A red herring? Meant to distract the inspectors while he sneaked other things through?

3. Must we discuss this news item so early in the day?
How is a person supposed to function after getting the image of Rush, Viagra and the ensuing . . . ahem . . . "effect" . . . into their head?

10. "Unlabeled drugs, Viagra among them"
was the phrasing in the local CBS station's online article. That means Viagra was the first one they identified, a fairly obvious drug from the size, shape, and color of tablet. There were other pills.

That he was using Viagra on a trip to the Dominical Republic should be a red flag to some enterprising reporter. That country is infamous for its sex tourism, especially sex tourism involving children.

Someone with a ticket, fluency in Spanish, and a knack for getting people to open up could probably finish Fatso off pretty quickly and possibly take some other players down with him.

There are two stories here: first, what were those other drugs? and second, who was Fatso using all that Viagra on?

In any case, having ANY unlabeled, unprescribed drug has violated his probation. We know what would happen to any of us under those circumstances.

11. Right; Viagra was the only drug identified
And the easiest one to write off, I suppose.

I'm extremely interested in the amount and type of the other drugs found. This should be a violation of his consent decree, or whatever it was.

12. You wouldn't want a decoy like that, if anything, it attracts attention
and a more thorough search. I tend to suspect that he just thought he could get away with it because he's rich and famous and supports the "correct" political party. Hubris, plain and simple.
