Does this mean he will do hard time? Or that he already has.
BadaBing.
That a half-smoked Marlboro in your pocket, Rush, or are you slightly glad to see me?
SssssCrash.
But seriously, Rush, the Domninican Republic is the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. It is overpopulated, mired in poverty, and ecologically blighted. The golf courses suck.
You can afford any resort or vacation destination in the world. Why the Dominican Republic?
For two days.
With a lot of Viagra.
If you know.
Posted by Repack Rider at June 26, 2006 11:25 PMCome on, do you think any woman would go within 10 feet of Limburger the Cheese? They would have to be horribly drunk or stoned (or dAnn Coulter), and Rush would probably be radiating Viagra blue from his skin. The entire scene is obscene. Sorry, bad pun, too much Oxy for one night.
I wonder if KKK and Rush have, you know, shared pizza? Inquiring minds wish for a lobotomy!
Posted by tempus at June 27, 2006 12:24 AMHe was probably down there for one of those pedophile sex tourist things, where they line up the little kids and make them do tricks with pingpong balls and pineapples.
Will this break his parole? I doubt it, as much as I wish it would. Doctors can hand out prescription medicine as they see fit. The fact that the name on the bottle was the name of the doctor probably has no bearing on this. But we'll see.
Posted by Dumbo at June 27, 2006 03:18 AMWho was the woman at CNN that fell out with Rush? I wonder if SHE gets to report on this today?
Posted by suds at June 27, 2006 03:48 AMMy sense is that a June visit to the DR, when normal tourism is dead, implies consorting with the prostitutes there. Didn't Bush go the UN and inveigh against just this thing? Haven't certain operators of these tours been prosecuted?
Posted by bob h at June 27, 2006 04:19 AMDidn't this guy used to brag that he could be trusted overnight in a hotel room with teenage girls? Hmmmm.
Posted by herbal tee at June 27, 2006 04:26 AMThe two wingnuts in the next cubicle at work, aka the Freeper Cave, are a bottomless font of incessant, inane, gibbering, crypto-fascist blather. Daily milestones include Paul Harvey and Rushbo followed by running chit-chat commentary on the liberal demons undermining Owuer Leeder's glorious crusade in the land of the two rivers or whatever other nefarious antics of his are currently newsworthy.
Can't wait to see what their take is on Rushbo's latest brush with the War on Drugs. If power is the ultimate aphrodisiac, is Daryn Kagin's libido atrophied to the size of Total Dick Cheney's heart? I'm starting to love work again.

Posted by Christopher at June 27, 2006 05:05 AMSomeone should call his show and ask why a unmarried man needs viagra anyway. I'm sure all the Christian right-winger wackjobs would like to know.
Posted by Siberian at June 27, 2006 05:23 AM...ask why a unmarried man needs viagra...
Come on!
Give Rush due credit.
He's not just unmarried.
He's THREE TIMES unmarried.
Posted by snark at June 27, 2006 05:30 AMHe's THREE TIMES unmarried.
And rumored to be gay but, for business reasons, must appear to be a big, ole' het, which he ain't.
Posted by Christopher at June 27, 2006 05:38 AMWhile we're all making snide jokes about his trip to the Dominican Republic, but the truth is that it is the sex-vacation capital of the planet. There's really little other reason to go there. The drug thing isn't the story, it's his hypocrisy.
In this case, because of the nature of his own rhetoric, I think his character is fair game - not just for jokes, but for more evidence of the moral corruption of the hypermoral Right. In the tradition of Jimmy Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart, etc. They sure didn't laugh off President Clinton's sexcapades...
Posted by Mickey at June 27, 2006 05:41 AMInteresting point about DR, mickey.
With so much press interest in Dem-sex, fairness would seem to imply an intrepid investigation into Rush's little vacation, no? It seems to have all the "earmarks" of hot, hot news!
Or, according to the corporate media, are the citizens only interested in the sexcapades and "values" hypocrisy of Dems?
Posted by euzoius at June 27, 2006 05:59 AMIsn't this a parole violation?
Posted by goose1 at June 27, 2006 06:15 AMI hate to distract from the Rush love fest but...
...this God damn flag burning amendment bullshit has really got me pissed off. How could this crap even be anywhere close to getting the 2/3's support it needs to send it to the states?
