Really? So who is the AVERAGE listener? Evidently, they have no job, as Rush is on from 12-3 pm. Either that, or they have a job working in a warehouse or driving a taxi - where they can play the radio. Oh, and I know the local barber shop plays Rush, so the barbers are in the demographic.

Was this true about you when you were a Rush listener for 8 to 10 years? Were you unemployed? Did you drive a cab, cut hair, or work in a warehouse?

Ahhhh, nope!

I have a hard time criticizing anyone that gets addicted to these meds because for 99%, it wasn't a voluntary choice to start taking them. It was a medical necessity.

Are painkillers a medical necessity? I would think that you could heal from an injury with or without them. It might be tough to forgo the meds, but it seems like a voluntary choice to me.

So I wouldn't criticize someone who is addicted to street drugs any more than I would criticize someone who is addicted to prescribed painkillers. Regarding most addicts, I think they started out by making a voluntary choice to medicate themselves for some type of pain - physical or emotional.

Being an addict (which he admited) and the charge of dr shopping are way different.

I've met a few women that made similar claims but none have ever actually backed it up. Most were nympho's or the type who read dime store romance novels and/or watched daytime Soaps. Their own lives were always very shallow and most had a deep hatred for men and used this as a way to degrade men. Much like the "feminists" of the past did. A large % of them were actually men hating lesbians, in my experience.

Hmm why is it that inept male lovers ALWAYS roll out the lesbian label when they are the ones having the issue?????

They tend to do that also when you look at them.. or listen to them ofr a few minutes and say thanks.. but no thanks to their advances.

How do you suppose addicts get their necessary large doses of their chosen prescription drug?

It doesn't really matter in the end. He was exposed as a hypocrite and a fraud.

Actually, I think its been proven that pain management is an important part of the healing process, at least when you are dealing with physical injuries. Still, the percentage of people who become addicts as a result of taking pain meds as prescribed for a legitimate injury has to be pretty small.

[billvon 3,132]

>So now he is guilty of this?

Yep. He paid $30,000 and agreed to get treatment for his addiction as part of a plea bargain to avoid a tougher sentence. He is still charged with the crime, but the charge may be dropped in 18 months if he fulfills the condition of the bargain. Unfortunately, one of the legal conditions attached to this plea arrangement was no further abuse of prescription medication (which includes viagra.)

I have heard something along those lines, so I am honestly not sure whether painkillers are considered a medical necessity. But I feel fairly certain that a person could heal from an injury with or without them.

Quote

This is probably true... And perhaps those who do become addicts do so because they discover that the painkillers work for more than just physical pain.(?)

Well, first off, you have convicted him on the viagra thing already so I know you have not seen the lawyers responce or investigated the precident around why/how doctors use the tecnic

second, what would you pay (even if you are inocent) to stop the bleeding?

He's implying that Limbaugh paid the fine and signed the agreement solely for practical reasons.

In other words, he believes Limbaugh has no principles and is willing to sign his name to any falsehood so long as it makes people stop harassing him.

So everyone who has a doctor's prescription for Viagra is a "drug abuser"? Wow.

I think they were referring to the multiple oxycontin prescriptions from various doctors. And someone on probation for prescription drug offenses should know better than to have mislabeled drugs on their person.

First of all, the "again" in the title, above, presupposes that he is actually guilty of this new charge. And that is far from clear. So it's premature, and involves jumping to conclusions without sufficient facts. Tsk tsk.

Second, the drugs weren't mislabled - they had the doctor's name on them, and that's not necessarily illegal. Only time will tell on that with the technical paperwork details.

But I know how liberals love to jump on Republicans, regardless of truth and justice.

Oh by the way, Tom Delay's redistricting of Texas election districts was found legal by the top court today. The liberals have lost yet another round against him, despite pre-judging him before all the facts were in...

News:

Limbaugh's lawyer, Roy Black, said the prescription was written in Limbaugh's doctor's name "for privacy purposes." The radio host was released without being charged...

Mike Edmondson, a spokesman for the state attorney in Palm Beach County, said it's often legal under Florida law for a doc to prescribe medication in a third party's name, if all parties are aware and the medic documents it correctly.

Kendall Coffey, a former U.S. attorney in the Sunshine State, told the AP that this latest case may be dismissed if lawmen can confirm with Limbaugh's doctor that the Viagra was indeed prescribed for the celebrity.

This prescription isn't even in a third party's name - it's in the doctors name - so that charge doesn't even fly on the face of it.

Here's another gun-jumper!

My oh my, there sure are a lot of people willing to jump to conclusions without bothering to wait for the facts to come out.

It hasn't even been suggested that the Viagra prescription constitutes "abuse". The only issue is whether the label is legal. That's a technical issue, not "abuse".

Shame shame.

My 82-year old mom takes a lot of medicines, which vary by the day of the week. She has one of those little plastic pill boxes with seven compartments, so that she can sit down once a week and organize her weekly medications. That means that the pills are no longer in their original containers. So, billvon, do you consider my mom to be a drug abuser because of this?

[billvon 3,132]

> The only issue is whether the label is legal.

Correct. He can prove it is legal by producing a legal prescription for it, in which case the issue goes away.

>So, billvon, do you consider my mom to be a drug abuser because of this?

If your mom was arrested, booked, then worked out a plea deal whereby she would pay a $30,000 fine and get treatment for her drug addiction for an eventual dismissal of charges - yes, I would consider her an addict. (I suspect that's not the case though!)

Thank you for characterizing my dear old mom so kindly. That was very sweet of you.

On the actual question I asked, of whether having pills in a separate box outside the original container constitutes "drug abuse", I'm gonna have to take that as a "no".

You really went way off the deep end there in answering a very straight-forward question. Are you taking lessons from kallend?

Yes, Rush Limpballs is an entertainer. Unfortunately, the trailer-dwelling poor white trash who champion him think he is an authority on everything.

Then why does he bother you so much? I think pretty much the same of Al Franken, but I don't see his name brought up nearly as much as Limbaugh.

Because I used to believe him. At some point I started to question his ideas - One day he was ranting that Tourette's was a made up disease, and just an excuse for children who wanted to swear all the time. Well, that did it for me. From that point on I questioned everything he said, because if he was speaking with such authority on something he was so ignorant of, what other bullshit was coming out of his mouth.

As it turns out, a LOT of bullshit.

Yaaaa, you used to support and like Bush. Now you are saying you used to like and listen to Rush

I was talking about the (non) charge investigation by the county attourney and the Dr shopping charge. Many people pay to stop the bleeding. Tha is all I meant.
