Poor put upon Rush Limbaugh. He’s in trouble over his drug use yet again. This time he was detained for three hours at Palm Beach International Airport because of a bottle of Viagra for which he didn’t have a prescription.
Customs officials found a prescription bottle labeled as Viagra in his luggage that didn’t have Limbaugh’s name on it, but that of two doctors, said Paul Miller, spokesman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
A doctor had prescribed the drug, but it was “labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes,” Roy Black, Limbaugh’s attorney, said in a statement.
Privacy purposes? Yeah, I suppose ol’ Rush wouldn’t want it to get around that he has trouble getting the old crane cranked up these days. Someone might imply he’s lost his manhood and he can’t afford to have people thinking he’s not a MAN’s man anymore.
But that’s not the funniest part, though. No, the funniest part is the fact that CBS News goes on to point out what a stunning hypocrite Limbaugh is:
Limbaugh reached a deal last month with prosecutors who had accused the conservative talk-show host of illegally deceiving multiple doctors to receive overlapping painkiller prescriptions. Under the deal, the charge, commonly referred to as “doctor shopping,” would be dismissed after 18 months if he continues to submit to random drug tests and treatment for his acknowledged addiction to painkillers.
Before his own problems became public, Limbaugh had decried drug use and abuse and mocked President Clinton for saying he had not inhaled when he tried marijuana. He often made the case that drug crimes deserve punishment.
“Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. ... 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,” Limbaugh said on his short-lived television show on Oct. 5, 1995.
Just so you know, Rush, the fact that you’re a hypocrite of amazing proportions is more damning than finding out you use Viagra. Assuming it is actually Viagra in that bottle you had. After all OxyContin comes as a little blue pill too.
If you’ll excuse me I have to go off and laugh myself sick now.
We could end the drug ‘problem’ on this planet overnight by making all drugs legal thereby halving the prison population, police and customs force, insurance premiums, etc.
Sure there’d be some collateral damage but at least if ‘drugs’ were legal their potency could be controlled, like alcohol and tobacco, and taxes could be gathered.
It’d be another gold-mine for governments.

Damn right, James Old Guy.
All (well some) joking aside, impotency can be a problem.
I was plagued with it in the late 80s and my woman suggested I go to the Impotence Clinic at Parramatta. I parked about 2 blocks away and walked.
The doctor fiddled about and gave my little fella an injection and told me to wait in there.
A few moments later I felt a stirring in my loins.
The little fella became a giant.
The doctor gave me the option of buying a course of self-administered little one-shot needles. I declined as I’d figured the problem was with my big head as opposed to my little head.
Walking back to my car I couldn’t keep the grin off my face as I imagined passers-by checking out my weapon moving from side to side in my trousers.
