UPDATE 3: Please scroll to the bottom for the latest news on Rush Limbaugh. Video incuded.

Fox News is reporting that Rush Limbaugh was rushed to the hospital in Hawaii with chest pains and that he is in serious condition. Unfortunately all I have is this video. I will try to update before bedtime and certainly early tomorrow.

Update 1: Here’s what the WSJ is reporting

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

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

Update 2: And here’s the latest this morning from KITV:

“Rush was admitted to and is resting comfortably in a Honolulu hospital today, after suffering chest pains. Rush appreciates your prayers and well wishes, and he will keep you updated via RushLimbaugh.com.”

UPDATE 3: Jim Hoft caught this so if you want to see it … you must travel a bit more. But reportedly Rush is doing fine. Rush also said he was not taking painkillers at the time as the media (not I) was so quick to put out there. He was however on the evil drug I am trying to detox from, prednisone. From personal experience I can tell you that pred, along with the hot sun, would be enough to put me in the hospital too.
