Rush Limbaugh Arrested On Drug Charges

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., April 28, 2006

Okay, so the headlines were a bit misleading. I must admit that I was all a-twitter at the thought of Rush L. being in the pokey.

But this whole thing is confusing to me. Here it says: Prosecutors’ three-year investigation of Limbaugh began after he publicly acknowledged being addicted to pain medication and entered a rehabilitation program. They accused Limbaugh of “doctor shopping,” or illegally deceiving multiple doctors to receive overlapping prescriptions, after learning that he received about 2,000 painkillers, prescribed by four doctors in six months, at a pharmacy near his Palm Beach mansion.

But then there’s this: Limbaugh, who pleaded not guilty Friday, has steadfastly denied doctor shopping. Black said the charge will be dismissed in 18 months if Limbaugh complies with court guidelines.

So he wasn’t doctor shopping. But he did receive a couple thousand pills from four different docs in half a year. But there’s nothing weird about all those different doctors. Hmm Mmm. Just regular stuff, visiting my four different doctors to get my sick mitts on two thousand pain pills.
