97 pills per day for Rush ...... No wonder he was going deaf

[Botany]

"Wilma Cline told The National Enquirer that she began funneling to Limbaugh some of her husband's hydrocodone supply, prescribed after David Cline fell when a pull-down ladder snapped apart, injuring his neck, knees and hand in March 1988. After those prescriptions dried up, Wilma Cline found another drug source for Limbaugh, she told the tabloid, getting him at one point 11,900 pills in a four month period in 2001."

so 4 months = 122 days (31+30+31+30)

11,900/122 =97.5409 pills per day.

BTW Basically Rush got 18 months "probation" and a $30,000 fine.

1. he was trafficking opiates.

this is obscene.

[Lib Grrrrl]

6. I Wish They Could Prove That

put his ass away for a LONG time!! Serve the fat fuck right!

[CrazyOrangeCat]

13. yes.

I hate that fat fucker more than all the rest put together. He's made my skin crawl for sixteen years.

I could count the ways . . . but it is way past being a rational thing with me.

(CrazyCat grinds his sharp, pointy teeth . . .)

:argh:

[Dr.Phool]

17. HUH?

[Dr.Phool]

15. Huh?

[CrazyOrangeCat]

25. turn up yer Miracle Ear, Rush!

:spank:

[rucky]

30. Absolutely. he would be dead if he took that many pills.

I don't care what your body weight is, 97 Oxycontins a day would kill an elephant.

[junkiebrewster]

36. see post 35...n/t

[KitchenWitch]

2. Jeebus

I am surprised he did not die of liver failure.

[Dr.Phool]

18. HUH?

[CrazyOrangeCat]

26. I keep tellin' ya, Rushy-boy . . .

. . . use yer g-d ear-horn!!!

[bluerum]

3. Yeah - like he wasn't selling them. What a POS. nt

[Dr.Phool]

19. HUH?

[bluerum]

32. I contend Limpboy was selling or at least distributing some of this

medication. No one can take 97 pills a day and live much less stand up, get dressed and go to work every day. If you survived, you would be comatose after about 3 days.

I am talking about the limpboy.

on edt: clarification

[junkiebrewster]

35. Tolerence

Back when I was on heroin, I saw people use enough dope to fell a large horse.

Your body's tolerence to opiates increases rather quickly once you're hooked on them.

I would imagine Rush's tolerence was pretty high, considering he had no problem funding his habit.

[JVS]

38. He could have been stocking up for later

Sometimes people don't feel comfortable unless they know they have enough for the future

[SPKrazy]

4. Too Bad The Fucker Didn't Chew Them Up

He'd be 6 feet under right now.

I believe he must have been trafficking them for his friends.

97 pills a day? That's a lot for even fat boy

[Dr.Phool]

21. HUH?

[SPKrazy]

24. Oxycontin Is Time Released

If you crush it and eat it, or chew it, you get the effect of the time release all at once.

It is deadly that way.

Of course if he were actually taking 97 pills a day, that would probably be deadly too.

So we know he has to have been getting them for someone besides himself.

[Gregorian]

28. Maybe he stores them up his ass like a squirrel does for winter.

Haha. I have to laugh. It's so utterly pathetic and disgusting that so many people languish in jail while this most awful of all human beings gets off.

Well, I don't think his troubles are over. In fact, I don't think they've even begun yet. We'll see...

Packrat Rush.

[bluerum]

33. MUST have been distributing. How can any prosecutor/judge think

otherwise.

He bought them all off.

Rotten fat festering pussbag POS.

[jerry611]

5. Hearing is the least of his problems...

Those pain pills taken for long term or very high doses tear up the liver and cause stomach ulcers.

[Botany]

8. and to put it "delicately" your g.i. tract doesn't move food towards ...

.... the exit in a healthy manner too.

100 pills a day he would be dead by now. Somebody else was getting high with Rush.
Any bets on boyfriends?

[Erika]

11. You are right

He would be dead if he took all the pills it is proven he obtained. What did he do with them and why is Florida shielding him?

[rasputin1952]

16. Maybe that is why he spouts all of that crap out of his mouth...

stuff's gotta go somewhere...:evilgrin:

[Dr.Phool]

22. HUH?

[Dr.Phool]

23. Say What?

HUH?

[originalpckelly]

7. 99 bottles of pills on the wall...

99 bottles of pills, take one down, pass out on ground, 98 bottles of pill on the wall...

I know it was pills per day, but bottles makes more sense. :think:

[Erika]

9. He's a druggie with big social/emotional problems

His illegal drug usage, his multiple marriages, his anger problems all point to a dysfunctional being. But he's got his dittoheads who support him enough to give him a very lavish living style. He saw them coming and he claimed them as his own.

[demobabe]

10. He couldn't have possibly taken all of those

He would have died from Aceteminophen poisoning - liver would have swelled up and crawled out of his body. Makes you wonder what he was doing with them... extracting the hydrocodone from them?

[pitohui]

12. he cut a deal and he walked

they even gave him time to get his hair styled for the mug shot

it's disgusting

[benburch]

14. No way that was personal use.

That is intent to distribute quantities.

[CrazyOrangeCat]

20. He's yukkin' it up tonite.

30 grand is pocket change to that mofo.

[rasputin1952]

27. The initial story had his housekeeper taking cigar boxes filled

with cash to the pharmacists, and returning with bags of thousands of pills. Now the housekeeper has gone South, (with some cash I would suppose).

Point is, i don't care where you are from in this country, buying narcotics for cash without proper documentation is not just against state law, but federal law as well. The pharmacists were charged, and that is the link to Limbaugh. Why wasn't this pursued?

Dr. shopping is one minor part of this whole fiasco...there should be a federal investigation and charges filed for trafficking. Anyone of lesser means would never see daylight again. There are people in prison for having a minuscule amount of marijuana; one guy in TX is doing life for a roach...I kid you not!

But Limbaugh can walk when anyone else would be crucified. So much for "justice"...x(

[newsguyatl]

29. rush won't be here with us much longer

... by the looks of that mug shot.

he's aged, gained even more weight, and looks unusually unhealthy.

[pitohui]

31. he looks like any other fat man his age

unfortunately the sad reality is that he got away w. it and he'll be around to torment us indefinitely

only the good die young

[grunion]

37. Only the good die young?

What kind of claptrap is that? Tell it to JFK, Bobby, Kathleen, Joe Jr. etc.

[WindRavenX]

34. 97 pills a day

It is physiologically impossible for anyone to consume that much a day and live.

Anyone with a fucking brain cell can conclude he was selling.

[marano35]

39. I used to be a Narcotics officer...

and if that is true, it has distribution written all over it. No one person can consume that many pills and in that time frame and live. What kills me is he is so fucking stupid. Their are so many doctors on the take from the Pharmaceutical companies that they are giving out scripts like candy.
