One day after the national press hammered Rush Limbaugh for his comment that a black star football player is overrated, the National Enquirer and New York Daily News are set to splash tomorrow's front pages with allegations that radio's top talker has abused drugs, according to the Drudge Report.

" 'RUSH LIMBAUGH IN DRUG RING'... HOUSEKEEPER WORE WIRE IN SET-UP, SUPPLIED PAIN PILLS TO DEAF TALKSHOW HOST ... ENQUIRER ALLEGES ABUSE OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PILLS," headlines Drudge. "NEW YORK DAILY NEWS SET TO SPLASH PAGE ONE THURSDAY, NEWSROOM SOURCES TELL DRUDGE." There is no story accompanying the sensational headlines.

The most listened-to radio talk-show host in history, syndicated in more than 650 markets worldwide, Limbaugh insisted today there was "no racist intent whatsoever" in his comment that the media have overrated Philadelphia Eagles' Donovan McNabb because they want to see a black quarterback succeed, reported the Associated Press.

Limbaugh is a commentator for ESPN, whose spokesman Dave Nagle said he doesn't think Limbaugh's remarks were racist. "He was comparing McNabb's performance on the field to his reputation in the media," Nagle said, according to AP.
