Here are my questions for Rush this Sunday on Fox.
When you came back from the Dominican Republic in July 2006 you were caught with a prescription bottle of Viagra with one pill missing. You said it was yours but filled under the name of Steven Strumwasser, your drug treatment doctor, to protect your privacy. Smoking Gun Link
- While in the DR did you have oral, vaginal or anal sex with one or more people?
- What were the ages and genders of these people?
- Did you pay the people or did someone pay these people for you?
- Did you use some sort of barrier protection during your sex act(s)?
- Do you remember the names of the people you were involved with?
- Have you been in contact with any of these people since that time?
Please answer the above questions as if you are under oath. I say this because I know the answers to all the above questions and I will expect you to answer them honestly. Because, as you know, in American we don’t care about the sex we care about the lying.
The reason that I ask these questions is that as one of the leaders of the conservative movement your behavior is important. When people listen to you and agree with your views they have a right to know what kind of person you really are.
Just as we have moved on regarding Michael Vick, since he has great talents, I believe that the people will move on when they find out what you did in the DR and with whom you did it. Your sex life is important to the American public. We don’t care about it on the left, but the people on the right have shown time and time again that the sex life of entertainers and politicians is important and worthy of coverage.
- Were you aware that your activities in the DR were videotaped by a private detective?
- Do you know who hired the private detective?
The reason you would know that these activities were taped is that it is my understanding that you have been given a copy of this tape so that when necessary the people who have it can use it to control your opinion on certain matters.
- Would you please tell the American people what acts are you being blackmailed for and who is blackmailing you?
It was good for the public to know about Letterman, don’t you think it would be good for the public to know about your encounters in the DR? Letterman brought in the police for his case, isn’t it time you did the same?
Remember, I do know who hired this detective and if you claim/blame that it was someone other than who it really was, I can prove in a court of law who it actually was.

QUESTIONS ON DRUG USE DURING AND AFTER PROBATION
Rush, you were arrested and convicted for a felony commonly known as "doctor shopping". As part of your plea negotiations you agreed to submit to random drug testing. We all know that addiction is hard to overcome and many people are not successful in their first attempt to get clean.
- Did you pass your random drug tests during the three years you were on probation?
Remember, I can check with your probation officer. As you know, in American we don’t care about taking certain drugs. we care about the lying about taking certain drugs. In professional sports many athletes are in the position of taking random drug tests while they are working. Although the parallels are not exact:
- Since the time you have been arrested have you been free of drugs?
- Have you been high while performing your radio show in the last 3 years?
- Could you have passed a random drug test during the time you have been off probation for your felony?

FINANCIAL QUESTIONS FOR A MULTIMILLIONAIRE
Rush, you have said on the air that you are being audited by the IRS. We know that the IRS is not supposed to be used by politicians for political revenge. That said, under which President did this audit start?
Remember, I do know the exact timeline for when the audit in question was ordered, please consider that before you answer the question.
- Which areas of your personal finance or corporation finance are under investigation?
- Will the results of this audit be made public?
Thank you Mr. Limbaugh. Now a word from our sponsor.
SPOCKO GETS META: or
"What’s the point? Isn’t it All Okay If You Are A Republican?"
Allow me to get meta here for a minute. Someone asked me about my first series of questions and wondered why, if such video evidence existed, did I not bring it forward. I explained my thought process here.
I do not expect any journalist to ask the questions above for a couple of reasons. They might ask a pale version of the above questions but, based on recent puff pieces on folks like Rush, Savage and Beck, they will not ask any tough questions. Rush gets entertainer questions. Yet he is a huge economic and political force in this country. Why is he treated as if he is Jennifer Lopez in a profile in US Weekly? Rush, like Lopez has control over who interviews her, the types of questions and even approves the photos in the photo shoot. Rush is the key man for a multibillion dollar industry that relies on his revenue; the infrastructure he supports is massive. If you read the SEC documents from these companies you’ll see that if anything happened to Rush it would be a massive material event and crash the stock. Is Rush "too big to fail?" They don’t want to find out, so they will keep propping him up.
The questions I asked above are stylistically more like a criminal investigation or a deposition than a celebrity interview –and rightly so, since Rush may be guilty of some new felonies. I would expect that the authorities would ask questions like the above if he was caught in flagrante delicto (which I believe is Latin for flavored dyslectics.) I would also expect that there are "cleaners" who keep Rush’s messes quiet.
I am not a law enforcement officer. I am not a lawyer. I’m not a journalist, I’m not even human, but I know the importance of good questions and it’s time that he be asked these questions. The only thing that can bring Rush down is Rush and he is working very hard to make that happen while his plate spinners and financial beneficiaries attempt to save him. At some point, like the water that broke the poorly constructed federal levees in New Orleans, the flood will come.
Now is the time for some real journalists to get in there because Rush wants something, he wants sympathy, he wants to be the victim and in the process of his whining for sympathy it gives people an opening to ask some real questions. Questions about other laws he may have broken and some repugnant acts he may have committed.

