View Full Version : Mush Limpdick hospitalized in Honolulu, in "serious" condition
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.

Wow! That really completes the story and brings it all together.
FYI - Norco and Lorcet are both Hydrocodone.
I suppose many of us have a multiple addictions to beer, brewed hops, brewed barley, and carbonated alcoholic beverages. :rolleyes:

OK, part of me wants to say things like I hope he has the type of stroke that leaves you unable to speak and part of me says that's lowering myself to his fan's level.
I personally feel the world would be a better place without him in it but since I was never a Compassionate Conservative.....I'll just say, "Get Well Soon".......asshole;)
Wow! That really completes the story and brings it all together.

Yeah, it looks like one of those... "put the story out and we'll add the details later" kind of things. Though his deafness WAS caused by his oxycontin abuse, that much is a medical fact. And years of that kind of drug use can't be good for the heart either.
As for those other "addictions", talk to me tommorrow night about that :gulp:

It's not the opiate, it's the fucking Acetaminophen it's mixed with. Tylenol. My mom was on regular vicodin for her Multiple Sclerosis and I finally talked her into having the doctor switch her to Norco. Same amount of the opiate for pain...much less Acetaminophen. I think it can mess with your liver as well.
Acetominophen is bad on the liver. Ibuprofen is rough on the kidneys. I try not to use either one very often, but then I rarely need pain killers of any sort. Last time I had prescription pain pills was when I had a horrible tendonitis flare up in my shoulder a few years back. Either Oxycontin or Hydrocodone, forget which. They helped me sleep, but really didn't do much more for the pain or inflammation as the over the counter stuff did.
Ended up using the rest of it "recreationally", because I damn sure wasn't gonna throw it away.

That's a common practice. We give you 15 to end the pain, and another 15 to use as needed... family reunions, the holidays, jury duty .... etc....

Thanks for asking. About the same. The way her disease is, staying the same is kinda what we hope for. Just try to avoid the really bad periods or keep them to bare minimum. The problem with all of the pain meds she is on, is that her tolerance has built up so they don't work like they really should. And since she is also dependent on them, it makes it really tough to switch them out to other types.
As for Rush, I feel bad that he became addicted after he didn't need them anymore. That's become a huge problem in the last 10-15 years. It sucks because the opiates work so damn good for pain, but also make you feel good and are extremely addictive.
I would bet money that if we had mandatory testing for every single politician or media person...at least 10% would be currently taking some form of prescription drug that they are hooked on.
What sucks for the average Joe is we can't afford to take 30 days off of normal life, spend $25k, and go to a resort/rehab for 30 days.

Bullshit. He was born with a silver spoon in his fat mouth by his rich daddy judge who pulled stings to get him an intern job at a radio station where he later became a low-rated DJ. He talents was being an overactive mouthpiece of Rethuglican policies (even though he was a college drop out) got him bounced from station to station until the post Reganites gave him a talk show. Rush wouldn't know hard work or the "American dream" if it bit him in his fat false prescription writing ass. He doesn't support "freedom" he supports policies and agendas spoon fed by the people who gave him his god damn job. The guy is purely a lying drug addict, clandestine racist and obese Rethuglican propagated puppet.

I'm sure if this was Keith Olbermann (who pretty much does the same exact thing, admit it), I'm sure you guys would just brush it off.
Don't know what makes him so evil? He's a conservative? Is that it? He did drugs? So what, the guys f--ed up, big time, seems to have owned it and has moved on with his life.
Again, for the record, I'm not a fan of the guy, but I wouldn't be wishing death on a guy who really hasn't harmed that many people.That's pretty stupid and petty, and you're pretty much stooping to his level.
If he bugs you guys that much, do the simple thing, turn on Sports talk like I do and just ignore him. Same with the conservatives who don't like Olbermann, Franken, etc.
Just for you, Jerksmear......

Just heard on CNN now that he was interviewed and he said "Our healthcare system is the best in the world and I don't see a thing wrong with it".
Naturally, having signed a 400 million dollar deal for his radio show last year.
Sure...he can afford the very best healthcare, because even with medical bills that would be catastrophic to anyone else, they would not even qualify as chump change to him. Aside from that, the insurance companies would most likely pick up the tab for his fat bloated carcass even if he had no insurance, being a mouthpiece for the right-wing fascist Nazi (Republican) Party all these years.
He is not worth saying any prayer for, unless it is a prayer for him to quit taking up valuable resources used by other more deserving people and die already. :mad:

He is a huge supporter of the individual and the freedoms an individual should have to achieve his or her goals without the dependence or interference of Government.
He was made by his listeners, the radio stations that carry him (along with the attendant advertising dollars), and the readers of his books.
Now, that shouldn't be confused with saying he isn't financially successful, nor that he worked hard to get where he is (because that wasn't what I mean to infer), but "self-made"? Not so much.

