Limbaugh's Viagra Fall?

Despite its advertised benefits, Viagra isn't doing Rush Limbaugh any favors.
The radio pundit, currently serving 18 months of court supervion in his healdine-making prescription fraud case, was detained Monday at Palm Beach International Airport Monday after officials found a bottle of the little blue pills in Limbaugh's luggage with someone else's name on the label.
Florida airport authorities held the conservative blabber for more than three hours. Limbaugh was returning to the country on a private plane from a vacation in the Dominican Republic.
According to the talk show host's attorney, Roy Black, Limbaugh was not reverting back to his fraudulent ways, and claimed the incident instead was a misunderstanding.
Black said the erectile dysfunction-treating pills had been prescribed to Limbaugh from his physician, but were "labeled as being issued to the physician rather than Mr. Limbaugh for privacy purposes."
That plan worked out so well it fooled the authorities.
Anyhow, according to Black, the Viagra was obtained legally--which considering his client's past isn't always a given--and the 55-year-old held a valid prescription for it, despite the mislabeled vial.
Regardless, Customs officials proceeded to spoil not just Limbaugh's morning, but his evening as well, confiscating the pills and releasing the radio personality without charge.
But that doesn't mean he's off the hook just yet.
Paul Miller, a spokesman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff, said that Limbaugh's latest medicinal faux pas could constitute a second-degree misdemeanor.
In April, Limbaugh was arrested for prescription drug fraud in Palm Beach, turning himself in after a warrant was issued in his name. The conservative pundit was accused of "doctor shopping"--concealing information from several doctors in order to obtain multiple painkiller prescriptions.
The arrest came three years after Florida authorities seized Limbaugh's medical records after learning that the professional chatterbox had purchased roughly 2,000 pills as prescribed by four different doctors within a six-month period. Limbaugh has waged a very public battle with an addiction to the painkiller OxyContin, including multiple stints in rehab.
To settle all the charges, Limbaugh agreed to pony up $30,000 to the state to offset the cost of his investigation and spend 18 months under the court's supervision, in which he was ordered to seek counseling and stay out of trouble.
Monday's airport rendezvous likely did little to help his cause.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's office is expected to turn the case over to the state attorney following a further investigation.
Limbaugh, meanwhile, joked about the arrest on his radio show Tuesday. He told listeners he got the pills from the Clinton library, saying he was told they were blue M&Ms.
