HONOLULU — Conservative talk radio show host Rush Limbaugh plans to hold a news conference at the Hawaii hospital where he was admitted after experiencing chest pains.

Limbaugh will be speaking today at The Queen’s Medical Center at 1 p.m. Pacific time.

Limbaugh was rushed to the hospital Wednesday from the Hawaii resort where he was vacationing. A statement Thursday from Queen’s said he was resting comfortably in “good spirits.”

George Mason University economics professor Walter E. Williams, who did vacation relief for Limbaugh on the three-hour show, said the chest pains could be an indicator of a cardiac event, although the cause hasn’t been determined.
