My guess for Limbag: panic attack. Often mistook by sufferers as "a heart attack coming on."

[thereismore]

They are not life threatening, but they are scary as hell. Could be a side effect of taking anti-anxiety medication (Xanax, etc.), or pain killers. I hope he has a long life ahead of him with at least one panic attack per day. On air would be nice.

[valerief]

1. I want him gone. He's a domestic terrorist. nt

[muffin1]

3. Me, too!

I was hoping to start the new year without him. Oh well, I guess I can hope for an air bubble to find it's way into a vein, or perhaps a bad piece of chicken on his dinner tray.:)

[liberalmuse]

2. You mean that fat, toxic piece of shit is still alive?

I didn't want him to actually die--I just wanted him to go away. Forever.

[valerief]

4. Ha! You've just described death. nt

[CreekDog]

5. I was thinking an attack of pork rinds mistaken for conscience

:shrug:

[tularetom]

6. I'm thinking bad reaction to prescription pain medication

His recent dramatic weight loss since the bouncy bouncy video should be a clue. You KNOW that fact piece a shit lacks the self discipline to lose that weight by cutting down on his intake, He had help (a lot of help) from the little blue pills. And if his idea of exercise is to ride around in a golf cart for 18 holes and hop out to swing a club every five minutes or so, that doesn't do any good either.

OTOH, it wouldn't be all bad for the bloated pile of dung to have a panic attack or ten today.

I don't WANT him to die, but I wouldn't be sad if he happened to check out. He's wished death on so many people that karma's just waiting to bite him in his fat, cyst covered ass. He's a mean nasty excuse for a human being and the world would be far better off if he left it.

11. The bouncy stuff and non-stop talk reminds me of a woman I knew who

was addicted to Meth. I doubt that he is on anything that strong, but he could be on something similar that is pushing his weight down but also causing him a lot of problems. He doesn't quite talk as crazy as a Meth addict -- but he isn't far from it.

I wonder whether he still has his own teeth. If he is on Meth, then his teeth will eventually be damaged I believe.

7. Drug addicts have drug problems that lead them to the hospital. nt

[FreakinDJ]

8. BullShit - the Fucker ran out of Pain Pills

he faked the whole to re-up his perscriptions

[Bitwit1234]

9. Since he is and always has been over weight this could

be a hyital hernia attack. That is one thing that positively mimics a heart attack more so than anything else.

[foo_bar]

10. so he's fat and opiate-dependent and chain smokes cigars and eats raw animals on stage?

I can see why they're keeping him for observation.

[Speck Tater]

12. What I wish for Limbaugh: Long life and much happiness.

He is the way he is because he is deeply unhappy, so he takes it out on everyone he perceives to be an enemy or a scape goat.

If he were truly and deeply happy he simply would not be the way he is. Without all that painful paranoia, he would probably be a liberal, and very likely a friend to our side.

So the most radical way to "solve" the "Limbaugh problem" is to help him find real, lasting happiness. Lacking any way to do so directly, the second best think is to simply wish him that kind of happiness.

[REP]

13. Actually, Xanax, Ativan et al make them go away when used properly

Notice I said 'properly.' Xanax is also a drug of abuse, and Blowjob may have been jonesing for his next fix.

[thereismore]

21. True, but abuse invites panic attacks. You will find anxiety listed among "side effects" too. nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. Triple his dosage.

and call the doctor in the morning.

[frebrd]

15. Glad I didn't hear about this before now........

If I had, I'd be bitterly disappointed at this point!

:)

[Liberal In Texas]

16. Yeah well, it could also be acid reflux disease. But I'm betting he'll have an angioplasty

and maybe a bypass. Years of drug abuse take a toll even after you stop using (which he probably hasn't).

And Xanax is prescribed if one is having panic attacks.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

17. Are you kidding? It's really common for an obese middle aged/older white male American to have heart

disease, coronary artery disease.

It could be any number of other things but anyone taking care of the guy should assume first that he is suffering from coronary disease and only move on to other things if it is proven that he does NOT have coronary disease, since that would be the most life threatening common condition related to his chest pain symptoms.

[Hansel]

22. +1

The guy just looks like a heart attack waiting to happen. He's morbidly obese, his face is flushed in every picture I've ever see of him probably indicating high blood pressure, and he's abnormally hyperactive and a yo yo dieter (both indications he's probably still abusing drugs). His heart and arteries are probably in bad shape after years of abuse from eating a really bad diet, from abusing drugs, and from his excessively hyper type A and angry hateful personality.

They don't usually keep people in the hospital because they had a panic attack unless they admitted him to the psych ward.

[cherish44]

18. He's back on the bad shit.... he probably was never off it

Maybe this will be one of those near death experiences where an epiphany happens and wicked ways are left behind.......nah, won't happen.

[Odin2005]

19. That happened to me 3 years ago.

Had a panic attack in the middle of the night, thought I was having a heart attack. Got an ambulance. Scary as fuck!!! :scared:

[lunatica]

20. Remember when Tony Soprano had a panic attack and thought

he was having a heart attack? He really hated the way it made him look. Carmela never let him forget it either. If Limbaugh got all this publicity over a mere panic attack it just makes him look like the coward he is. I'm just talking about perception here, not ridiculing panic attacks.

Here's hoping it's only a panic attack. Ha!
