Appaloosa,

ok start the clock until fuck up time! let's see if his ass can do it! the pressure alone may drive him to become an alcoholic while craving a painkiller! I wouldn't be so hard on him if he wasn't such a hypocrite.

and to make it interesting..."I have unused hydrocodone sitting right here Rushie bay-bee! never opened, never used!" (shit, my doctor KNOWS I hate pills! give me a joint instead! as much as doctor visits costs!) I'll be on a corner near you, Rushie!

[Font size=2 face=v color=Blue]Random drug tests, no guns for Limbaugh
Details emerge of commentator's deal with prosecutors

Monday, May 1, 2006; Posted: 2:46 p.m. EDT (18:46 GMT)

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Rush Limbaugh must pass random drug tests for the next 18 months to satisfy an agreement filed Monday that will lead to dismissal of a prescription fraud charge if he stays out of trouble.

The conservative commentator also must continue treatment for his addiction and cannot own a gun, according to details of the deal made public Monday. And the agreement says he "will refrain from any violation of any law."

The agreement does not call for Limbaugh to admit guilt to the charge that he fraudulently concealed information to obtain prescription drugs.

Limbaugh was accused of seeking a prescription from a physician in 2003 without revealing that he already had received medications from another practitioner within 30 days.

Limbaugh was booked Friday and pleaded not guilty.

The deal concludes a lengthy investigation into allegations that Limbaugh "doctor shopped" to obtain prescription painkillers. He admitted his addiction to painkillers in October 2003.

Limbaugh attorney Roy Black said, "Mr. Limbaugh and I have maintained from the start that there was no doctor shopping, and we continue to hold this position."

Limbaugh agreed to repay the state of Florida $30,000 to cover the cost of the investigation, Black said.

The radio talk-show host turned himself in Friday to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office and was released on bond, according to a sheriff's spokesman.

Black urged reporters not to call it an arrest since Limbaugh surrendered and was never handcuffed, but a sheriff's spokesman said technically he was under arrest during his booking.

Under an agreement with the Palm Beach County state attorney, the single charge will be held in abeyance for 18 months and then dropped after Limbaugh completes his treatment, Black said.

"As a primary condition of the dismissal, Mr. Limbaugh must continue to seek treatment from the doctor he has seen for the past 2 1/2 years," Black said. "This is the same doctor under whose care Mr. Limbaugh has remained free of his addiction without relapse."

After seizing his medical records, authorities learned Limbaugh received up to 2,000 painkillers, prescribed by four doctors in six months, The Associated Press reported.

However, the single charge only alleges that Limbaugh illegally obtained about 40 pills, Mike Edmondson, a state attorney's spokesman, told the AP. He would not elaborate or explain why prosecutors scaled back the case.

In a statement last year, Limbaugh's attorney said prescription records would show that the radio host was only prescribed an average dose of a little more than eight hydrocodone pills a day over a seven-month period, "which is not excessive and is in fact a lawful dose."

Hydrocodone is a potent painkiller that can become addictive.

Black said 92 percent of the pain medication was prescribed by two doctors treating Limbaugh for back pain, who both work in the same office.

The rest were prescribed by a California surgeon who performed cochlear implant surgery to restore Limbaugh's hearing and a Florida doctor who followed up on the surgery, Black said. The latter physician also wrote prescriptions for vitamin pills and a medication to combat ringing in the ears, he said.[/font]
