Limbaugh detained for Viagra

What was Rush Limbaugh doing in the Dominican Republic with a bottle of Viagra without a prescription? According to Christian Aid, the "Dominican Republic (DR) has one of the highest numbers in the world of people involved in the sex trade per capita." A 2001 news item from Wired reports that "the Dominican Republic is one of the biggest sex tourism destinations in the world, thanks in part to Internet sites that extol the country as a single man's paradise." Whatcha up to, Rush? Hmmm?

UPDATE: I failed to mention that Limbaugh's spokesman, Roy Black, said the Viagra prescription, which was in the name of two doctors, was "labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes." Ah, privacy purposes while in the Dominican Republic. Wink, wink.

UPDATE 2: Billmon provides updates on Limbaugh's (or is that Limpbaugh's?) Viagra trouble. You've got to click the link to see his hilarious graphic, a Jeff-Jim parody! And you made my day, Billmon, commenting on my post above.
