Rush's Viagra Bust

Rush Limbaugh, as you all know, got busted last week for carrying a prescription for (snort) Viagra (snort) that wasn't in his name. What it looks like to me is Mack-Daddy Rush trying to get his groove back while he was kickin' it in the Caribbean. However --- and not surprisingly --- it just so happens that all is kosher here:
The state attorney's office said the medication was prescribed by Limbaugh's cardiologist, Dr. Steven Schnur, to Limbaugh's psychologist and addiction counselor, Steve Strumwasser. Strumwasser then provided the Viagra to Limbaugh, said state attorney spokesman Mike Edmondson.

Strumwasser told authorities he "agreed to have his name on the label in an effort to avoid potentially embarrassing publicity for the suspect," according to the state attorney's office filing. "Thus, the medication contained in the subject pill bottle was legitimately prescribed to the suspect by his physician."

It is generally not illegal under Florida law for a physician to prescribe medication in a third party's name if all parties are aware and the doctor documents it correctly, Edmondson said.
Just like, see Ossifer, that isn't my marijuana in my purse, I was just holding it for a friend. It's like that scene from the first Austin Powers in which Austin disavows the penis pump. Yeah, riiiight, I believe you.

I can't stand liars. C'mon, Rush, admit it --- poppin' pills IS your bag, baby. The sooner you own it, the sooner we can stop reading about your dumb-ass antics.

The punch line is, Strumwasser agreed to putting his name on the bottle to spare Rush the embarassment from the fact that he needs Viagra. But I think what they did was even worse!

Imbeciles, all of them.
