Rush Limbaugh Undergoing Tests at Honolulu Hospital
Rush Limbaugh is undergoing a battery of tests today as doctors try to determine the source of the chest pains that sent the popular talk-radio host to the hospital overnight while on vacation in Hawaii.

Limbaugh "continues to rest comfortably in a hospital in Honolulu," guest announcer Walter E. Williams said on Limbaugh's radio program today. "He had a comfortable night and he is getting good medical attention."

During his opening monologue, Williams said Limbaugh was undergoing a multitude of tests today.

"Those pains were the kind of pains that make one feel like he has a heart attack coming on but it has not been confirmed that is a heart attack," he said. "Today, Thursday, he will have a complete examination and we will know more."

Nice to have good health insurance isn't it Rush? So far I hear they haven't located your heart.

1. I don't think Rush carries any health insurance.
He pays cash, which he can afford.

4. Rough estimates of his worth place it well over $500 million...
Edited on Thu Dec-31-09 03:26 PM by Auggie
and maybe even close to $1 billion.

15. Which means exactly "0" if you're getting ready to croak.
All that money and wealth means absolutely nothing.

He is getting older.

12. Years ago, he said he did not carry insurance.
(This was way back when I used to listen.) That was before his ear trouble. He recommended that others do the same, he said insurance was a scam and not worth the cost.

So much irony and hypocrisy in that....

20. Yeah, that's the problem. Only chump change.
Of course, he could demand high-end procedures that normal insurance wouldn't cover anyway.

Once you're rich like Rush, you can be as big an ass as you want and no fine you ever pay will even dent your wealth. That's a problem.

7. I do not wish him well
He's too much like Hitler to be worthy of any good wishes. In fact, I wouldn't mind if he croaks.

Shit for brains.

11. If 6 minutes is good, then 24 minutes would be better!

22. I think he should have a series of barium enemas. One a day for at least a week.
I will volunteer to administer the barium that is sent up his anus and into his bowel, then hold it there for oh, about 2 minutes, then relax and then send the next wave through. After about an hour of this I want to see how this guy looks..."how ya doin' Mr. Limbaugh, had enough?"

14. Send a thousand copies of Obama's birth certificate to his hospital room.
One every 10 minutes.

That should jolt his heart every time.

17. How ironic- a potential Death Certificate from Hawaii for the OxyPig.
Would Dittoheads think it was valid?

26. While they've got him, they should snip that nerve connecting his optic nerve to his sphincter
since it seems to give him such a shitty outlook on things.
