Limbaugh Caller Brings up Rush Exchanging "Shoe Boxes of Cash for Narcotics"

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/11/20/1257107/-Limbaugh-Caller-Brings-up-Rush-Exchanging-Shoe-Boxes-of-Cash-for-Narcotics

Caller: You're a little self deprecating. There's no doubt you should get a Presidential Medal of Freedom. First of all, back in the 90s you were invited to honorary chair or gavel or something like that of the House of Representatives.

Rush: That's right, I was named an honorary member of the freshman class of 1994.

Caller: And then just recently you had a statue of yourself dedicated at the Missouri House of legislature, whatever it is there.

Rush: That's a bust of me in the Hall of Famous Missourians at the State House in Jefferson City, Missouri. Which, by the way, the left is still trying to get removed.

Caller: Well, what I'm thinking is, that, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, came after you exchanged shoe boxes of cash for narcotics in Florida--something that most people go to jail for decades for mandatory minimums. They gave you a statue. I mean, you imported drugs into America with the Viagra deal down in Florida. And they still gave you a statue.

And of course his dittoheads believed his denial unquestioningly. But it gave the rest of us a laugh.

he's a serial political prankster (he got Gov Walker to think he was talking to a Koch brother)

censors to drop their guard with all the lavish praise at the beginning of the call. Probably figured he was a fan and turned away from the mute button, is my best guess.

Righties are easily fooled.

And OxyRush WAS indeed a drug dealer because of the large quantities he purchased.

But he didn't do any time because Jeb BUSH was the governor of Florida.

...indicates a much, much bigger story and a far more sickening one when you stop and think about how desperate the folks in the Dominican Republic are.

The Viagra was a prescription a doctor gave him under a different name. That is what got him into trouble when he flew back into PBIA.

...by appealing to Limbaugh's monumental ego.

A sure way to get him to let down his defenses.





Limbaugh's EGO is his Achille's heel.


Let's remember that.
