Rush will be back this week

From this morning's Tom Taylor column...

"Limbaugh will be making guest appearances on his show today and tomorrow. Syndicator Premiere says he’ll take it easy and won’t be back to his radio show full time until Wednesday...Rush says everything’s fine, health-wise. He staged a press conference at the hospital on Friday to announce that his heart’s okay and that “the angiogram showed literally no heart disease or arterial disease whatsoever.” That’s a good thing for a 58-year-old guy who’s a dedicated cigar smoker, much less somebody who’s had a few previous health scares like his deafness in 2001 and the prescription pill mess a couple of years later. Rush says he’s not using painkillers now, though he is taking the anti-inflammatory drug prednisone. (Some folks think the prednisone could’ve produced the chest-pain symptoms.) Rush says “there’s nothing wrong with the American healthcare system”, based on his recent experience. You’d certainly hope that a guy who banked a $100 million signing bonus last Summer can get decent medical attention, right?"

I'm glad the guy's not dead or dying (it would have been a huge blow to the radio industry), but it sure didn't take long for me to hate him again.
