Poll question: Is limpbag's "heart attack" a Hoax?

Someone mentioned the idea in another thread.

1. Drugs. It was illicit use of drugs, I bet.

The POS dodges a bullet. He will call for the president's outright death in 2010, I predict. Damn.

[razorman]

4. I heard that he lost a lot of weight recently.

I suppose drastic dieting could lead to a situation like this.

[wryter2000]

21. It could

Or the drug abuse could lead to weight loss.

[niyad]

2. something just seems off about the whole thing--"chest pains real" etc.,

why is he still in hospital? is it standard procedure to keep someone in this long if that person hasn't actually had a heart attack?

[FreakinDJ]

15. Ran out of Pills during his vacation

whats a drug addict to do

Run to the ER and fake the "Big One"

[Cleita]

3. Something happened and he's not being honest about it.

Let's hope someone leaks some information. If his chest pains weren't heart trouble, then what were they? Breathing problems or problems related to his dieting and drug use?

[virgogal]

11. Why would he be obliged to tell us what happened---he's a private citizen?

Time to give this entire thing a rest.

Who really cares?

[Cleita]

13. He's a public figure and lying to his public isn't kosher. n/t

[704wipes]

14. did he take a socialist ambulance ride to the ER?

if so he should pay for the entire cost of the ride

[Jamastiene]

24. Probably indigestion.

You know how Republicans are. They can't take the slightest bit of discomfort.

[NJmaverick]

5. Chest pains that turn out not to be a cardiac incident are quite common

no reason to think it was a hoax.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

9. Except that he is a lying shit-bag dope fiend.

[emilyg]

19. Agree. Anybody with chest

pain needs to do exactly what he did.

[WeDidIt]

6. Happens a lot

Most of the time, it's gas.

[Ken Burch]

7. Voted "Not Sure'. Don't you have to HAVE a heart to have a heart attack?

My suggestion: we should all send Rush get well cards with coupons from Outback Steakhouse.

[hobbit709]

10. +1 on the heart part.

[More_liberal_than_mo]

8. Actually his asshole

overloaded his mouth.

[FrenchieCat]

12. I said so here, while many were already dancing on his grave.....

I'm getting damn good that this presciense game.

So far, I'm 10-0 in correctly determining what's up
in the era of speculative pronouncements! :headbang:

16. A hoax with a hoax. That fits.

[rocktivity]

17. I understand that oxycontin can simulate heart attack symptoms.

:evilgrin:

[XanaDUer]

18. I am starting to fear I got all happy for nuthin'.

He's already politicizing this event.

[wryter2000]

20. Other

No, it wasn't a hoax. The pain was caused by oxycontin abuse. He even confessed to the doctors that he took "pain pills for my back."

[Kahuna]

22. Severe heartburn can make a person believe they are having a heart

attack. That happened to my brother. He spent several hours at the emergency room, only to find out that he had gas.

[Jamastiene]

23. It absolutely IS a hoax.

How can a man with no heart have a heart attack?
