Rush Limbaugh’s drug and fine wine lack of restraint in the past has become common knowledge, but not because he decided to be candid and upfront, but that is part of drug addiction. We can all sympathize I’m sure.
In the past:
Law enforcement sources said last week that Limbaugh’s name had come up during an investigation into a black market drug ring in Palm Beach County, Florida. The sources said that authorities were looking into the illegal sale of the prescription drugs OxyContin and hydrocodone.
We’ve just heard from an anonymous source, that Rush Limbaugh is using $20,000 worth of Oxycontin per day while another source claimed his habit is only up to $5,000 a day. This is ironic timing considering he has just claimed President Obama will be spending $200 million per day while visiting India.
He heard this from an anonymous source and we all know they can be trusted, without a doubt.
We find stories based on anonymous sources always deserve special caution, especially when they come from only one news organization. In this case, the anonymous official is not even in the U.S. government, and any information about costs would necessarily have come second-hand at best, an added reason for caution.
Well, I have two anonymous sources.
What was Obama doing in India?
US President Barack Obama announced billion in trade deals with India that are expected to help pay for 54,000 US jobs.
He also unveiled new export rules to make it easier for US companies to do business with the nation of 1.2 billion people. Some of the changes, including relaxing controls on India’s purchase of so-called “dual use” technologies that could be used for civilian or military purposes, have been top priorities for the business community.
Obama was to make the announcements on Saturday in a speech to US and Indian business executives on the first day of his 10-day, four-country Asia trip. In the wake of Democrats’ midterm election losses, attributed partly to continued high unemployment in the US, the White House is working overtime to present Obama’s trip as singularly focused on US jobs and the domestic economy.
On a side note to Rush, get some help. We’re pulling for you.
