Pharmacy to McMahon: These Drugs Ain't Free!

16. What is this, Mr Gowers Drug Store from Its a Wonderful Life?...where you run a tab, put it on my tab kind of thing? GEEZ, no Pharmacy does this type of business anymore----you order a scrip your doctor gives you, you wait to pick it up and than pay for it when you go to pick it up.

Why are these skinflints getting special treatment when the rest of us dont? Mickey Fine Pharmacy? From Beveryly Hills huh? You've probably provided more sleeping pills and downers that have killed hollywoods best than any drug store around.

Put it on my tab huh?...I hope you dont get paid.

17. Sorry, can't feel sorry for him or her. Also sounds like everything is in his name so its his credit thats in the toilet,not hers. Bottom line, blowing millions and not considering the future is nuts. Poor planning on his part is not everybody elses problem.

18. WTF?? How is I have to pay at the counter when I go to a store--either by creditor cash. He doesn't have a credit card so they give him "store credit" ?? How "small-town 1940's" of them! Eat the cost now, you discriminating bastards.

19. I used to work at this pharmacy. They don't deserve their money at all. They cater to celebrities and wouldn't think of doing something like this with a "normal" person. The pharmacy is horribly run; I wouldn't be surprised if it's run into the ground because of poor management skills.

20. BTW... I spent a very long plane ride to France in seats next to rude Mr. Ed and listening to him and his loud kids and grandkids, then a long baggage line where he was a real a-hole to people coming over and asking for his autograph... just cuz he old don't mean he nice!

21. well, this seems crazy, he was a real drinker his whole life so I'm not at all surprised by the irresponsible decisions he has made in his life. Amazing he is still with us , because he should have one enlarged heart and liver by now, guess he stopped a while back. He can downsize to any small home in any State where the really people r suffering by no fault of their own. Government should never had allowed the mortgages they did with nothing down. What a mess.

23. There is no doubt if Ed liquidated his assets he would have millions. Instead he wants a hand out. I agree about the pharmacy, all us common people better show up with money in hand or we won't be getting any prescriptions. Just another case of over indulged celebrities.

24. I have trouble paying the VA for my husband's medications, and Rite-Aid for mine. How can you run up a Rx debt lake this? If I don't pay, we don't get them.

25. I don't understand why none of his rich friends have stepped up to help him . . . at least pay his mortgage!

26. Ed said on LKL he didn't want "handouts" he was their to identify with the others suffering in the mortgage crisis..what a stupid comment on his part, he went on to say on a follow-up show ( don't remember which Dateline?)..to say " so and so have called me, and Leno , but this isn;t why I went on LKL"..ok Mr.Ed...I'm sure people have sent him cheques..who knows what the real deal is!!...how does somebody born in 1923 have a mortgage????? ED, IF U GET HANDOUTS , PLEASE FORWARD THEM TO CHARITY THAT IS 100 %.

27. Tough luck...the guy was over 21 when he got married...for an x-Marine Corps Carrier Pilot...a crash landing

28. Ed is becoming a little senile if he cannot see what his little wife is doing. The bimbo is spending him into financial never never land. The very next time she goes out and spends money like no tomorrow you need to slap her silly!!!

29. WOW...sad how the depth of desire for being rich and famous can get the best of you, not many make it in LALALAND.

30. Maybe the pharmacy got the names mixed up and the $8,000 is owed by Larry King's wife!!!
