Rush Limbaugh talks to reporters after the power emanating from the birthplace of "The One" heals his hateful little heart. Or something like that.

A couple of things about this news conference that just don't seem right.

First of all I am not convinced that is in fact Rush Limbaugh. He almost seems reasonable and that does not seem at all like the Rush that I know and loathe.

Second this "Rush Limbaugh" guy says that he was "treated to the BEST health care the world has to offer" and then claims that Hawaii is part of the United States of America which all true followers of his program, and other teabaggers, know is false. As they well know, Hawaii is NOT part of America but rather so close to Kenya that it very difficult to tell exactly which infants might have been born in which country.

What's more the children born in "Kenawaii" grow up to be socialist, Marxist, fascists, and how can THOSE people possible know how to care for real red blooded Americans? Like I said, this entire news conference seems a little hinky to me.

I also like how Rush makes the claim that he did not receive any kind of special treatment and that ANYBODY would have received the same top notch medical care that he received. Which of course is true if they also arrived by limousine, and had a Chief of Staff throwing fistfuls of cash at the doctor's while pleading "Please save Big Daddy! He is my whole world!"

No seriously, Rush is correct that anybody can receive the best of care in American hospitals. What he fails to understand, or at least pretends not to understand, is that the same care that he just received would bankrupt the average American who did not have access to his top of the line medical insurance. Sure we would have our life saved, but then we would have to spend the rest of it in servitude to bill collectors demanding payment for tens of thousands of dollars in medical treatment.

By the way as he is thanking the doctor standing next to him, does anybody else read her expression as thinking "If only I could have found a loophole in that whole Hippocratic Oath thing"? Or is that just me?
