Talk show host Rush Limbaugh in hospital in Hawaii


The right-wing talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been taken to hospital in Hawaii after experiencing chest pains, say reports.


Hawaiian media said he was taken from the hotel, where he was staying while on holiday, in a serious condition.

But a statement posted on Mr Limbaugh's website said he was now "resting comfortably" in hospital in Honolulu.

Mr Limbaugh, 58, is highly influential in the US and his radio show is one of the most popular in the country.

It is broadcast on some 600 radio stations across the country and heard by more than 14 million people every week.

Mr Limbaugh, who is seen by some as as the unofficial voice of the US Republican party, has been a vocal critic of US President Barack Obama and is known for his fiery lambasting of Democratic politicians and policies.
