “outside” his administration to ttalk about it? Be real… this is just another failed attempt of the right wing to make others look bad, while at the same time the right wing of this country do the very same they call treason.

Rush is praying for a liberal judge. He needs to go away and meet his new 200# lover. Might even like it!

You folks are all funny. If some bleeding heart liberal was left holding a bag of unprescribed Viagra, and Rush and his cronnies started asking the same questions or making the same comments, each and every one of you would have been all up in arms, screaming for all the world to hear; “It’s none of anyone’s BUSUINESS where Mr. Liberal CHOOSES his penis. As long as he didn’t break any laws, he has his right to PRIVACY for gosh sakes.”

I mean, can’t we go back to Bush bashing? That’s so much more fun.
