http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/123523p-110915c.htmlPurported pill-popping pundit Rush Limbaugh returned to the airwaves yesterday with a message for his loyal listeners: "Just trust me on this."
Limbaugh did not deny that Florida police were investigating whether he bought thousands of black-market painkillers.
"It really is an emerging situation," Limbaugh said on his syndicated radio talk show. "When I get all the facts, rest assured I will discuss it with you."
The roaring right-winger - who regularly ripped into former President Bill Clinton for parsing his words - took a Clintonesque approach to reports that he illegally bought massive amounts of OxyContin, Lorcet and hydrocodone tablets.
"I'm not even going to characterize this on how you should look at this in the press," said Limbaugh, who said he got more than 35,000 supportive E-mails. "I'm going to come clean when I get all the facts and details."
