Upon returning from the Dominican Republic on a private jet inJune 2006, Limbaugh was detained at the Palm Beach International Airport when a bottle containing 29 erectile dysfunction pills was found by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in his baggage, prescribed in the name of the physician treating Limbaugh for drug addiction.^{[1][2][3][4][5]} "I had a great time in the Dominican Republic," Limbaugh later joked on his radio program. "Wish I could tell you about it."^[6] Limbaugh was not charged with a crime in the incident. ^[7]

1. Agree. Kpedsea 02:32, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

3. Agree. --ElKevbo 03:02, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

This isn't going anywhere and I don't think I'm even a party to these discussions or this dispute. Kpedsea has more than adequately proven his or her case and this RfM has sat idle for several weeks. I'm withdrawing from this RfM. Best of luck to everyone who sticks around if this ever actually gets started back up! --ElKevbo 16:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
