Rush Limbaugh Hospitalized

Rush, on vacation in Hawaii, was taken to the hospital this afternoon with chest pains and is now listed in serious condition. Let us all pray for his health and a speedy recovery.

I was going to end the post with that single paragraph, but I made the mistake of glancing at the comments to the post on TMZ. If you wish to know the difference between today's left and the right, compare how the right reacted to the illness and death of Ted Kennedy with how the left is acting in response to Rush's apparent heart attack:

Here are some of the comments on a random page at TMZ:

1. good riddance!

10. Boo-hoo. I don't wish ill on him, but the fool has been living an unhealthy life for a long time as though personal responsibility does not exist for himself--just for other people. If you live like an idiot, this is what happens, and this will be the price you pay.

Personal accountability, Limbaugh. Can you handle it now?

13. LMFAO @ James. I was kind of thinking the same thing, but didn't want to seem tacky by putting it into words. I wonder if 2009 will take one more celebrity before the year ends? Gosh it's been a rough year for celebs.

Hmmm, these are the truly classless and crass people who form our modern "progressives." Anyone want to bet that not a single one of these people celebrating Rush's sickness and rooting for his death has ever listened to an hour of his shows? I wonder at the subculture that sustains these moronic zombies and what our public schools of this era must have done to produce them?
