[LSparkle]

1. Thank God!!!

[Radio_Lady]

37. WHAT? He had brain surgery on Wednesday and in critical condition today.

If this is a live show, she is not getting accurate news information.

(Randi Rhodes airs in Portland at 3 PM -- 6 PM.)

[Radio_Lady]

40. SORRY, THIS OP IS OBSOLETE. It's from yesterday. Check for other threads.

[jgraz]

2. Thank god

I can now stop praying and re-adopt atheism.

[Lex]

4. LOL!

:rofl:

[originalpckelly]

9. Fellow fair-weather Christian here as well...

in moments like that most people will try anything to do the trick. :-)

[rodeodance]

14. Aprodite got a few calls from me.

[rodeodance]

3. she said he will undergo a complete medial evaluation later. but sounds

good for now.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

7. Excellent news

Thanks for the update.

[rodeodance]

5. this is a reminder of how tenuious our grip on the Senate IS (Lieberman

comes to mind)

[MzNov]

30. my thoughts exactly.

[seashorelady]

33. I live in Ct

Worry about that all the time. We know what he is capable of.

[newyawker99]

35. Hi seashorelady!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[WI_DEM]

6. Well that is certainly good news, but I hope he gets a complete checkup

we need our people to take care of themselves. I worry about Byrd whose 88! hopefully he can hang on like Strom did.

[MADem]

16. Well, if the worst befell dear old "Constitution" Byrd, at least the state governor is a Democrat!

The appointed successor would be of like mind. And party. The election would be another matter, but I'm guessing we've got the momentum...

[leftchick]

8. My son's teacher had a mild stroke last year

she came out just fine and is still teaching and looks and feels great. She is in her early fifties.

[blondeatlast]

22. I had a mild stroke last year as well. I feel wonderful and never looked

better. In fact, last summer I went to Europe and have never before been out of the country (I'm in my forties).

Even if he did have a stroke, he can do just fine.

[Deep13]

10. Out and well or out in a bag?????!!!

Never mind, just read further down. Whew. That was just a little too close for me.

[rodeodance]

12. she had no details.

[karlrschneider]

11. Kick for this apparent good news! (CNN hasn't mentiioned it AFAICT)

:eyes:

:kick:

[twilight_sailing]

13. Ah, another sad day in Freeperville

[rodeodance]

20. lots of tears no doubt

[twilight_sailing]

21. and the winner is

Conservative Dude from Free Republic!

"I actually don't think we should pray for his recovery.
I think we should pray for God either to convert him to the cause of righteousness, or...that God would remove him from any position of influence whereby he can harm our country. Perhaps someone has already been praying that. I think that is called imprecatory prayer. Of course we should be praying that about a lot of the politicians that harm our country, but, it seems especially appropriate now that Johnson is physically vulnerable.
That's just the way I see it.

Imprecatory prayer: To pray for evil or misfortune (malediction, anathema, execration)

Way to go Conservative Dude! You are the craziest bastard at FR today!

[SoCalDem]

25. and yet Strom was ...oh well .. sad little freepers.. n/t

[Deep13]

28. Because God gives a shit about your opinion!

:evilgrin:

[roguevalley]

32. a god of love would never make this happen. this conservative dude

is a shithead.

[Deep13]

27. You mean Jesus isn't coming?!

BTW- I mean the Fundy Jesus who is coming to end the world and cast us all into the lake of fire, not the normal Christian Jesus who wants us all to get along.

[durrrty libby]

15. Good for him, but geez we must get a stronger hold

on things.
We're not even in yet and we almost lost it

:freak: :freak: :freak:

[MADem]

17. Yeah, let's start with FOOD TASTERS for all the Democratic Senators!!!

Hey, can't be too careful...if Pootie Poot's pack can Polonium people, who's to say someone on the right might not go off the page with the rat poison?

[durrrty libby]

26. Food tasters? Who in their right mind would want that job?

The dems need to be frugal and pack their own lunches

or drink stuff like slim-fast

:toast: :hi: :loveya:

[Mme. Defarge]

31. That suggestion

isn't all that farfetched! Never forget the unsolved Anthrax mystery.

[jgraz]

18. I still am half-expecting "something" to keep the Dems from taking control

This just fed into my fears. Hopefully, Unca Dick won't get any ideas from this event.

[Ha Ha Ha Oh Wow]

19. i think i had a stroke

thinking about the possibilities of this going the wrong way

[RamboLiberal]

23. Till I hear officially I'm doubting he's out this quick

With a senator I'd expect he's still undergoing tests. If I'm wrong, my apologies.

[snowbear]

24. Why on earth would they already be releasing him?

Even if it was minor?

CNN just said he was still in the hospital...

Another thread on here says he's in the ICU and it's serious...

Confusing info all over the place!!

[MADem]

29. He is being checked out, not he has checked out--that is the confusion, I think

See this story-- http://www.wtvm.com/Global/story.asp?S=5810889&nav=8fap

CAPITOL HILL South Dakota Democratic Senator Tim Johnson is being checked out at a Washington hospital after suffering a possible stroke.

A statement issued by his office said he's been taken to George Washington University Hospital, where he is undergoing a comprehensive evaluation by the stroke team.

Johnson turns 60 later this month.

If he were to become unable to serve, it could halt the scheduled Democratic takeover of the Senate. South Dakota's governor, who would appoint any temporary replacement, is a Republican.

Democrats are scheduled to hold a narrow 51-to-49 margin as a result of last month's election.

Johnson is in his second term and is one of the more reserved members of the Senate, rarely taking center stage at news conferences.

[cwydro]

34. No, he's in critical condition

[xultar]

36. Boy, was she ever wrong on this one.

[Radio_Lady]

38. Is there a procedure for locking day old threads that contain obsolete information?

[Zynx]

39. The Alert tab

[Fenris]

41. Locking.
