Rush Limbaugh Hospitalized, Heart Attack Suspected
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh was rushed to a Hawaii hospital after suffering chest pains on Wednesday, according to numerous reports.
Paramedics responded to a call for help at 2:41 p.m. local time at the Kahala Hotel and Resort, a Hawaii TV station reported early this morning.
The 58-year-old Rush, who has an army of 20 million listeners, was taken to Queen's Medical Center in serious condition, station KITV said.
Limbaugh's lawyer, Roy Black, told CNN he couldn't confirm reports that he had a heart attack but said he was "concerned" about Limbaugh.
Rush Limbaugh reportedly suffered a heart attack yesterday.
The popular talk show host was vacationing for several days in Hawaii and was seen playing on a golf course nearby. It is unclear if he is still in the hospital.
Limbaugh has increasingly been seen as a key leader in the Republican Party, and a top-rated voice on radio for years who earns up to $50 million a year.
A rep from his program said in a statement: "Rush was admitted to and is resting comfortably in a Honolulu hospital today after suffering chest pains."

Hope that a government conspiracy
was not involved in Limbaugh's heart failure.

I have also read all of Rush's books but did not find them a waste of time. After I read all the above comments, I got the impression that you are all jealous of his success and money and that is why you say such discusting things about another human being. I'm sure you couldn't possibly think that all of us millions who listen to him are morons like all of you. Now, that would not be very nice. It's time Obama started to take responsibility for the mess "HE" is leading this country in and stop blameing everyone but himself Your children & my grandchildren will pay for the mess we are getting into. Get Real

We need Rush to be President of the United States. Sarah Palin would be a great Vice in the Oral Office. Dick Cheney could be Secretary of Defense.
If you are healthy you don't like to see rich fat people over indulge and become sick because of it. It drives up insurance costs for people that can get insurance.
Nobody wants to see Beasty Boy Rush Limbaugh do Dance Your @ss Off.
He has to take care of himself since he is a role model for male chauvinist pigs who smoke, drink, take drugs, and have 200 pounds of flab. People around the world hate Americans because they think Rush Limbaugh represents the United States of America and what it stands for which is greed, and stupidity.
Source: I read all of Rush's books up to around five years ago. I couldn't read any more of them since it was a complete waste of time. I learned nothing from it except that a F student in college can drop out and be a success in this crazy world. I used to listen to his show. He contradicts him

KWW: You BIG fool. Rush's days are numbered and he is to be envied because he has money in the bank? Apparantly he's going to need it because I'm sure your terrific medical system is going to stick it to him for Millions. Rush has sold his soul to get his riches by being a complete and absolute dick. Now the devil is knocking on the door to collect. I hope the good doctors and nurses in the hospital have the good sense to put him in diapers because he's going to shit himself when he has to anti up.

Could someone do testing to see if he even has a heart?
No wonder this country is in trouble. Eight years of GW and
uncle dickie put us here. Yet Limbaugh and all the other
republicans blame this all on the Democrats. We did not cause
this problem, we did not have to have our brother win us the
election by pregnant chads. We did not get us into Iraq to save
the oil fields on promises made to our buddies. We would not be
in this mess if all our efforts were used in Afganistan. One of the first things GW did was tap into social security for money as there are no safety measures to prevent his "borrowing" from SS. My question, why doesn't Limbaugh and all his radicals put their hands in their pockets get out their check books and starting paying off the mess they plunged us into?? The blame should be honestly accepted by those who caused it the republicans, GW and uncle dickie. Quit blaming Obama, he inherited this mess from the
republicans. Now Obama has to dig us out of

KWW--
You little fool. You're just jealous because you are a nobody, and Rush makes $50 million a year and has 20 million listeners. You, on the other hand, vent your frustration about your pitiful life by knocking down a man who is successful. We laugh at you, buddy.
