Limbaugh Detained at Airport - with Viagra

Ouch.

According to WaPo, Rush Limbaugh was held for 3 hours on Monday at the Palm Beach airport because security officers found a prescription bottle in his possession containing Viagra that didn't have his name on it.

A doctor had prescribed the drug, but it was "labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes," Roy Black, Limbaugh's attorney, said in a statement.

That may not be a good enough explanation (and is a lame excuse as far as I'm concerned).

Investigators confiscated the drugs, which treats erectile dysfunction, and Limbaugh was released without being charged.

The sheriff's office plans to file a report with the state attorney's office. Miller said it could be a second-degree misdemeanor violation.

It appears this may not be a violation of his plea agreement.

Late nite comics were heard giving a collective "thank you, God" when the story hit the wires.

TalkLeft has an update on the possible consequences for Limbaugh and his doctors.
