Irony of ironies or nefarious plot?

Headline from Honolulu TV station KITV: Limbaugh Hospitalized with Chest Pains

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.

Paramedics treated him and took him to Queen's Medical Center in serious condition. He will not be released from the hospital on Wednesday night, sources said.

The Kahala Hilton is one of the tonier hotels on Oahu; it's next to the Waialae Country Club, where the Hawaiian Open golf tournament is held. Limbaugh was seen golfing there earlier this week.

Hmm. Obama plays golf as some bumbling wannabe terrorist burns the hell out of his groin; the media howl and the Republicans scream that the Prez ain't taking it seriously. Limbaugh plays golf while the same things are going on yet no one is chastising him for his absence. Since Rush seems to think he's king of the GOP and he commands apologies from his errant subjects when they stray from his gospels, shouldn't he be held to the same standard?

Seriously, I hope he recovers. But what was he doing out here in the first place? Looking for Obama's birth certificate?

What, you think Republicans should have accountability? No, that's just a device for blaming liberals for anything that goes wrong.

Can we embroider a scarlet "A" for accountability on all the Republicans' clothing?

'Course, many of them may be ignorant of the classics, so they'll think they're Dimmesdale rather than Hester Prynne.

well know we ALL know it wasn't a heart attack--we all should have known that anyway, you would have to have a heart for that to happen and well, goes without saying...
