Rush: Listen to me, I'm funny

The news that customs found Viagra not prescribed to Limbaugh in his luggage wasn't terribly surprising, but hey, it's no big deal:

I've been rackin' my brain, I'm trying to figure out how Bob Dole's luggage got on my airplane.

At any rate uhh, ladies and gent - I told the doctor, I said look, I'm worried about the next ELECTION, not...a misunderstanding. Now things are what they are.


Funny!

What I want to know is what the (single, divorced, childless) hero of the family values crowd was doing in the Dominican Republic with a bottle of Viagra...

Limbaugh Will Not Be Charged Over Viagra
Limbaugh Will Not Be Charged Over Viagra Found in His Possession
By BRIAN SKOLOFF
The Associated Press

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Rush Limbaugh will not face charges in Palm Beach County for the bottle of Viagra found in his luggage that was prescribed in his doctor's name, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Charges could have nullified the conservative radio host's plea agreement in a "doctor shopping" case.

Limbaugh, 55, was detained for more than three hours at Palm Beach International Airport on June 26 after he returned on his private plane from a vacation in the Dominican Republic.

The state attorney's office said Dr. Steve Strumwasser's name was on the Viagra bottle, not Limbaugh's. Strumwasser, who is Limbaugh's psychiatrist, told authorities he "agreed to have his name on the label in an effort to avoid potentially embarrassing publicity for the suspect," according to a filing by the prosecutor's office.

"Thus, the medication contained in the subject pill bottle was legitimately prescribed to the suspect by his physician," the filing said.

It is generally not illegal under Florida law for a physician to prescribe medication in a third party's name if all parties are aware and the doctor documents it correctly, said Mike Edmondson, a spokesman for the state attorney in Palm Beach County.

However, since the doctor wrote the prescription in Miami-Dade County, the case has been forwarded to prosecutors there for review.

The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office had no immediate comment.

Charges in the Viagra case could have nullified a deal Limbaugh reached with prosecutors last month in which a single "doctor shopping" charge was deferred for 18 months, so long as Limbaugh does not get arrested for any reason.

Authorities had accused Limbaugh of illegally deceiving multiple doctors to get overlapping painkiller prescriptions. Limbaugh denied the charges but acknowledged he was addicted to painkillers.

The office of Limbaugh's lawyer, Roy Black, referred questions Wednesday to Limbaugh spokesman Tony Knight, who did not immediately have a comment.

The Palm Beach County state attorney's office also said it forwarded the matter to the state Department of Professional Regulation and the Department of Health to determine if the doctor breached ethics.

There was no immediate response to a call seeking comment from Strumwasser at his office. His home telephone number is not published.
