Breaking: Rush Limbaugh rushed to the hospital with chest pains (UPDATE 3: “RESTING COMFORTABLY”)

Via AP:

HONOLULU β€” A Honolulu television station is reporting that conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been taken to a hospital with chest pains.

KITV reported Wednesday that paramedics responded to a call at 2:41 p.m. from the Kahala Hotel and Resort where Limbaugh is vacationing.

The station, citing unnamed sources, said paramedics treated Limbaugh and took him to The Queen’s Medical Center in serious condition.

Queen’s spokeswoman N. Makana Shook says the hospital is unable to comment on the report.

Television station KHON quoted unidentified sources saying Limbaugh was taken from the hotel in an ambulance.

Just heard about this story on my local news – am digging to find out more info. Post any related links in the comments. And, of course, keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Of course, the some on the far left are already wishing for the worst. Punks and jerks.

Update 1 – 11:26 PM: I’m reading across Twitter that Limbaugh is reportedly in serious but stable condition.

Update 2 – 11:55 PM: KITV is reporting that Rush won’t be leaving the hospital today.

12:34 PM: Still no new updates – not from the news sites I’m monitoring nor Twitter. Am headed to bed. Will blog more about this issue in the morning. Hopefully there will be good news to report.

Update 3 – Thurs – 9:54 AM: Various news outlets in Hawaii are reporting that Rush’s website notes that he is “resting comfortably” and that he thanks everyone for their prayers.

Good to hear.

Still can’t get over the level of hatred I witnessed last night on Twitter over this news. Never seen anything like it in terms of the sheer volume.
