Sources: Limbaugh Rushed To Honolulu Hospital
Conservative Radio Show Host Suffering From Chest Pains


POSTED: 4:20 pm HST December 30, 2009
UPDATED: 5:08 pm HST December 30, 2009

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.

In 2001, Limbaugh received a cochlear implant after he suddenly lost hearing due to autoimmune inner ear disease. Limbaugh underwent treatment in 2003 for an addiction to prescription painkillers, including Lorcet, Norco and hydrocodone.

I hope he recovers.  I think he is amusing and highly talented at what he does.  If you ever watch him being interviewed outside of his day job, you get the clear sense that his radio persona is a farce.  Besides, Republicans don`t really take him serious anyways.

I agree Ive heard his show from time to time and seen him outside of his show is they are almost night and day.

some ppl do take him very very serious adonis this is one of the things that turned me off of him. Its ok if you take what he says with a grain of salt but some take him at his word.

When you sell your soul to the devil...
Don't know what is going in with him, didn't he have gastric bypass surgery as well? Too much is going on with him when it comes to his health. Which shows the fallacy of thinking money can buy good health.

If his radio and personal personas are diff, it clearly shows why he doing what he's doing, money, fame...and what is the cost...

Yep.  On every thread, you have some people doing that.  And, on every FR thread, you likely have someone referring to the Obama birth certificate or blaming libs for everything wrong with america.

It's the nature of message boards.  80% moderates, 10% extreme left, and 10% extreme right.

UPDATE: 11:29 PM EST -- Sources inside the hotel report the hotel took drastic measures to get the mystery patient -- reported to be Rush Limbaugh -- out of the resort without being seen.

Hotel security reportedly shut down a wing of the hotel and the guest elevators -- the patient was transported using the employee elevator bank.

On average they make $11,000 more a year than Americans, But it costs nearly a arm and a leg for things like cars. For instance a a $90,000 Porsche could in theory after taxes and registrationcost very well over $180,000. Also if you mod your car, you pay $100 for every horsepower your car makes over stock. If the cops think your car is modded, they have it dynoed. Try enforcing that in the States. Also doing 80kph in a 50kph zone is a $1,000 fine.

I don't pray but I do hope Rash lives a long and miserable life. 

The more misery/pain/suffering he can endure while alive the better as far as I'm concerned......I hope he lives a long time

Praying for someones death is something that only the Repubs seem to do

if you like cars, Norway isn't the place for you  ;) read on ...

from a guy living in norway ...

been browsing german cars on mobile.de ....dreaming for Audi B5 RS4's...then checked with the norwegian customs dept... They want over 40.000euros in tax on a car that costs 20.000euros in Germany.....200% tax...F**K ME!!!! So.....no RS4 then. The tax was actually 77.000euros, but 33.000euros was deducted due to the car beeing from 2001. Hit

so, where do I apply to become a german citizen and work in Norway on a permit?

...

It is the norwegian import tax on cars that's the big one here....you see...our government hates cars more than anyone in the world.
Norway is not a part of EU, and I will be fined the norwegian price of the car +25% pentalty tax on top of that. 85.000euros is a fine I just cant pay

the displacement tax is much lower for diesels, so this whole dumbass system which is supposed to be enviromentally friendly (the gov tell us) actually favours very old 2-4litre diesels without particle filters. Organisations like NAF (ADAC/AAA), SINTEF (largest independent research organisation in Scandinavia)protest and say the system is crap, and that it causes for a lot more pollution, the government make their own surveys and pollutin readings, and stand completely arrogant on the side. Last month they were out saying they were wrong, and NAF and SINTEF were right in that 1 litre of diesel pollute a lot more than 1 litre of petrol....as a result they raised the fixed diesel taxes with €0,02/litre (too reduce emissions) It's almost like entrapment when you concider that after these new taxes from 2007, 70% of all new cars sold were diesels because the politicians scared the people with horrible petrol taxes..and then after sales raise the diesel tax

Quote
for me the noise a car makes is such a big part of it, that an electric car will NEVER appeal to me like cars with internal combustion engines. No matter the benefits, as long as the electric sports cars sounds like bumper cars or subway trains, or makes no sound at all.

Try watching the car chase from Bullitt with mute on while switching on some electric kitchen appliances.


Btw, I've almost been run down three times on my bicycle by soundless electric cars in Bergen...mostly driven by assholes who like to seem trendy by saving the planet or crazy environmentalists who think the ocean will rise 100m next year if we don't stop polluting by thursday.  Razz to them I say F*** YOU and F*** your electric car! Fuck

now you know my stand on electric cars....sportscars or not.

