Limbaugh Reported Hospitalized With Chest Pains

What a tragedy for America should Rush Limbaugh succumb after being stricken today on the golf course in Hawaii. For this calm, fair and balanced voice of reason to be struck down and taken from us during a time when his cool reflection and insights are more important than ever would be a national tragedy.

Indeed, should Limbaugh pass away, it is inevitable that tree hugging Leftwing Socialist wackos will tear down the very foundations of this God-fearing nation, send us careening headlong into another Sodom and Gomorrah, perhaps even trigger the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and bringing brimstone and the Horsemen of the Apocalypse to extract retribution from our nation, now bereft of it's moral compass.

So...everyone please dig deep, and send those contributions to me, Elspode. I will see that all donations go to an appropriate political action fund to ensure that Glenn Beck, or someone like him, can quickly ascend to their rightful position as the defacto leader of the Republican Party. Appropriate handling and service fees will, of course, be deducted in keeping with the best ideals of Free Enterprise.

Thank you.

In retrospect, you're being very short-sighted, Els. What about Ann Coulter? The anti-christ could be female (or a reasonable facsimile thereof, in that case) too, ya know. Sheesh. Or Palin. Who, oh who, will speak for (name 3 dwellars, quick!)?

Do you think we can collect enough to get him "not" the best care available? Better yet, can we maybe make sure he gets plenty of pain killers to ease his suffering ...

Oh my, I am so going to hell for this post.

Actually, the golf story was a fake. He was really checking into Obama's birth certificate. Thank goodness for the CIA.

Is it too late to post to the 2010 Death Pool?

P.S. I just realized. I posted a sarcastic wild-assed conspiracy theory involving the current administration. In 45 minutes some humor impaired conservative is going to read this. In 90 minutes it's going to be the lead story on Fox.

BTW, If he needs a heart transplant, can Cheney give him one of the spares he keeps on hand? So many poor people, so many involuntary donors.

Oh gawd, I don't know. Perhaps they'll start (gasp) listening to someone, anyone, else!

Thanks, Spode. A good laugh -- and there's no one here at work to hear me!

So why was Rush to celebrate the New Year with Obama? If he did not have a medical event, we would have never known who parties with whom.

So its still them and us.

I know you all don't like Limbaugh and, really, any of the conservatives . . . but it's pretty damn cold-hearted of you to *applaud* and be happy when one of them is having serious health problems. I can think of damn few people who I would be joyful about hearing of their death, and political reasons wouldn't do it.

In theory, I agree with you Juni, but there are about 10 (see wish list in Death Pool) that are exceptions to the rule.
