Rush Limbaugh caught with Viagra prescribed to someone else
Associated Press

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Investigators were trying to determine Tuesday whether Rush Limbaugh violated a deal with prosecutors in a long-running prescription fraud case when authorities found he had a bottle of Viagra that was apparently prescribed to someone else.

Limbaugh, 55, was detained for more than three hours Monday at Palm Beach International Airport after he returned on his private plane from a vacation in the Dominican Republic. Customs officials found Viagra in his bag, but his name wasn't on the prescription, Palm Beach County sheriff's spokesman Paul Miller said.

Limbaugh's lawyer, Roy Black, said the prescription was written in Limbaugh's doctor's name "for privacy purposes." The conservative radio host was released without being charged and investigators confiscated the Viagra, which treats erectile dysfunction.

Limbaugh joked about the search on his radio show Tuesday, saying Customs officials didn't believe him when he said he got the pills at the Clinton Library and he was told they were blue M&Ms. He later added, chuckling: "I had a great time in the Dominican Republic. Wish I could tell you about it."

Do you think that America has been intruding in buisiness activities, even since FDR was president? What do you think of what is happening?

Its my belief that America being one of the youngest countries in the history of the world has not yet earned the right to turn its back on immigration, illegal or not. It hasnt been that long since this nation was created, and it was created trough stealing, lies, deceit, and murder. murrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr!!!

America is not the exclusive domain of one people, it is the refugee camp of the world, why should it change now? just because your ancestors were lucky why not everyone else.

Milton Egbert is a pround American, but not yet deserving of taking a stance on illegal immigration, because this was never my ancestors land, and they murdered innocent people and stole their land, not that long ago!!!!!!!!!

The game America's Army, which was developed by the U.S. government, cost many millions of taxpayers' money to make. The government claims that it is a good recruiting tool for young Americans who might be intrigued by the cool combat that the game portrays war to be. Proponents also claim that the game provides combat training for soldiers. I've played the game, and I think it's fun, but I don't think it's an appropriate use of taxpayer money. You could even contend that this game is a sort of propaganda. In the game, the player is forced to go through army training (this training is relatively easy, especially when compared to the real thing); when that is complete, he/she can play online in the team-based game as U.S. soldiers battling terrorist enemies. The game is basically like Counterstrike. After dying, the players simply respawn and battle again to try to stop other players all over the world on the other team from completing their objective.

Israel has over 10,000 Palestinian hostages, hundreds of them children, and slaughters Palestinians of any age on a daily basis. When Palestinians take 2 Israeli hostages and kill two soldiers, Israeli bombs Gaza. Bombs out the power stations, the water reticulation; no electricity, no water, bridges blasted severing cities from each other. Gaza Strip, the most densely populated area on earth on account of Israel using it as a specially designed human garbage can where refugees are disposed off and hermetically sealed off from the rest of the world.. Brilliant, but unsuccessful. If you treat humans as garbage and they know that they are humans and not garbage, they will not quietly disappear. The racist Zionists will never sleep safe at night. You will never have the right to sleep safe at night. May you never sleep safe at night.

Why when the United States goes to war, we always invade other countries. Yet other countries never come to our land to fight? I'm not saying I want this to happen, but I'm just curious. Another army can easily just come over here and take over like we do.

Politicians are defeating the people of this country (both republican and democrat) by dividing us through "value" issues. Instead of working together to make sure our gov't does the right thing, we are fighting each other. We are divided on everything.

Question 1: Will the American people wake up from this and begin to question our leaders and our media?

Question 2: What will the major consequences of this divide be in 10 years? Could it lead to civil war, secession of certain states from the union (if that's even possible), or a breakdown in intelligence that results in nuclear, biological, chemical or other terrorist attacks IN the US?

The Bush administration has military plans drawn up in anticipation of having to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities.
Conservatives are arguing that America’s position in Iraq would improve if Iran chose to retaliate there, because Iranian interference would divide the Shiites into pro- and anti-Iranian camps, and unify the Kurds and the Sunnis. The Iran hawks in the White House and the State Department, including Elliott Abrams and Michael Doran, also have an answer for those who believe that the bombing of Iran would put American soldiers in Iraq at risk: “Yes, there will be Americans under attack, but they are under attack anyway.”
