Top talk radio host Rush Limbaugh called on DNC chief Howard Dean to release his medical records yesterday, after Dean said he was standing by his false allegation that Limbaugh was a cocaine addict.
"It might be helpful if we could see his medical records," the radio host told his audience. "It might be helpful if we could get Dean's medical records and plaster them all over CNN because we won't really know the truth about anything until we get these medical records."

Citing an interview last year where Dean admitted he had a drinking problem during his college days, Limbaugh said, "The reason I think it's important to see Dean's medical records is we need to know how many brain cells he lost during his drinking binge period."
Limbaugh also questioned Dean's ethics as a medical doctor.
"What kind of a doctor must Howard Dean have been to lie about somebody's medical condition and confirm the lie and then say, 'Well, you know, Limbaugh, he makes fun of people all over the place, but we all need to protect our ethical standards.'"
In October 2003, the top talker admitted he was addicted to prescription painkillers as a result of a longstanding back problem. But even his harshest critics have never accused Limbaugh of using cocaine.
According to a report last month, in a speech to Minnesota Democrats, "[Dean] did draw howls of laughter by mimicking a drug-snorting Rush Limbaugh."
Appearing on "Meet the Press" Sunday with Tim Russert, the top Democrat defended his decision to falsely imply that the radio host used cocaine.
"The problem is not that these folks have problems. They do, and they have problems in the case of a drug addiction," said Dean. "The problem is it is galling to Democrats, 48 percent of us who did not support the president, it is galling to be lectured to about moral values by folks who have their own problems."
Dean also told Russert that he is a "committed Christian" - which apparently means he has no problems with personal morals.
