1. LOL. . .what a tool ole limp dick is

:kick:

[shadowknows69]

2. Jesus wept. How much you want to bet it gets full MSM coverage too?

[gateley]

3. As somebody mentioned, if it was a drug induced/related incident, it will be

a long time getting the straight story.

[Warpy]

5. Oh, I believe it was chest pain

He's been courting that for a very long time between the fat and the cigars.

Whether or not drugs are involved are just a guess at this point, although is recent, dramatic weight loss without dieting is a bit suspicious.

Even a soft rule out for cardiac disease is miserable. You can bet he's being lectured nonstop on how the party's over and he's going to have to take better care of himself if he wants to live to enjoy his millions.

4. Should be an "entertainment conference" coz that's all he is, an entertainer

for the simple minded.

[grytpype]

6. Hopefully he'll announce that he's dead.

[DeschutesRiver]

7. He is having a press conference from his hospital bed?

This is really most odd. Maybe he has decided to get out in front of whatever he has been hiding, so that he might escape Tiger Wood's fate of losing his biggest sponsors after his secret life was put out for public display due to Tiger choosing to have no input on how the story was told.

[gateley]

10. I doubt it. Even when he "came clean" before about his addiction, he was

still a "victim" -- still taking no responsibility for his actions. I just don't see him seeing the light, as it were.

[DeschutesRiver]

13. You were right on the money

I just read in another post that during his "press conference", he denied any drug abuse.

I hope this is seen as a challenge to some and that he is soon to be raked over the hot coals that he is so fond of raking others over.

8. He is beneath contempt with this 'press conference'

Nothing wrong with him. He has now used his 'chest pains' for politics! He sees NOTHING WRONG WITH THE US HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. THE HOSPITAL IS LIKE A HOTEL. HE WAS TREATED JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE WOULD BE AND OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM HAS NO PROBLEMS. HE'S PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!!

Sure. All Americans get the care he did. Even those without insurance, I'm sure. I imagine his pain was caused by drugs or else it was all made up so he could insert himself into the health care debate and also get attention.

9. And be damned if that Beck kid outdoes him in screaming for attn...n/t

[skip fox]

11. Limbaugh's drug problem has been long (and strongly) suspeted here at DU

Not just based on weight loss but behavior: rapid talk, clipped certainty (more than even normal), abrupt switches of directions, etc.

[saracat]

12. WTF? Is he now "officially" a statesmen? Do the rest of a get a news confernce

everytine we feel ill? I am recovering from my cold. Shall I call a press conference????????
