Rush Limbaugh Hospitalized, Heart Attack Suspected

by at .

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

    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.
