Rush Limbaugh arrested for illegal Viagra posession

Now this one is as embarrassing as they get.  CBS 4 News in Miami has the low-down on Rush:

Limbaugh was returning on a flight from the Dominican Republic when customs officials found a Viagra prescription that did not bear his name. Instead, the bottle of pills had the names of two doctors on it according to the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents examined the 55-year-old's luggage after his private plane landed at the airport from the Dominican Republic. The matter was then turned over to the Sheriff's Office. Investigators seized the drugs - used to treat erectile dysfunction - from Limbaugh.

Limbaugh was detained for about three hours and was let go after cooperating with officials. He could be facing a second-degree misdemeanor violation if the State Attorney's office presses charges.

Limbaugh entered a plea deal back in April in a previous case where his charge of fraud to conceal information to obtain prescriptions was dropped under the condition he continue undergoing treatment for addiction.

Limbaugh had admitted to being addicted to pain killers on his radio program and had entered a rehabilitation program prior to that arrest.

The Associated Press has more on Limbaugh's Viagra arrest.

Limbaugh faced other legal action a few years ago when he was arrested and nearly charged for obtaining unprescribed painkillers and concealing them from police.  He got the painkillers from his house servant.  So when you think about it, Rush should have sympathy for other people that suffer from pain, considering that he is a victim.  Actually, the sympathy is not there.  Back in April of this year, Limbaugh verbally assaulted those who use marijuana in order to deal with severe pain:

"the FDA says there's no -- zilch, zero, nada -- shred of medicinal value to the evil weed marijuana. This is going to be a setback to the long-haired, maggot-infested, dope-smoking crowd."

Now that Limbaugh has been charged again with using unprescribed medication, this time Viagra, one only can wonder what else the conservative radio talk-show host has in his cupboard.
