Press Stiffs Limbaugh Over Viagra

How far into the cesspool of life does the news media want to go with their war against Rush Limbaugh? Regardless of your like or dislike for the popular radio talk show host’s positions on political issues; does anyone really believe that the public needs or wants to know about Rush having a bottle of Viagra in his suitcase?

“WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (AP) -- Rush Limbaugh was detained for about 3 1/2 hours at Palm Beach International Airport after authorities said they found a bottle of Viagra in his possession without a prescription.”

{. . . }

“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.”

I’m aware of the recent drawn out prescription drug fiasco that Rush went through, something which would point a spotlight on any suspected violation; but really now, Viagra? This should give Jay Leno and the rest of the stand up comedians enough material to raise their ratings; what, maybe six inches. The drive by media doesn’t need Viagra; all they need is to hear the name Limbaugh. Isn’t there a warning, something like, “For erections lasting over 4 hours seek immediate medical help”? In the case of the drive by media, I’d say they have exceeded that 4 hours; Get Help! Let the puns begin…
