| Limbaugh Will Not Be Charged For Viagra Possession
Prosecutors announced Wednesday that they will not charge conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh with possession of Viagra without a prescription. Limbaugh was found carrying the drug in his luggage at Palm Beach International Airport on June 26 after returning from the Dominican Republic. The Viagra was prescribed for someone else.
Had Limbaugh faced charges, it could have jeopardized the deal his lawyers made with prosecutors in his earlier case. Limbaugh pled guilty to 'doctor shopping' after admitting he was addicted to prescription painkillers. Limbaugh was charged with lying to doctors to obtain extra painkilling medication to feed his addiction.
The Florida State Attorney's office agreed to drop the charges when Limbaugh's doctor, Steve Strumwasser, said that his name was placed on the bottle to help Limbaugh avoid the embarrassment associated with taking erectile dysfunction medication.

His life then included a lot of problems: heroin and cocaine addictions, a shoplifting conviction, lapses and relapses. After years of struggle, Washington has taken responsibility. He is off drugs. He has gone through job training. He has found a job. But he can't control some things, such as when his Katrina-related benefits will run out. So once the sun has risen and the office is open, he drives to another side of town to ask the lady behind the glass about his food-stamp benefits. He fears losing the help to buy food or pay for a place to live. "It's not as easy as they think," he said. "They're like, 'Oh, but we're giving y'all free rent,' and I'm like, 'Yeah, but with all the stress.' "Every three months, (FEMA is) sending us a letter saying this thing is about to be up.
