Wait – Limbaugh was in Hawaii when this happened? It’s all Obama’s fault! ---

I’ve read that he is in the same hospital that Obama was born in – Queen’s Medical. ---

Wow I hope they give him some good meds, or at least better than what he has in his pocket. He won’t die though. I think Dan Brown, J.K. Rowling and whatever floozy wrote Twilight, would all be shocked to hear what it takes to kill such a beast. I really, really hope he’s being prayed for. ---

No, I don’t think it’s the same hospital. Obama was born [here](http://www.kapiolani.org/women-and-children/about-us/default.aspx), at Kapi’olani Medical Center’s maternity ward (it had a slightly different name). The one Rush is at was named after the Queen before Kapiolani, Emma. I just hope he doesn’t ruin Barack’s vacation. First the underwear bomber, now this. :eek: ---

> [@Zoe](#): > > I’ve read that he is in the same hospital that Obama was born in – Queen’s Medical. Late at night, Limbaugh peers out under half-closed eyelids. Seeing that he’s alone, he sits up and throws back the bedcovers to reveal that he’s dressed in a ninja outfit. He spits out the tranquilizer pill that he concealed under his tongue and places it stealthily on the bedside table. He moves along the corridors like a shadow until he finds the records room. He picks the lock on a file cabinet and begins searching through old birth certificates with a penlight flashlight held in his mouth… ---

He picks the lock on a file cabinet and begins searching through old birth certificates with a penlight flashlight held in his mouth… The first part should have been: "He spits out the tranquilizer pill that he concealed under his tongue and places it stealthily on the bedside table. He takes 11 Xanax and 3 Vicodin from his change purse, then takes his orders from Satan in a drug induced trance. He is now a ninja, for righteousness!!" Then he poops himself, and blames that on the liberal media. ---

I am glad Rush has money for health care and does not have to live in a bungalow instead of a beach-front house. As he told Shatner on his talk show. > [@](#): > > WILLIAM SHATNER, HOST: Here’s my premise, and you agree with it or not. That if you have money, you’re going to get healthcare. If you don’t have money, it’s more difficult. > > RUSH LIMBAUGH: If you have money, you’re going to get a house on a beach. If you don’t have money, you’re going to live in a bungalow somewhere. ---
