HONOLULU — As conservative radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh underwent tests for chest pains in a Honolulu hospital, caller after caller to his show sounded their well-wishes.

Fans were asked to simply say "ditto" — a traditional Limbaugh catchword — to express their support Thursday so they could get on with questions and comments on social and government issues on the national talk show.

"Ditto!" echoed newlywed Jeff Steele of Lexington, S.C., when asked if he was a Limbaugh fan.

The Steeles said they weren't aware Limbaugh was even in Honolulu until a relative called to say he'd been staying at their hotel.

"We're a little detached from the world," Steele said. "But we are conservatives."

1. "We're a little detached from the world," Steele said. "But we are conservatives."

:rofl:

Best unintentional summation of conservatism I've ever read!

[Wickerman]

2. +1

[shadowknows69]

5. Yep. Should read "We're a little detached from reality" instead though.

[Cleita]

3. "But we are conservatives."

No, dittoheads, my parents were conservatives. You people are Kool-Aid drinking bigoted Rushbots. You became detached from the world when you started listening to this lying, racist dirt bag of a human being.

4. I wish him a full recovery, but with crippling medical bills his insurance refuses to pay. n/t

[Cleita]

6. With an estimated wealth four hundred million dollars, that's just a drop

in the bucket for him. Are we sure he isn't self-insured already.

7. With $400 million in the bank

He gets any treatment he wants.

Insurance is a secondary issue that his office people handle to recover any funds they can recover.

As terrible as our healthcare system is, there is nobody ill enough to burn through that kind of wealth.


This is true with pretty much anyone with 9 figure networths

9. How about he croaks, and his insurance agrees to pay in full. That's a fair trade .

[Union Yes]

8. I wanna call and answer with 'Fascist'. nt

[Lint Head]

10. Say ottid 10 times and the Limpballs will die.

Palin believes in witch doctors. Maybe it will work.

[Iggo]

11. Didn't work. (n/t)
