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.

Good! Hope that a-hole dies!

I have to pull from a place that people like Rush don't even know they have and wish him something he would not wish on those he disliked, I wish him well.

I thought he lost his hearing from oxycontin over use?

i don't believe in karma so fu(k him...i didn't

Aw thats not nice,, and beautiful eyes by the way,,,

I don't particularly like the man...but dang

Yeah, im sure he has loved ones somewhere, I dont wish the pain of losing someone you love on anyone..

Eh, Rush will get the gerbils removed and live on....

and those quotes are supposed to mean I think it should be ok???? nope I think for myself.

I'm not a fan of his, but I don't hate the guy. Maybe because I know I don't have to listen to him????

No of course not....the news just reminded me of some classy things great minds have said...if he dies it will only change one thing, one word from "is an arsehole" to "was an arsehole".

Not many people are more responsible for misguided thinking than Rushbag. Some of my best friends hate Rushball. My brother hates him.MY daughter hates him and my GF hates him. Our hatred has brought us together. I have beaten on Lymabag every chance I get and am proud of it. He is scum. I know I wont be landing in hell with him for saying it.

I know I'll miss him.

you and madman need to go back to your corners

Get your facts straight.

He lost his hearing due to a heriditary problem.

The oxycontin use came about because of the pain from the probelsm with his ears.

What a shock.

Rush Limbaugh gets put into a hospital, and the Leftists rejoice.

What was REALLY shocking is seeing Dragoness actually wish him well.

As for the rest...the reactions are not surprising in the least.

After all...he doesn't agree with you, so him dying wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Silence the opposition.

FACT

Extremely heavy hydrocodone (Vicodin or Lorcet) abuse is known to cause hearing impairment. Commentators have speculated that radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh's hearing loss was at least in part caused by his admitted addiction to narcotic pain killers, in particular Vicodin and OxyContin.[5]

Rush Who?

FACT : You have exactly ZERO proof that his use of Oxycontin had anything at all to do with his hearing loss.

So, unless you can actually PROVE it, then you are doing nothing more than spreading rumors.
