Rush Limbaugh, who once called himself "the most dangerous man in America," nowadays seems mostly a danger to himself.
First there was the 2003 incident on the Walt Disney Co.'s ESPN, where Limbaugh declared that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb enjoyed racial "social concern" from the ostensibly bleeding-heart National Football League.
Then, the radio star was accused of alleged "doctor shopping," supposedly deceiving physicians to get overlapping controlled-substance prescriptions. Limbaugh, 55, denied the charges, but reportedly admitted a painkiller addiction. In a deal reached last month with prosecutors, the "doctor shopping" charge will be dismissed if Limbaugh doesn't get arrested for 18 months.
Here's hoping Oscar Wilde was right when he mused, "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about." Because on Tuesday, Limbaugh--ranked No. 32 on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list--made the news again. And again, it was a pharmaceutical controversy. But this time, the substance in question is not meant to dull and numb. Quite the opposite: it was Pfizer's blockbuster Viagra.
The Associated Press reported that Limbaugh was detained Monday for more than three hours at Palm Beach International Airport, upon returning from some R&R in the Dominican Republic. Customs officials reportedly found a bottle of the erectile-dysfunction drug in his bag--but his name wasn't on the prescription, according to Palm Beach County sheriff's spokesman Paul Miller.
The political shock-jock'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 and investigators confiscated the little blue pills.
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. The sheriff's office is continuing its investigation.
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. Coffey said, "It's perhaps a little embarrassing, but not highly incriminating." Blasted media.
