Limbaugh Arrested on Drug Charges

[Decker]

One more heroin-addled scoundrel caught. Let's pray that this snake sheds his skin as a heroin addict and becomes a respectable human being. It's a longshot--once you're on the horse, the H, the smack--it's hard to get off--but worth the effort.

I always thought he was a jerk, a jerk who poisoned the minds of his listeners.

What a fucking idiot, with his money he could afford the real stuff not Hillbilly Heroin, hell move out here I have connections that could keep you hooked up for years and they don't keep your name on any kind of record. Hell if you really need the shit I can find you some oxycodone/contin even MS Contin with no problem I'd even toss in a few tabs of x for sampling. It shows that the man has no street smarts at all yet he can paint broad generalizations of your common criminal all the time. Doctor shopping is a sure fire way to get busted especially if you're going through your insurance company, and I wouldn't put it past him that he was probably forging or changing the quantities on his scripts.

have you ever seen anyone with "severe back pain" not on medication or on so little it does nothing to relieve the pain? my dad nearly died because his kidneys shut down it was poisoning his blood. he was in agony but to him it was normal back pain he was used to living with so he didn't know anything unusual was going on.
i don't condone just shoveling pills into your body but watch someone with that kind of pain try to cope with it n something like this might not seem so bad.

 

[CowPimp]

Doesn't he support increased punishment for drug offenses? If so, I hope he gets the maximum penalty. Hypocritical fuck.

The target is a political figure (and a conservative at that), don't try using logic or understanding.

i'm just sympathetic... after a car accident i had so much back pain it was impossible to think of anything else the pain was so intense it made me nauseous. i was pregnant and couldn't take anything. luckily i healed but it left me with a lot of sympathy for anyone who has to endure that kind of pain.

I've been taking them for the past 4 month's, I just took 3 weeks off after my epidural but now it's wearing off so I had to get a refill. For pain management the same dose works all the time, but if I want to get the euphoric feel good effects I would have to up my dosage. M ydoc gives me 50 pills per script for 15 days. I can't fathom why Rush would need several doctors worth of scripts for just a pain managing dose of pain meds, a habit that bad is proof that he is in it for the euphoria. Especially strong stuff like Oxycodone and Oxycontin, I think I also read where he was getting Vicodin and selling them to buy more Oxycontin.

Or just a guy who was in pain, got addicted, broke the law and is paying the consequences.

well then he was just being stupid. my dad has had a hard time getting pain medications from his dr. the government has threatened to investigate the dr cuz he writes so many perscriptions. nothing like dumb assholes making it harder for legit patients to get what they need.

i used to give this couple that lived near me food all the time cuz they were pretty bad off. then i found out after 6 months n maybe a grand in handouts they were buying oxycontin for $80 a pill.

2 people i know with bad back pain use pot for pain management it works and i think it's insane that they can't do it legally.

Maybe if he lost some weight and did something besides preach from a chair his ass wouldn't be in such pain.

Rush got into pain killers ... Oxycontin ... because he was undergoing a procedure to restore his hearing. An extremely painful procedure and although he did go stone cold deaf he is now sporting implants that have allowed him to hear again (he had to use an intern on his talk show as a set of ears). We've all had an earache. Imagine having one all the time ... for about 16 months straight ... as you go stone cold deaf. It would be sheer anguish and a real mind fuck.

Now consider you were once a fat-assed bastard that worked hard to lose the weight through exorcise and diet. Good healthy livin. You slowly need more and more Oxycontin to reduce that constant ear ache but it is against everything you believe in and live by ... what would you do? GO buy something from the people you been hackin on for like ever ... people like Maniclion? Nah you go doctor shopin (this kind of pain is beyound anyone's ability to cope with) cuz ya know ya got the clout and cash to buy your way outta what ever you get into there, AND you know buyin street drugs is not something you gonna have an easy time with once it hits the news. And it would have hit the news ... no way Manic is gonna sell Rush anything without tellin someone ... you'd a prolly blacked mailed him with hi-def video before ya sold it to CNN (caaachiiiiing!$!$!$!$!).

Last question.
Who here givin the same resources would not have done the same thing? Mind ya he went through personal rehab and got himself straight way before the shit really hit the fans and even made a public apology to his mindless neocon followers as a symbolic gesture of how remorseful he truly was.

Yeah yeah yeah a poor black man woulda been in prison already but hey news flash ... so would of a poor white boy. Nothing new here ... same old shit since long before Jesus walked on water. And besides ... rich black men get away with murder and pedophilia so put the race card back in the deck. This is about power ... the haves and the have no Oxycontin.

I can get any drug I want and I have no interest in being a junkie like Rush. Most people can get drugs and most people chose not to use them....Rush is just a typical drug addict.

Bottom line he is a drug addict and no better than a crack head.....he should go to jail just liker a poor person would

You completly evaded my questions and the entire point of the post. I doubt that if you were in his situation your results would be much different.

 

[maniclion]

Actually Rush was addicted to vicodin before his hearing loss and doctors beleive it was his addiction that lead to his loss of hearing.

And a man like Rush could afford to hire a confidential concierge. I used to deal with them all the time when I rented exotic cars in Honolulu these guys work for people like Tommy Lee, Adam Sandler, Nick Cage, Courtney Love, etc when they come to Hawaii. They can get a celebrity anything hookers, drugs, etc.

 

[maniclion]

In all I hope he has learned his lesson and I hope next time he has legitimate pain he asks the doctor for Tramadol or Talwin since they aren't nearly as addicitve as hydrocodone and oxycodone if at all.

I'm on yourside on this one. Chronic back pain is unbelieveable and a person will do anything to relieve it. Maybe some of these fucking idiots shgould find a good relief for people on such pain without them having to try and bypass the law to be in some comfort.

Let me tell you guys something. I had a brother die of stomach cancer. Here is a guy that wouldn't even take an asprin to relieve a bad headache. But the cancer got so bad it was give me morphine or kill me as i can stand the pain anymore. He passed away at the early age of 44.

 

[The Monkey Man]

I think he's just depressed because his ratings are down!

(doper)

Either way if he had that much pain, with his money...
He could have scored legally..

 

[CowPimp]

Okay, so if Rushy can implement self-diagnosis and treatment, then why is it bad for other people do the same for depression, anxiety, etc?

Uhh fellas he was prescribed the drugs he abused ... he just went on to use the same prescriptions over and over again, while getting the same scripts from several doctors.
