You can walk into any drugstore in Canada or Mexico and get most any kinda prescription drug.
The Dominican Republic caters to men there for
the hookers.
You can probably pick up a bottle of Viagra at your hotel desk..

Well, for me at least, it explains the Kagan brush-up – she probably thought all that hot-air was responsible for his bloatness’s prowess – not the lil’horny-cheater pill that druggies across America abuse in conjunction with their cocaine and excstasy (sp).

Were they the “friends” he met with in D.C.?

Did they all stay together in the same cabana?

Wasn’t a hotel suite in D.C. (with oodles of extra bedrooms) used for poker/cigars/sex, with escorts and traveling all financed and provided by certain lobbyists?

Let’s just add sex with children, group sex, and illicit drugs to the picture, and we have a portrait of Republican family values which resembles a Roman orgy in the time of Nero and Caligula.

Wait… the Romans didn’t have cigars.

This puts Thomas and Rove in proximity of a felon (albeit one with a sweetheart deal).

More than this, it brings into question why Rush needs Viagra. Didn’t he recently divorce his 3rd wife? Is he having sex outside of marriage? So much for family values.
