I have no facts, and anyone looking to me to have the facts on this or any other breaking news story will be very disappointed. All I have is my opinion. My opinion is, the only story to be had here is if the pills we legal or not. If they are legal then there is no story, and if they are not legal then there <i>might be</i> a story here. My opinion is, the hookers, boys club, secret flight, sex trade angle is nothing more than cannon fodder for tabloid news shows. Sorry, either you miss-read or I didn’t explain my self well enough.

(1) The ‘little blue pills’ were apparently obtained in Florida, not DR. If this proves to be false then you have a point, but at least as reported thus far, he obtained the pills in Fla, not DR. (2) in Florida it is apparently permissible under some circumstances for a physician to issue the script in the doctor’s own name as long as it is appropriately documented by the doctor that the script is for the patient. Al Franken is correct, Rush is a Big Fat Idiot, but attacking him with misinformation (or at least not identifying speculation for what it is) just lowers us to Rush’s level of expertise, and gives Rush’s nut-job supporters all the ammo they need to label this an unfair, and uninformed attack. Why not just go back to the established point that Rush, who advocated stiff sentences for drug abusers, is now an admitted drug abuser himself (prescription pain meds, not viagara). That alone makes him an incredible hypocrite. Incidentally, his well publicized hearing loss was likely caused by his abuse of the pain medication. So his addiction was no minor matter. If he had the viagara script illegally, then his plea deal should be thrown out. If not, his plea deal is probably safe. P.S. Personally I think even the phrase “Rush’s penis” is better than Jenny Craig in causing weight loss. Who can even think of food with such a revolting image in mind. (Granted, one probably need a magnifying glass to see that image, but I digress lol) I hate Rush as much as the next guy (probably more) but TimWho? at least get your facts right.

Thu, 29 Jun 2006 13:53:39 +0000 http://www.republicoft.com/2006/06/28/rush-to-judgement/#comment-622 Sorry, as interesting as it might be the story isn't why he needs the pills, why he flew to DR, if he had sex with hookers or even if it was an all boys trip. Rush was charged with Dr shopping, Getting prescription medication from several Dr's. Rush is on <i>probation</i> No doubt one of the terms of that probation is he not continue to get prescription medication from different sources. He now knows he cannot continue to Dr shop in the US so he's taking his private plane to another country and having prescriptions filled there (in another persons name) to avoid prosecution in the US. This is the story. Limbaugh was able to get a sweet heart deal to get dropped charges after 18 months of compliance with court directives. Somehow I think the "court directives" said something about not carrying around prescription medication that doesn't belong to you. In addition in Palm Beach. 'Possessing a controlled drug such as Viagra without a prescription is a violation of the law.' The Sherrif's office will file with the State's Attorney.
