Warrants: Limbaugh Was 'Doctor Shopping'

By JILL BARTON, Associated Press Writer

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Investigators who raided the offices of Rush Limbaugh's doctors said in search warrants filed Thursday that the conservative radio commentator engaged in illegal drug use and "doctor shopping" for prescription painkillers. The warrants — which name four doctors and several prescription drugs — show investigators were looking for medical, insurance and appointment records for Limbaugh, as well as cash receipts and prescription forms, when they raided two offices Nov. 25. No charges have been filed and no arrests have been made.

"Mr. Limbaugh's actions violate the letter, and spirit" of the law that relates to doctor shopping, stated one of warrants, signed by Asim Brown, a law enforcement agent assigned to the state attorney's office anti-money laundering task force. Doctor shopping refers to looking for a doctor willing to prescribe drugs illegally, or getting prescriptions for a single drug from more than one doctor at the same time.

"The prescriptions were issued sometimes in the same week and less than 30 days apart," the warrants said. "Mr. Limbaugh alternated physicians to obtain overlapping prescriptions" and failed to tell each doctor that he was seeing others.

Any of us with balls wouldn't be sitting around working about what ol' Limbaugh has to say.

11. hey - maybe it was that pill shaped mic

that psychologically primed him to love eating pills.

I'd love to see a game of pacman with rush's head gobbling up blue pills...

8. I hope he does time

but I'd rather see him discredited in the eyes of the Republicans. Maybe the cops will find some kiddie porn on him or a body in his backyard.

*sigh*

I can always dream.

9. Good thing he's rich and can afford the best

drug dealer that money can buy.

12. Rush 10 yrs from now = Micheal Jackson today

He'll be a pathetic shadow of his former self, strung out on increasingly destructive controlled substances. His old friends ignore him; his old fans say "What ever happened to? . . . oh, oh yea." Even his one-time detractors feel sympathy and think "Well, he was a jerk, but what a damn shame."
