Limbaugh detained at Palm Beach airport
2006-06-27
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Rush Limbaugh was detained for more than three hours Monday at Palm Beach International Airport after authorities said they found a bottle of Viagra in his possession without 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. U.S. Customs and Border Protection examined the 55-year-old radio commentator's luggage after his private plane landed at the airport from the Dominican Republic, said Miller. The matter was referred to the sheriff's office, whose investigators interviewed Limbaugh. According to Miller, Limbaugh said that the Viagra was for his use, and that he obtained it from his doctors.
You get the sense that perhaps, just perhaps, Mr. Limbaugh's name is on a list or two?
Certainly not. Norm Mineta has told us many times that he would never profi...what? He's leaving office? Oh. Never mind.

#6  Rush opened his show about 38 minutes ago complaining that Bob Dole's luggage got mixed up with his. LOL.

#5  Just can't wait for the Customs people to detain a busload of AARP crowd types coming back from Mexico or Canada with 'prescription' drugs.

#3  I had to giggle when I heard this story. But I have to wonder if the private planes of Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, et al will get similar scrutiny at any airport. I canÂ’t wait to hear the story on his show today.

#2  Shoulda been caught DWI? I mean if you're a Dem and a representative with a Kennedy name, it's OK right?

BTW - where do all the 'young' men obtain the little blue pill? And they just so happen to pick this man, who probably needs it more than the 20 year olds.

#1  Attention, 80% of you guys over 50, up against the wall and spread 'em.

What's sad is that, knowing this, I could have been detained last time I flew back to the US for having prescription antihistamines that I bought over the counter overseas.
