Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Thrice-divorced, doctor-shopping drug addict Rush Limbaugh, who has made a career assailing the morals of liberals, gets stopped coming back from a solo trip to one of the world's biggest prostitution markets (and a leading provider of child prostitution) with a jar of Viagra that was prescribed in his doctor's name rather than his own. And then goes on the air and jokes about it.
He joked about the search on his radio show Tuesday, saying Customs officials didn't believe him when he said he got the pills at the Clinton Library and he was told they were blue M&Ms. He later added, chuckling: "I had a great time in the Dominican Republic. Wish I could tell you about it."
So tell me, what does it take to become a pariah in the conservative movement? Clearly, being the world's biggest hypocrite doesn't cut it.
TrackBackDead girl or a live boy, apparently.
I remember when Jim Bakker took the stand during his trial in '89 and offered the defense of, basically, "Hell, no, I wasn't running a pyramid scheme -- it was a bait-and-switch operation!"
After the trial, I got at least a dozen letters and postcards from his supporters, all criticizing my reporting and offering that same defense as the "true facts" in the case.

Love the blog.
Shame that the Stevie Wonder video has been taken down by its owner.....it was great!
Posted by: Insider at June 28, 2006 05:05 PMProbably won't be a very big deal, but it IS funny. One would think that such a manly man would't need viagra. Another thought.....for the moral values crowd, what is an unmarried man doing with viagra? What does Dobson and Robertson think?
Poor guy is being singled out again.
Now before you get all carried away, let's remember that Rush has never condemned any liberals for loading up on illegal Viagra while on a nookie quest in the Dominican Republic.
Never. Not once.
So chew on that, Mr. "Rush-is-a-hypocrite"!
