I wasn't going to touch on the Rush Limbaugh-Viagra story. Really. I just didn't think it was a big deal…and then the douchebag had to open up his yapper and start joking about it.
On his syndicated radio show Tuesday, Rush spoke about his detainment by customs officials when returning from a two-day jaunt in the Dominican Republic :
Customs officials were incredibly nice to me. They just didn't believe me when I said I got the pills at the Clinton Library.
Give me those ribs…LOL.
Does Rush actually think he has the moral high ground here to diffuse the situation (and yes, detainment by US customs officials is – at best – a "situation") by taking a shot at his favorite target? I know a joke loses its humor when it has to be deconstructed, but what the hell does that line even mean?
"Joking" about what happened in customs only opens up Rush to more criticism about the "get out of jail free card" he received earlier this year, when prosecutors let him off the hook for a painkiller addiction and " illegal deception of multiple doctors to get overlapping painkiller prescriptions". I can believe Limbaugh's lawyer's explanation that the pills had been "labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes." But still, being honest doesn't make your actions legal…or your dumb jokes funny.
Hell, I'd be happy if I never had to think about where Rush stuck his mini-me, or what he has to do to get his member into game shape. And I won't, as some have done, make a bad pun about a "limp" argument (or even "speculate about why Limbaugh might arm himself with a bottle of Viagra for a two-day trip to the Dominican Republic"). Alls I'm saying is this:
When you break a federal law, perhaps it's not best to poke fun at a former President of the United States, who as memory serves, needed no erectile dysfunction aid to get it up for a fatty in a blue dress. Now there was a real man.