So it was probably all a scam to get him some Oxycontin, more than likely. Supposedly he also complained of "back pain" even though he was on the golf course the same day of the alleged "heart attack".

All drugs have negative side effects. Every single one of them. Sometimes they are needed but not at the levels society is taking them. Most people on Zoloft and Prozac don't need the shit. Most erectile disfunction and acid reflux is the result of poor exercise habbits, eating poorly and too much, and stress.
Popping pills is the easy solution because a long-term fix or prevention is too much work.

Rush seems like an unstable egomaniac obsessed with material wealth. Such people are such easy fodder to exploit and you certainly are a fool to trust such people. They usually have many skeletons in the closet, drug addiction usually being one of them.

You say that as if it's a bad thing....
I wouldn't be surprised if he had a panic attack, assuming something actually DID happen to him. Panic attack symptoms can be mistaken for heart attacks, and Mush leads a very sheltered life most of the time. He doesn't even do his radio show from a radio station like most other radio hosts, but instead built a studio in a converted pool cabana behind his mansion in Florida. Literally, the guy hardly ever leaves his house. Last time was probably the right wing CPAC convention last year, and if you saw his act there, it was obvious that he was heavily medicated.

I must admit I'm not a big fan of the late 70's Dead studio albums. But that's OK, because the band themselves pretty much regret that period.

Grace Slick once said drugs are hardball entertainment. They work, can be fun but too much, using too long, or the wrong combination will KILL you.
Much like jumping a motorcycle over buses, it's only a matter of time before it bites your ass but you can have a ball before that happens.

Just heard on CNN now that he was interviewed and he said "Our healthcare system is the best in the world and I don't see a thing wrong with it".
Naturally, having signed a 400 million dollar deal for his radio show last year.
Sure...he can afford the very best healthcare, because even with medical bills that would be catastrophic to anyone else, they would not even qualify as chump change to him. Aside from that, the insurance companies would most likely pick up the tab for his fat bloated carcass even if he had no insurance, being a mouthpiece for the right-wing fascist Nazi (Republican) Party all these years.
He is not worth saying any prayer for, unless it is a prayer for him to quit taking up valuable resources used by other more deserving people and die already. :mad:
And this is where I get confused because I read you saying that, but then I know with my father who lived in a hospital for a year because of cancer, chemo, and surgeries (with ambulance rides to and from facilities) that with our healthcare we didn't pay a cent. And it's not like we're anyone special or rich. Nor was my friend's father who had the same situation.

Why there must be thousands of threads with me giving a nod or two in great detail how I and my pagan sisters drink goat's blood dressed in Baphomet masks all wanting to be sodomized by the great god Pan.
Dude, I was raised Catholic and the closest I ever came to any kind of a ritual was when I joined a sorority which was more or less a self-serving bitch club for women with all sorts of deep-rooted psychological issues. So fuuuuuuuuuuck you!
As for your modern day Goebbels er, I mean Rush none of what I spoke was "opinion" Was or was not his daddy a high-paid judge? Did not Rush get into where he is today by family nepotism? Did or did he not blatantly insult Micheal "J" Fox's disease? All fact, I'm afraid.
All religions suck. I was raised Mormon which meant my illusion was blown when I was in the temple in a fucking green apron and a baker's hat being intimidated to swear that all I have and will have will be the LDS Church's in order to become a God. None of the group sex orgies rumored to take place in the secrecy of the temple were true and there were some hot babes in the prayer circle with me. Damn!

Rush Limbaugh actually sells greed and corporations are good. That's his main message. That being said, corporations have now become monopolies and have taken over sovergn nations as the divide between the poor and the rich widens and the rich become richer. The world is ran by corporations now and Rush thinks it's great. He doesn't give a damn about the people who have had their jobs outsourced and their health care priced beyond what they can afford. He's rich and that's all he care's about.

