The Real Reason Rush Got Arrested

I read this great article on The Huffington Post and it got my mind going.... Rush Limbaugh was arrested yesterday for carrying a vial of Viagra for which he didn't have a prescription. One thing everyone who travels understands is that you'd better be sure your meds are all legitimate, especially if you're on probation for prescription drug fraud.

Anyway Bob Cesca points out the huge hypocrisy of Republicans, especially their talking heads. If you recall we just went through a week of Senate debate where Republicans orated on the critical importance of protecting "traditional marriage." Now, just to review for a second, their definition of "traditional marriage" means that all sex must be matrimonial, heterosexual, and procreative. In fact this is one of Rick Santorum's primary tenets.

In other words, no adultery, no pre-marital sex, no masturbation, no sodomy, no oral or anal sex, no contraception. The only time the GOP Sex Police will allow you to screw is when you're married to someone of the opposite sex, do it in the missionary position, and trying to make a baby.

So what was the unmarried Rush Limbaugh doing with a vial of Viagra?????

Also, what does this say about his ex-girlfriend Daryn Kagan of CNN that he needed help?????

So it remains to be seen what the Republican thought police will do about this. Rumors have it they stormed his studio this afternoon and took him off to one of their "re-education centers" for discipline. Their Sex Police raided his home in Florida looking for dildos, condoms, and other forbidden sexual paraphanalia. Is this really happening in America? No, it's just some satire.

This IS what people like Rick Santorum want to happen in America however. He supports a religious theocracy where his government will be in your bedrooms dictating how you have sex, with whom, and how. Santorum does NOT believe there's a right to privacy in America. How about sending him back to private life in Leesburg, Virginia soon? In fact let's Rush it.
