Sources: Limbaugh Rushed To Honolulu Hospital
KITV Honolulu ^ | Dec. 30, 2009 | KITV

Posted on 12/30/2009 6:46:56 PM PST by Beaten Valve

HONOLULU -- Conservative radio talk host Rush Limbaugh was rushed to a Honolulu hospital on Wednesday afternoon with chest pains, sources told KITV.

Paramedics responded to the call at 2:41 p.m. at the Kahala Hotel and Resort.

Limbaugh suffered from chest pains, sources said. Paramedics treated him and took him to Queen's Medical Center in serious condition.

He was seen golfing at Waialae Country Club earlier this week. The country club is next to the Kahala Hotel and Resort.

The radio show host had been in the islands during the holidays. Coincidentally, his visit comes at a time when two of the nation's most powerful Democrats, President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are also staying in Hawaii.

Dear Yaelle, I’ve been waiting for you to get here. Yep, I love him too. I think he knows his loyal audience loves him and I believe he loves us too and I don’t care if that sound corny or not.

Like you, I’m in full tears and I’ve been praying my Rosary ring in between typing. Every time Fox breaks in with an ALERT my heart stops. You said you’re in public... what do you mean?

Oh no, another ALERT. Whew, the same repeat of prior news.

Our prayers are being heard.

Keep in mind that part of the reason hospitals term people “serious” and “critical” is for prioritizng resources. If a 58 year old guy comes in complaining of chest pain, I’m calling it serious until I know exactly what’s wrong.

Pray like it’s something, but it may very well be nothing. He might be back on the golf course tomorrow.

Osage, I'm pretty certain that poster was telling someone else that she hoped that BHO would need to leave office EARLY, but did not wish him HARM; if you read the post s/he was replying to, perhaps you'll agree.

Let's hope & pray there'll be GOOD NEWS soon, I wish that Rush's brother would make a public statement SOON.

Prayers up for Rush. And because I am an optimist, prayers for those on the left who wish for his demise.

Some of the comments from Politico:

Looks like about 30% positive. Some of the negative comments are:

  • I hope the ******* dies

  • Dont worry my right wing nuts, if Rush is gone, there is Sarah, Glenn Beck and thousand others to brain wash you ditto heads. You morons are not in short supply, and so is Faux Infotainment entertainers raking millions out of you ditto heads. :)

  • Peter Pan, please place you're healing hand on our Dear Rush's forehead. Through your teachings, Peter, we learn to accept all and love all. Through Peter Pan, Rush has been given divine powers of truth of conservatism. Liberals suck and Reagan/Bush leads to great America. Low unemployment from low taxes and tiny government. My family is praying for you Rush. We love you. May Peter Pan Bless thee and help accelerate recovery to get you back out on the links. Best Regards, Matt Pumpernickel.

  • Rush keels over and lands on Glenn Beck, who flails and crushes O'Reilly's larynx and as all three descend to the lowest rungs of hades, Hannity weeps tears of joy. Ratings!

I also looked at HuffPo and, frankly, the comments I read there were a hell of a lot classier than those on Politico. Scary thought.

And, no, I can't bring myself to look at the Dumpster.

Rush, I never truly realized how much a part of my life you are...until today. I am a proud 24/7 member and listen to you any time I want. You put my mind at ease on a daily basis...and in some ways you have been a good friend. I’m praying for you. God Bless You.

You are pathetic.... Rush isn't in an "office"! Go back to the hole you crawled out of!

You don't read carefully.

I was referring to an earlier post wishing illness upon Obama, which is the kind of response I am accustomed to seeing out of the far left, not here.

Obama is in office. Rush is not. I hope this elucidates things for you.

The filth on the lefty blogs are in full celebrate mode. Well, one or two of them do seem to feel genuine sorrow — that he’s not dead. God, how I hate them. I hope and pray Rush lives for 150 years.

According to Twitter reports ABC and a local radio station are saying Rush is now in "stable condition"

Thank you for posting that...let this be one of the times the drive-bys have it right...

I feel like I'm sitting by the phone waiting for word on a friend.