Part of the reason is that a bands first album(s) are usually written over a period of a few years and tested with audiences whereas later albums are written over a few weeks.
The production on that first album was horrible though. But then, the Dead were always about the live show. They had to make records to get on the radio, but the first three records were really just live recordings in the studio.
Workingman's Dead and American Beauty was when they started taking the studio more seriously. There was going to be a third album in that "trilogy" but 1971 is when the band started getting sick of Warner Brothers, and decided they would just take the new songs on the road, record them there and end up with a live album, made up of mostly new songs. They also wanted to name that album "Skullfuck" just to piss off the label but were advised against it by somebody who wasn't as high as they were. Instead the album ended up without an official title.

Gotta wonder what some of the songs from that era might have sounded like if they had been done in the studio in the same style as WD/AB were though, with all the acoustic guitars and Jerry playing steel guitar, etc.
This performance was NOT on that album, but it should have been.......

LOL! If the studio was in a converted racketball court it would be Ed.
He called Kurt a "worthless shred of human debris" and Jerry "just another dead drug addict". Probably high as a kite himself while making both statements.
He was correct though, wasn't he? So what's you're point: guy has chest pains, gets checked out, so you start a thread talking about how soft his knob is?
I think you're the one high as a kite.
FWIW I think the guy's an egomaniac and can't stand him, if he's not discussing something relevant.

I'm not gonna say that just because I don't give a fuck about Rush, that nobody else gives a shit.
Maybe this is FORD's way of sneaking in his closeted conservativism thru the side-door of a Rush attack.
Could anyone else here give a shit if Rush croaks? I don't. All that guy did during the Bush years was chant "rah rah Bush."
Not to say I'm a Bush-basher either.. I'm not. I could give a fuck about either one.

Speaking of Wicca, check out the following article ...
Institute on Religion & Democracy (IRD): "Wicca’s Invitation: Pagan Practices Are Meeting With An Increasingly Receptive Audience In the Episcopal Church: Is It the Consequence Of An Unmet Need?" ...
Institute on Religion & Democracy (IRD) (http://www.theird.org/Page.aspx?pid=1333)
An interesting (IMO, at least!) excerpt ...
An Unmet Need
After years of researching Wicca, Sanders has empathy for women like Lanyi that have looked to pagan ritual.
“There definitely is a hunger,” Sanders explained. The author observed that croning rituals tend to draw older women, while younger women seek rituals involving nature. Many times, the rituals grew out of desire to be recognized or acknowledged.
“Older women have a lot of wisdom, and they do have a special place in our society,” Sanders said. “But the fact that our society has this view that women need to make themselves better (through things like plastic surgery), that’s the result of sin and the fall.”
“A lot of these women are looking to affirm something that they don’t think is being met,” Saunders said. Quoting author Arthur Lindsley of the C.S. Lewis Institute, Sanders surmises that sometimes “people are interested in neopaganism because of the unpaid bills of the church.”
Dude, I was raised Catholic and the closest I ever came to any kind of a ritual was when I joined a sorority which was more or less a self-serving bitch club for women with all sorts of deep-rooted psychological issues.
...
Another except from the IRD article ...
“It would be good for churches to consider ways to honor who God created us to be, the things we are experiencing,” Sanders said. But Sanders added that if rituals do not point to Jesus, they don’t have a place in the church.
“The Gospel is the best answer for those people,” Sanders said. “As a result of sin, we don’t honor women the way we should, and therefore they are reaching out. These are people that are in our midst that are hurting, and if it means reading up on these rituals, that will help us understand where they are coming from.”
“In modern 21st century America, we think we know what we need, and that’s a dangerous place to be in,” Sanders said. “We need to constantly glorify him [Jesus].”
...

Listen, I know many people involved with Wicca (most of them being women) and personally regarded their beliefs as another means of escapism that you would find in just about any church whether it be Catholic or Protestant. Young women turn to Wicca out of need to belong to something that doesn't judge them on the basis of not being pretty, curvy or popular enough and this is why they identify with the "Earth Goddess" and other feminine overtones in rituals. Now is that a positive thing or does it belong in traditional church doctrines I don't know but no one I know who practices Wiccian beliefs is patronizing, discriminating or killing others in the name of Wicca. So in that case, more power to them.

I had a friend whose sister was Wiccan, and who was dating a Wiccan ... They were a little on the strange side, but ultimately pretty harmless ...
When I was about 15 years old or so, I even role-played with them and my friend once, using G.U.R.P.S. (Generic Universal Role-Playing System) ... My friend's sister's boyfriend was the GM (Game Master)--and, therefore, was responsible for controlling all characters not controlled by us ...
