Excerpt:
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.

As one gets older, one of our greatest fears is not to get sick and die alone. For those of us as rich and famous as is the good Mr. Rush Limbaugh, such thoughts would surely be disquieting, perhaps sending up a red flag or two.

Further, for those of us after working as hard as Rush and after making many sacrifices and friends to not have anyone around us when our time comes or almost comes has to be a bit unsettling if not downright embarrassing.

The enclosed article does not identify a 911 call, who made the call and who was in attendance when the paramedics arrived.

This episode with Rush makes me mindful of the inglorious attention to the illness and death of columnist Robert “Bob” Novak. Good manners prevents me from publicly recording further thoughts on this episode with Rush other then the fact I hope he will at least get some flowers from Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz. I hope the local florist is swamped with orders. I truly fell sorry for Rush. Honestly!
As always,
BB
