Rush plausible theory of what happened with the pills

A lot of this drugs and Rush stuff isn't adding up for me. So let me try out a theory here.

Read this on http://www.thesmokinggun.com/doc_o_day/doc_o_day.html

If true it gives insight to the behind the scenes goings on.

Note that the two were running a Palm Beach-area pharmacy.

Now, what if Rush were a legitimate customer of the pharmacy these two owned. Just happened this way. With me so far?

So the maid may have been picking up Rush's legitimate prescriptions all along. So if anyone asked, she just says these are for Rush. Cool cover story for the maid/pusher who might get caught with the drugs eh?

OK lets say these two pharmacy owners were doing what is alleged on the smoking gun site, selling these pills on the black market. Well how do they cover their tracks at audit time? Simple. Rush is a customer. So they simply credit the excess purchases to his account. Why Rush's account? They assume that if anyone wants Rush's medical records he will resist with legal means. Might be why Rush is accused of buying enough of these pills to kill a horse ... hmmmm.

Neat scam we have here. All is fine until the cops start moving in. Then trouble. The maid might have been a pusher who was taking the excess "Rush pills" and selling them, not to Rush but anyone who wanted them. So Rush was part of the cover story for the dealers/pushers.

Now add this tidbit ... I remember Rush on-air several times saying he does not bill his insurance company for drug expenses, he just pays cash for them. He admitted to not keeping records of his drug purchases nor did he total it up for taxes at year end. So Rush was an accidental sitting duck for the scam.

So now Rush goes on the air. Says he doesn't know what is going on. Assume what Rush says is true for the moment and all else begins to make sense.

Curious don't you think.

Oh, the flaming's coming, you can bet on that. Next we'll hear that Rush is actually a DEA agent on deep cover assignment.

[newcats]

law enforcement had enlisted Rush to participate in a long-running sting operation to catch the maid's bosses, dealers, pushers and other sundry perps.

Kinda like when Elvis wanted to work undercover for Nixon eh?

Leni,

One problem Rush said he didn't know anything about it.

But appreciate the deep thoughts.

"And what if a space ship landed on Rush's patio and,,,,,,,,,,"

...and carried you back to the DU pit.

Now that would be funny.

Good working theory ...

Hey dude. Did you ever consider that sometimes, especially if you know you can prove you are innocent, it makes sense to feign weakness by hanging back and staying in the weed...till ALL the snakes expose themselves.

[TheConservator]

Didn't the Enquirer report that Rush had met with a space alien a few years ago?

Hear hear - esp. if all *your* ducks are in a line just waiting for the moment to sue NE for every last quarter they own ...

I have not heard this mentioned anywhere, but could he be covering for Marta? Any history there?

Btw, I am a long time listner and fan of Rush and just considering all angles.

[Protagoras]

Now that would be funny.

But not as funny as your fantasy land "I need to defend Clinton Rush at any cost even before the facts are out" theory.

Great stuff, maybe you should write some scripts for TV, they are in bad need of fresh material.

That was Art Bell. :^)

One of the curious things I have noticed about Dims is they start name calling as soon as the argument doesn't go their way. Discussion isn't their strong suit.

Sounds like you might be suffering a Clinturd hangover.

[bigeasy_70118]

Never assume it will all work out, especially with a criminal matter.

[bigeasy_70118]

Great minds think alike

So what's our excuse? :)

[Some hope remaining.]

I think he was just experimenting with starting his own medicare prescription coverage plan. He was buying pills from the rich and giving them to the poor. :-P

[Renfield]

A pharmacy cannot legally release narcotics to "a maid". Heck, it's hard enough getting them to release them to ones spouse. If the pharmacist released a prescription for narcotics to Rush's maid, he knowingly comitted a federal felony.

[MinuteGal]

Your #43.....Rush is still under deep cover till all the perps are rounded up, yessir!!

My thoughts are shaken, not stirred.

Please cite the namecalling you are referring to.

The whole country is suffering from it. But many are happy to forgive the same behavior for certain people.

If this story were about Clintoon, the site would be ablaze with attacks and rightous indignation. Hypocricy is rampant.

EXACTLY!!! Your tag line is awesome: (Understanding is a three-edged sword : your side, my side, and the truth in between ." -- Kosh)
