That would be great.

..accept that rich folks don't land in the pokey for things like this.. instead they land in plush rehab centers..

oxycontin and viagra.

he may have been taking something, probably illegal, for that rapid weight loss. I would bet that had something to do with it.

doubt he is on Oxy again. Probably lots of Bourbon and filet mignons.

that he's recently lost a large amount of weight. The poster speculated that the fast weight loss could have caused the chest pain. :shrug:

He went on Quick Weight Loss.

Last I saw was his big jiggly self bouncing around that stage at that repuke event.

...

Limbaugh, 58, suffered from chest pains, sources said. Limbaugh was sitting in a chair in his ninth-floor hotel room at the Kahala when emergency crews arrived, sources said. He told medical crews that he was taking medication for a back problem, sources said.

Whether it's periodic and acute or chronic and abusive.

They'd be interested in whether Rush contributed to his condition and for his admission.

If you have an addiction to pain meds, you give up golf rather than take meds so you can play. I thought you had court ordered rehab. Then I'm sure you know way more than the experts.

...lazy, fat bastard with a "type A" personality and a he has a thing for narcotics. He is a perfect candidate for coronary artery dz., especially if he has any family hx of it or if he has high blood pressure. I wonder if he'll be looking for a "Cheney Artificial Heart"?

:)

:-)

Nothing would make me believe in Karma more than that!

Cheers!

oxycontin is gonna kill the bastid yet and oh how I want to see him in the slammer first

rush told the EMT's he had taken something for back pain.. I guess that's why he had been out playing golf. THE PAIN WAS GONE???????????
