JULY 6--Rush Limbaugh was traveling with four other men--including the producers of the hit show "24"--when he was detained over a mislabeled bottle of Viagra found in his luggage during a Customs search. A Department of Homeland security passenger manifest shows that Limbaugh and his four buddies flew from the Dominican Republic on a Gulfstream IV jet owned by Premiere Radio Networks, which syndicates his radio program. Limbaugh returned to Palm Beach, Florida on June 26 with Joel Surnow, "24"'s co-creator and executive producer and Howard Gordon, another of the Fox hit's executive producers (Hollywood agent Jeffrey Benson was ... part of the Limbaugh quintet). With all those guys in tow, it is unclear what Limbaugh needed with those 29 100mg Viagra pills. The passenger manifest was among several documents released today by the Palm Beach County State's Attorney in response to a TSG open records request. Included in the material released were a copy of the handwritten statement Limbaugh provided investigators after he was detained upon the discovery of the impotency drug.
There can be little doubt that legal actions against Rush Limbaugh are politically motivated. The radio commentator with 20 million listeners is one of the most able communicators of conservative political ideas in America. It is hard to imagine that the historic Republican takeover of Congress in 1994 would have happened without Mr. Limbaugh articulating the virtues of smaller government day in and day out over the airwaves. It is no surprise that liberals would sink to any level to try to silence such an important conservative voice. But the evidence against Mr. Limbaugh's accusers is not merely circumstantial. The case they have made and how they have made it exposes the whole prosecution as a partisan witchhunt (read Washington Times Editorial)

Rush Limbaugh In July 2000, Limbaugh launched the fledgling Web site bearing Rush Limbaugh's name, which includes brief overviews of the current show along with recent headlines from which Limbaugh drew content for Rush Limbaugh's daily radio program. In the beginning, the Web site was a text commentary and transcript-only Web site that allowed Rush Limbaugh's listeners to review the contents of the day's show from a news-based perspective. By December 2000, major changes to the Web site were made: new downloadable audio-links of daily highlights were available to internet users free of charge. In spring 2001, the Web site had launched a brand-new subscriber based Web site to what would be called "Rush 24/7". Rush 24/7 was now offering the entire, commercial free audio of the daily show available all day via streaming internet audio. The new subscriber Web site came to include Limbaugh editorials, commentaries from previous years, and reruns of Limbaugh's defunct television show. By summer 2002, the hallmark achievement of the Rush 24/7 Web site had been introduced: a live streaming video feed (the "Ditto Cam") of the radio show was made available to Rush 24/7 subscribers.

Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh has said prosecutors, specifically State Attorney Barry Krischer, a Democrat, have set out on a "fishing expedition" against him. On Friday, Limbaugh, who is being investigated for illegal "doctor-shopping," offered up new evidence of unfair treatment. On his syndicated talk show and on his Web site, he referred to the case of a Palm Beach County judge removed from the bench last year after it became public he was addicted to OxyContin. County Judge Robert Schwartz was forced off the bench in February 2003, after a year of being unable to function partly because of his addiction. Schwartz was never investigated criminally, though -- an unfair double standard, Limbaugh's camp said. Chief Judge Edward Fine said Friday that judicial commission members investigated Schwartz's situation, consulted with doctors, and that no allegation of anything criminal ever came to light, so there was no criminal investigation. Schwartz was being treated by a West Palm Beach psychiatrist, Dr. George Kubski.