...

yes, I'm with you on that, and I adore the constant development both with engines using less fuel and being more efficiant in general. But from my point of view it is because of the tax system in Norway. For every new invention and new prototype fuel efficient engine, the normal motorist is severely punished with taxes here. It is just a matter of time before the government here will tax normal cars with normal internal combustion engines to supercar prices, given that there are electrical cars available. There's even been talk about banning newsales of normal petrol and diesel cars by 2015. Yes, 6 years from now. Only alowing biodiesel, hybrids and other alternative fuels before banning the internal combustion engine for good some years later. The method of changing the country's carpark is by TAX, and by TAX only.

does these people in the government think electric cars generate their own electricity? It has to come from somewhere, and if everybody drives electric cars the hoseholds electric bill will skyrocket. Especially in a cold country like norway where we need a lot of heating in the winter. So unless all the electricity el-cars need come from waterfalls and windmills, the total energy need will still need power generated by coal and fossile fuels.....it's just shifting the end product for the user. Instad of the user burning fossile fuels for energy, the power plant will do it for you, and give you electricity in return.

There's also another aspect....have the designers of electric cars ever driven in scandinavia? Freezing cold temepratures that often freeze batteries solid, high mountains and crappy roads. You will never get nowhere close to the milage in an elecric car here. An where are you going to charge it?....on a 200km mountain pass? Or in some long ass fjord? It's difficult enough to find petrolstations some places as it is. In Norway we need petol and diesel cars and trucks. No arguement, but because of all the new inventions with electric cars, we will continue to be taxed crazy, and we dont need that. New small engines no extras VW passats already cost mercedes s class money here.

The government here has it's mind set that is is us, the norwegians all 4,5mill of us, are the reason the planet is going down the drain, but if we pay tax for it, the world will shine tomorrow. It's like the catholic church in the middle ages and purgatory for f***'s sake.

For some reason I think the Democrats who will be dissappointed by his death, and it will be the Republicans cheering his demise. Rush Limbaugh has driven so many sensible Republicans from the party it ain't funny. Now, the only one's they've got left, are those brain dead hicks ...like ...well I don't think I have to 'coach' you into figuring out who.  ;) The republicans fear Limbaugh, 'cause he controls the majority of what's left of their constituents, ...but they don't know how to get rid of him. If he dies, ...I believe they wiill be extremely relieved and pleased, ...and will make steps to gather his flock of sheep before Palin swoops in from Alaska.

Typical left wing lunacy.I love it when the left tries to tell republicans the direction the party should go.Once again,when liberal "moderate" republicans run they lose.When conservatives run,republicans win.Look at McCain,Dole,Bush 1,all moderates all losers.Compare that to Reagan and Bush 2[who ran to the right but governed to the middle].

LOL you probably would think I was a hick jag except Im half japanese but other than that I drive a truck, I hunt(got me a doe and a buck a few weekends back), I am conservative(even though you think Im radical, probably a sign of how far left you are), and I do talk with a southern accent(sometimes bad others not even noticeable).

I dont think rush has driven any reps away thats wishful thinking on your part. If ppl dont like him they dont listen to him simple as that.

You dont just have a fundamental change in thinking jag b/c some guy is eccentric and says shit you dont agree with.

very good assesment

any here remember how some Repubs have tried to criticize Limbaugh (if only to distance themselves from him) and then crawling back and begging for forgiveness.    Limbaugh is the spiritual leader of the radical fringe that has infected the party and I agree that many in the Republican leadership would secretly be happy if he were gone.   Maybe he can do a "Lee Atwater" and find out he's dying and and have a spiritual conversion and repudiate his past evil deeds.  That would even be fun.  One can always hope.

I still haven't figured out what's right wing to you.

You think Bush, Obama, and Clinton and all Liberals and even though, between the three of them, they vast majority of the population voted for them you still seem to think the country really wants a far right lunatic like Palin.

Obama pretended to be a moderate and disguised everything he truly was with a media that covered it up as well.He DID NOT run as the liberal he is.Clinton ran as a moderate,tried to govern to the left,then got blown out of the water in 94 and moved back to the center.Bush ran as a conservative but,unfortunately goverened as a big spending lib.

The far right lunatic,Palin got over 40,000,000 people who voted for her and by the way the VAST majority did indeed vote for her NOT McCain,even McCAINS campaig adviser,who hates Palin,admitted that.

Here is the bottom line.When democrats run and win they do so by hiding what they really are.Never do they say they are liberals,they run on things like tax cuts for 95% of Americans then raise taxes.When conservatives run they trumpet they are conservative.

You've stated that Bush, Clinton and Obama are all left wingers.   I'm still waiting for you to explain who is actually a right winger and then explain why you think the country wants a right winger since they've clearly voted for only left wingers (according to your definition) for the past 5 presidential elections

with that in mind please explain who is right wing in your world and and then explain why you think the voters actually want a right wing administration or policies.   Again - you think the current and last 2 Presidents were all liberals (which is odd given that in reality NONE of them were/are).

Thats exactly why you are complete idiot.  Serious, you are a joke if you think there is any difference whatsoever between Obama/Bush/Clinton/Reid/Pelosi etc. 

Bush was not a right winger you fool.  He was more liberal than Clinton.