And, since there are bunch of Rush fans who want to know why the NFL is picking on poor Rush YOU can answer their questions or question their premises.

How do you know the name of the detective who filmed? Where is the tape now? Can you prove that?
To quote myself:
Ever watch the interrogation scenes in “Homicide” or “The Wire”? In those situations the people asking the questions may or may not have the evidence they are talking about. The goal is to see how the person being asked the questions reacts. Wing nuts make up crazy stuff all the time and demand a response. “If you aren’t afraid just show us the birth certificate!”
The media doesn’t look at the outrageous assumptions, they jump right to the accusation. (At least when it is about Democrats, when it is about Republicans they attack the evidence –kerning anyone–to take the focus away from the real story.)
Questions 1-6 are the point, but in a journalism interview not only wouldn’t Rush be under any obligation to respond (since he is not under oath or in a criminal investigation) he can spin and respond with bluster and outrage to take the focus off of the questions.
I’ve watched political journalists work for years, and more often than not they are played by the people answering their questions.
Bush was very fragile around the press and if he was pushed too hard he flipped out, so the White House devised situations he could control. One question, no follow ups, no shouted questions, controlled “real people” audiences. And even people who had access knew that if you ask too many tough questions the audience might find their sympathy turning from the questioner to the person being questioned. Diane Sawyer stated this during an interview with Bush where he was asked a variation of the same question three times. Just when she started getting new information she stopped. Why? Because she knew the audience would start felling that she was “picking on” the President!
As a wing nut I can say that I have an anonymous source and the MSM might first report the allegations and then later, if it is disproved Oh Well. Because then under “Cokie’s Rules” it’s “out there” and people have to discuss “the controversy”.
Journalist’s can’t compel answers. Law enforcement can. But the journalist might be able to question if laws were being broken or if someone should look into if laws were broken.
Wonderful Spocko. Does he have the guts to answer?
No. These questions aren’t designed to get answers. They are designed to raise more questions. Questions in three main areas of Rush’s life that have been hidden.
Excellent, spocko. Simply excellent.
Thanks. Of course I didn’t use the patented Teddy Partridge ‘butter ‘em up then ask the zinger question” but then again I don’t expect Wallace will ask anything close to these questions. Now his FATHER might have…
BTW, the Wallace interview already happened and, based on his teaser, he didn’t ask any tough questions

Rush how could a person who has spent so much time talking about Gays and Aids even think about going to the Dominican with a bunch of Viagra?
Excellent back up stats, thank you. And that was my point behind the barrier method question. Rush’s future sex partners need to know if they are at risk. And if they are at risk how much it is worth to them to not take precautions.
I notice he has been losing a lot of weight. My dad died of AIDS, weight loss was the first indicator to me that he was sick.
He was proud of losing weight – to start with. Dad weighed about 85 lbs when he died. AIDS is a horrible disease.
Rush has been talking about his new diet but what you said makes sense AIDS or maybe Cancer very Good Catch.
BTW, my point behind Did you pay the people or did someone pay these people for you? is that the 3rd party is what makes it illegal in some places and Limbaugh my say (like Neil Bush did) that “the woman just showed up at my door!” Someone paid for that woman.
Rush traveled with his agent a Fox news exec and the co-producer of the show 24. 4 men on the prowl. 24 is pro-torture. Do you think that maybe other strange things happened? What goes on in the DR doesn’t have to stay in the DR. Especially if the law is involved.
You are making assumptions you assume Rush likes women:) 3 wives no kids given that Rush is just one Big Mac away from a heart attack any wife or girlfriend who has his kid inherits everything so Gay or Sterile is the only possibility there is no way Rush could avoid the gold diggers.
Even Fox News viewers think that Rush went to the Dominican to get laid I mean why else buy Viagra.
partying with protorture 24 producers and Viagra yeah someone is getting tortured. The thing is Rush has a lot of money so why risk AIDS by going to the Dominican Rush can afford White Women, and Men.
But the Dominican unlike America has a much larger child sex trade going on thats the one thing that Rush can’t get in America.
I have never heard that before link?
To quote myself:
“As a wing nut I can say that I have an anonymous source and the MSM might first report the allegations and then later, if it is disproved Oh Well. Because then under “Cokie’s Rules” it’s “out there” and people have to discuss “the controversy”.”
The fun I can have researching his stock portfolio pollution, child labor, slave labor, government contracts…get me that info!
Rush has bitched and moaned about his audit, but he won’t tell us what happens and if he does he will blame his accountant and probably claim it is politically motivated. If you look at the time line and the rules of engagement with the IRS you will see that it would be an incorrect claim, but that will not stop him from making the claim because as I said, there are no consequences for lying to the media when he is not under oath.
Leave Rush alone!!1!
