This missed bit from the Hawaii media suggests Limbaugh is back on pain meds.

[yourguide]

From the idiots at BreitBart:

Two years later Limbaugh acknowledged he was addicted to pain medicine. He blamed the addiction on severe back pain, and took a five-week leave from his radio show to enter rehab.


From KITV Hawaii (3rd paragraph down):

http://www.kitv.com/politics/22094469/detail.html

Limbaugh, 58, suffered from chest pains, sources said. Limbaugh was sitting in a chair in his ninth-floor hotel room at the Kahala when emergency crews arrived, sources said. He told medical crews that he was taking medication for a back problem, sources said.

1. I thought maybe he was doubling his Viagra

meds so he could do the nasty with little boys...oh wait, he isn't in DR.

[Ian David]

2. Didn't Limbaugh say that drug addicts should be thrown in jail? n/t

[jefferson_dem]

5. Also said "exercise freaks ... are the ones putting stress on the health care system"

16. ...or executed

Al Franken played a bunch of them one day when he was on Air America. It was one of my favorite Air America moments.

3. Yeah, I noticed that. Some of the stories implied that he may have hurt it

while golfing.

But addicts have to be extremely careful with those pain meds.

6. Not him, he should take them by the handful!!

[izquierdista]

13. On a per weight basis

A handful is probably the proper dosage. You can't pill a hippopotamus like you can pill a cat.

4. Heroin is a hard monkey to vanquish

It is highly likely that he did go back to using narcotics.

[zbdent]

7. Rush Limbaugh claimed that he went off the drugs ... why would we believe that

he would tell the truth about that, or that anybody would actually check to see if the claim is true?

But ... we had the John Edwards stakeout fully staffed ...

[davidpdx]

8. He should be doing pharma med commercials for his shows

Like Beckkk does for gold..wait a second. Beck doesn't eat gold. Oh, hell he just loves money.

[HelenWheels]

9. Hearing loss

Wasn't his hearing loss attributed to the drugs he was addicted to? Now all of a sudden it's due to an "autoimmune disease".

[Cirque du So-What]

10. He's probably just taking ibuprofen for his back pain, right?

:eyes:

[AmandaRuth]

11. actually, I would bet money

it has something to do with his rapid weight loss, which may (imho) have been due to some illegal drugs.

I would totally lay money down on this.

[samplegirl]

12. I doubt that bouncy boy

has ever been truly all the way off of them.

[badgerpup]

14. Why does the word...

..."methadone" keep popping up into my head every time I read about Limbaugh's drug rehabilitation?
:shrug:

[yourguide]

15. Oh and that little bit about the pain meds might also explain this from TMZ

"Sources inside the hotel tell TMZ the hotel took drastic measures to get the mystery patient -- reported to be Rush Limbaugh -- out of the resort without being seen.

We're told hotel security shut down a wing of the hotel and the guest elevators -- the patient was transported using the employee elevator bank."

[Ikonoklast]

17. They were doing the prudent thing..

The hotel didn't want to accidentally expose any of their other guests to a possibly fatal dose of terminal hypocrisy.

[rateyes]

18. If only it was terminal.

:sigh:
