CONSERVATIVE BLOWHARD "LOTHARIO" LIMBAUGH MAYBE FACING MORE LEGAL PROBLEMS

It hasn't even been two months since conservative talker Rush Limbaugh made a deal to avoid criminal prosecution on a charge of doctor shopping, and yet the radio host could be facing yet more drug charges after being detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents Monday at Palm Beach International Airport.

Limbaugh had just arrived on a private plane from the Dominican Republic when his luggage was checked and an agent found a bottle of Viagra which had apparantly prescribed to someone else. A spokesman with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office told the Palm Beach Post that the names of two doctors, who Limbaugh said were his personal physicians in Florida, were listed on the bottle. He said the 29 tablets, used to treat erectile dysfunction, were for his use.

The 55-year-old Limbaugh was detained for about three hours before being released. Officials say the radio host cooperated with them, and that the case will be turned over to the State Attorney's office to determine if charges are appropriate.

The agreement which Limbaugh, an admitted prescription drug addict, reached with prosecutors in April is that the felony doctor shopping charge will be dropped in 18 months under certain conditions. Among them are that Limbaugh complete substance abuse treatment, submit to randon drug testing, and refrain from violations of any law.
