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.
Thanks for clearing that up. You are correct, my memory now recalls that term for what was performed on me.
In my case, it was a torn ligament. In Rush’s case it probably was a mild heart attack. Hopefully not, but by the looks of the news, it may be so.
At least he will recover and make it back to do his fabulous show in due time.
When old guys get to Florida, something happens. All pants-sense flies out the window.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Or worse... there are funky short pushers on every corner!
Ha Leni - the old ties were my first thought, too. At least he’s consistent in his tastes. I kinda like the shorts.
Until we hear more, we are all speculating.
God, I hope he is alright.
Don’t ever go away! You gave us a good chuckle!
We’ll have to add Laperostopy to the Freeper lexicon along with “stunned”, “series”, etc.
If we can’t laugh at our mistakes and foibles, what can we laugh at? And what’s a little mocking among friends!
Ditto ROFLOL!!!
Prayers Up...
I join you in that HUG!!!
Just because I need it too! :)
You would not believe how many intolerant people from the “tolerant” left are showing up on twitter tonight. It is sad to read so many hateful people calling for and wishing that he would die. They should just shut twitter down if that is how it will be used.
I wanna hear someone from the hospital say he is ok.

A physician should at least be able to SPELL!!!! Get outta here!
Yes..I’m a physician and “yes”..I can spell.
I just can’t type; my typing is as bad as my handwriting...and you know what they say about physician handwriting.
It’s true.
By the way.
What kind of word is “outta”?
What I said before is still true.
With advances in cardiology being what they are, if Rush did have a cardiac event and has gotten this far, he has a good chance for a complete recovery.
He might have to make some life style changes. Giving up the cigars might be a start.
Not to mention that Hawaii is RAT turf, BIG TIME! With RAT mayors and cops. Plenty of local thugs too.
TMZ is even slow.
Now there is an idea..Can you imagine the florists on Oahu..they will have to go out and pick flowers out of neighbors yards there will be so many orders. I hope get some encouraging words soon that he is going to be ok.
Even the nut-jobs are creating headlines over this story:
Liberal Glee on Display Over Limbaugh Hospitalization

It's a tribute to the advances in medical science, plus the professional skills of doctors and nurses.
Unfortunately, if the Democrats have their way and we're stuck with national healthcare, it will be the end of "medical advances". Without a profit motive, new stuff just doesn't get invented or developed.
And the professional skills of doctors and nurses will start heading downhill...
LostInBayport, you’ve got it exactly right. The difference between the good of the Right and the evil of the Left is stunning. But we’ve got to pray for those people, because they are merely flesh, however it’s Satan that works the evil through them.
So do I.
From Wikipedia:
The initial idea for Dan's Bake Sale was conceived on the The Rush Limbaugh Show in 1993. One caller, "Dan" from Fort Collins, Colorado, told Rush Limbaugh that he was photocopying a coworker's subscription to the Limbaugh Letter, Rush's monthly magazine that covers current events. The reason was that Dan's wife was not a fan of the show, and would not allocate the funds needed from the family budget to subscribe to the Letter. Limbaugh light-heartedly informed Dan that he disapproves his photocopying printed material, and offhandedly suggested that Dan organize a bake sale to raise funds for a subscription, spoofing then-recent bake sales to raise funds to reduce the national debt.
After Dan's call ended, the next caller to the show noted that he felt Rush was a bit harsh, and that he intended to attend Dan's Bake Sale. Rush again dismissed the topic. The next caller noted that he would like to attend Dan's Bake Sale. Rush repeatedly announced they would take no more "bake sale" calls but the gig was on and everyone calling in for the next week or so put in a plug for Dan's Bake Sale.
Limbaugh never seriously proposed a Bake Sale and neither did "Dan." But the landslide of support for Dan and his bake sale was on. Eventually, some 65,000 people from all over the United States and as far away as Australia showed up in Fort Collins for Dan's Bake Sale.[13] Jay Leno even made jokes about it on The Tonight Show.
Limbaugh did attend, and had a brief presentation, giving Dan his first issue of his subscription.
Dan considered making it an annual event, but agreed with Limbaugh's assessment that the original just could never again be replicated.
Too bad for them, huh? Rush is on loan from God and God didn’t call him home just yet. I guess Rush has more earthly good work to do!
Oh...man...they are going to be OVERWHELMED!!!
