David Limbaugh mourns his bro on the 5th anniversary of his death. Twitterverse checks him





Sorry for your loss. Rush Limbaugh was a terrible person. I witnessed family members getting whipped up by his extremist and hateful rhetoric. He fed their hunger for outrage and victimization. He brought racism and crude insults out of the shadows and made this talk acceptable.

-----

his death was the gift. it stopped him for continuing to hurt people.

good riddance.

CelebrityRush Limbaugh's Dominican Stag Party

29 Viagra pills, two "24" producers among radio star's all-male crew


The Smoking Gun, July 6, 2006

JULY 6--Rush Limbaugh was traveling with four other men--including the producers of the hit show "24"--when he was detained over a mislabeled bottle of Viagra found in his luggage during a Customs search, records show.

A Department of Homeland Security passenger manifest shows that Limbaugh and his four buddies flew from the Dominican Republic on a Gulfstream IV jet owned by Premiere Radio Networks, which syndicates his radio program.

Limbaugh returned to Palm Beach, Florida on June 26 with Joel Surnow, "24"'s co-creator and executive producer and Howard Gordon, another of the Fox hit's executive producers (Hollywood agent Jeffrey Benson was also part of the Limbaugh quintet).

With all those guys in tow, it is unclear what the radio host needed with the 29 100mg Viagra pills listed on a seized property receipt.

The passenger manifest was among several documents released today by the Palm Beach County State's Attorney in response to a TSG open records request. Included in the material released was a copy of the handwritten statement Limbaugh provided investigators after he was detained upon the discovery of the impotency drug.

In that statement, Limbaugh claimed that the drug had been prescribed in his doctor’s name “to protect my privacy, given the potential embarrassing nature of Viagra.”

An affidavit sworn three days later by Limbaugh was also released. In that document, Limbaugh explains that the Viagra "was intended for my exclusive use" and that the drug had been prescribed in the name of his drug treatment doctor, Steven Strumwasser. (4 pages)

I guess 4 years ago he could.

Especially if it's a relative.

Gloss over the negatives, accentuate their achievements. Speak no evil of the dead, etc.

But in the case of Rush, that requires a big distortion of reality.
Most can't do it. Nor should they.

thus sealing blowhard's fate? I thought I heard this was the case.

My R--- story: Many decades ago I was driving between home and college. Central PA in the early 90s had really poor car radio reception. Wandered over to the AM airwaves and nearly all channels were his afternoon program. He came out of commercial break wailing against a local program director who had bad mouthed him. And like he always did to anyone who talked negatively about him and worked on one of his syndicated programs he named them on air and what station they worked for so his (was it) ditto heads could harass the hell out of them or get them fired. The person he named had the same last name and worked on Guam. Probably a distant cousin of mine. Promptly changed the station. What a d-ck he was.
