(2003-11-13) — President George Bush and Senator Bill Frist, R-TN, were arrested today during an alleged prescription drug deal in Washington D.C.. Insiders said the deal involved billions of dollars and pills and “intense levels of dependency on both.”
The drug bust comes just days before conservative talkshow host Rush Limbaugh is scheduled to return to the air after a month of treatment for his own prescription drug addiction.
Senator John Breaux, the Louisiana Democrat who offered the deal to the Republicans, said, “Prescription drugs appear to be the Achilles’ heel of conservatives. They can’t resist them.”
Police have accused Mr. Bush and Mr. Frist of being part of an elaborate drug ring which intended to trade prescription medications for votes with millions of Americans.
