Cigar-smoking right-wing nutjob Rush Limbaugh, the former Oxycontin addict, has been arrested in West Palm Beach, Florida for prescription drug fraud. According to the AP, authorities discovered he'd gotten 2,000 painkillers in 6 months, prescribed by 4 doctors. That is, by our count, more than 10 pills per day. Limbaugh was released on $3,000 bail — how much Oxycontin would that buy?
Also out on bail: USC freshman quarterback Mark Sanchez had to cough up $200,000 yesterday and then headed to his family's home in the O.C. The football player, who has been temporarily suspended from the team, was arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting a female student.
Across town, an autopsy is pending for Julien D'Avanzo, the UCLA student who died Thursday after falling from a 3rd-floor balcony. Although police haven't said that there was drinking involved, the Daily Bruin says that the 20-year-old, who was an RA and Sigma Pi member, was horsing around after a party.

Not to be a Rush apologist...but Rush wasn't "busted again." He was formally arrested and charged today for the allegations of fraud that first surfaced a couple of years ago. Rush has claimed to be clean of oxycontin since a stint in rehab more than a year ago. I know he's an easy target, but you should get your facts straight before shooting off at the typewriter!
Opioid Medications can be some of the most helpful medications out there, however they can cause addiction of the worst kind, the morphinian addiction. By Far the worst obsession out there.
Jason, the original AP report (that we link to) had no information about the timeframe in which he allegedly doctor-shopped, although it now appears that it came from the investigation of his previous bust.
Back then, before he made OxyContin famous, Rush regularly told listeners that drug users should be jailed.
RUSH WINS BIG!
Face saving gesture for the Prosecutor.
Think about all the unjustified waste of money going after Rush. I imagine $30,000 is probably just part of the piddle.