God as my witness if this gets ratified I'll go to Washington D.C. personally and burn a flag in front of the Capital just because the fuckers have told me I can't.
Posted by snark at June 27, 2006 06:20 AMI would need Viagra to nail CNN's Daryn Kagen.
And a blind fold.

Snark, that will probably get you a year at Gitmo.
Posted by Judith at June 27, 2006 07:12 AMIsn't Florida a "three strikes" state?
He's clearly putting ca$h in someone's pocket to keep walking.
As one of my readers pointed out, if his name were Sanchez or Guavara, Limbaugh would be in prison.
Posted by Christopher at June 27, 2006 07:21 AMSeems China feels compelled to keep pace with the Bush administration in the field of media censorship.
Hope Georgie doesn't get any ideas or we may not even get to hear about the next Katrina.
I wonder if the Chinese government is going to call the Times' story 'dispicable'?
Posted by snark at June 27, 2006 07:30 AMI thought Thailand was the sex tourism capital of the planet?
Posted by at June 27, 2006 07:40 AMSend this quiz to any anti-immigrant wingnuts you know.
How did you do?
Posted by snark at June 27, 2006 07:46 AMSnark,
I got 90%. I got mixed up on the amendments.
100% gee it's been forty years since my last civics quiz (who says beer kills brain cells ? )
Posted by mark miller at June 27, 2006 08:39 AMWere Ann Coulter and Jeff Gannon in the Dominican Republic while Rush was there?
Posted by JohnT at June 27, 2006 08:43 AMInteresting possibility:
According to a comment at Americablog there is a large does form of OxyContin that comes in a blue pill.
and yes, either way this violates his pre-trial Diversion agreement.
For the most part, I could care less, but I find it oooh so amusing considering His stances on pre-marital sex and drug abuse. Laws, apparently are simply to keep the little people in line, eh?
Posted by Simp at June 27, 2006 09:31 AMIt'll never stand up in court.
Posted by john fletcher at June 27, 2006 09:43 AMI believe Rush signed a 'signing statement' shortly after accepting his plea deal....or so I've heard.
Posted by snark at June 27, 2006 09:48 AMSomeone should call his show and ask why a unmarried man needs viagra anyway.
Knots in trees are hard to fuck. Particularly if they know it's Rush trying to do it.
Posted by tempus at June 27, 2006 10:25 AMIt'll never stand up in court.
Not if they really confiscated his stash it won't!
Posted by snark at June 27, 2006 10:44 AMKnots in trees are hard to fuck. Particularly if they know it's Rush trying to do it.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Posted by Christopher at June 27, 2006 11:17 AMWithout his blue pills, apparently it WON'T stand up in court!
But seriously folks, why wouldn't this be a violation of RL's plea agreement? I mean, other than that he's a white millionaire.
[BTW, 100% on the quiz! Woohoo....]
Posted by bartcopfan at June 27, 2006 02:52 PMWell, now I see snark's comment making mine redundant. Oh, well....
My question stands on its own, though.
Posted by bartcopfan at June 27, 2006 02:57 PMwell, one thing's for sure--he's not going down without a fight;>
Posted by DW at June 27, 2006 03:17 PM"What's Up, Rush?"
Obviously nothing.
Posted by Judith at June 27, 2006 05:09 PMI aced the quiz as well btw. ;)
Posted by snark at June 27, 2006 06:47 PMI believe it is lawful for a licensed MD to have a prescription filled in his name and give that medication to his patient. As long the physician who's name is on the pill bottle that was confiscated verifies that indeed he gave the medication to RL, no laws were broken and therefore, no parole violation occurred.
Posted by brisa at June 27, 2006 07:36 PMDo you know what all the terms of his plea deal were?
Posted by snark at June 27, 2006 07:41 PMthis God damn flag burning amendment bullshit
I actually want this amendment. Next time it rains I'm taking my seven iron and rescuing the flags in the windows of the SUK-Vs around town. We must not desecrate the flag, you know.
...ask why a unmarried man needs viagra...
Generally, you take it wth you so the other guy can keep it up enough to satisfy you. I bet that was a hell of an ass-hammering he got!
Posted by phidipides at June 28, 2006 10:22 AMJust read on a blog that this time of year, it's very hot and humid in Domican Republic...Viagra is sold there over the counter. A rich white man would only go for the sex trade, which is very sad to me.
