In October, the National Enquirer broke the story of Limbaugh's drug addiction. The initial piece reported that Limbaugh had been illegally purchasing prescription pain-killers from his housekeeper Wilma Cline and that he had paid her "$80,000 he owed her, plus another $120,000." In November, Limbaugh tried to heap scorn on the National Enquirer's credibility: "It's quite hilarious to listen to people quote The National ENQUIRER as the world's foremost authority, and I'm here to tell you they're not, and what you know, or think you know, you don't know." In December, during court proceedings, Limbaugh's attorney Roy Black revealed that "Limbaugh paid 'extreme amounts of money' to Wilma Cline, his former housekeeper, and her husband, first for pills and then for extortion." Or to put it another way, Black confirmed the National Enquirer as the world's foremost authority on the drug procurement habits of Rush Limbaugh.
