Democratic Senator Tim Johnson of South Dakota is in the hospital...
....and it's not looking good. It was first reported as a stroke, because he was slurring his speech while giving a phone interview and was able to make it back to his office. Now the Associated Press is reporting that he has not suffered a stroke, but Johnson's staff could not confirm if he was conscious or not.
So, this is all very frightening, not just for the Johnson family who must be devastated at what has happened to their loved one right before Christmas, but also for the Senate democrats who were looking forward to being in power for the first time in a decade or so. (If Senator Johnson is unable to stay in his position, then the republican governor of his state gets to choose who he wants to replace him. He'll pick a republican for sure.) Yes, I know it sounds selfish for me to say that, but it pains my heart to think that Dick Cheney will be the tiebreaker vote if the Senate is in a 50-50 split...again...after all our country has been through. Not only that, can you imagine what the religious right must be thinking? I bet they're saying right now as you read this, "You know. God wants us to be in control. He doesn't want them 'libruls' to have their say in this country. He did this for us today!". I just know they are!
I don't want Dick Cheney to have any more power. He's had enough. I want the democrats to have their power that we all voted them in to have. Let's hope Senator Johnson can pull through and is able to come back to work in the near future.

yeah.. im really hoping for his fast and full recovery.
im hoping this is just a scare or a false alarm.

I'm backwards because I want him to be okay and I want the democrats to stay in control? Huh?
You're backwards, Bushboy, to think that anyone cares what you think!!!! The fact that you are here on my blog and talking to me shows how narcissist you are. I hate your guts (remember...I'm an Athiest and don't believe in your warmongering, hateful god, so I don't have to like you and I can hate you as much as I want).
I bet if I was a fly on the wall in any of the republican Senator's homes right now, they would be saying two things:
1) "It's such a shame what happened to Johnson. My heart goes out to his family"
and..
2) "Well, if Johnson doesn't pull through...we get another seat in the Senate and control will be ours!"
It's politics Bushboy. That's how it is. How many republicans years ago wept when JFK was assassinated? Or when MLK was killed? OR HOW BOUT WHEN PAUL WELLSTONE WAS MURDERED BY THE RIGHT AND GUYS LIKE RUSH LIMBAUGH SAID NOTHING GOOD ABOUT HIM AFTER HIS DEATH?
See? You're backwards. You live in a little bubble along with the rest of the 20% who love Bush. All republicans want is control and power and now that the democrats have it....THEY'RE REVELING IN JOHNSON'S SITUATION! Guaranteed!

Kayinmaine, the repugs will hope for his death, otherwise there is NO way the gutless assclowns can steal power back, as long as Tim Johnson is alive, the person the VOTERS choose is still in Office, that is the historical way the Senate has determined to operate, and unless 50 democratic senators decides to oust him and he is breathing there is NOTHING 49 repug Idiots can do about it.
That aside I hope he really recovers because he was a senator who did the job with out seeking the trappings of fame or power unlike some idiots who tried to usurp the horrors of Terri Schiavo.

I don't really believe the politics of this story matters like this.
The Democrats can politicize this for even more power later and the will of the people is clear.
I feel for all the people in South Dakota. They must feel shell shocked.

LOL Smoke. Who wants to bet ole Dr. Frist pronounces Johnson dead by the end of next week and when the family wants to keep him on life support, Frist will intervene again and exclaim, "We must pull the plug on this man whose brain is bleeding! He's not alive! He's a gonner!".
Spit.
And Clif...you are right on my friend! These assclowns all day (Fox News) have been joking around and winking all day about Johnson's condition. These assholes want him to be dead, but yet, Asshole Bushboy comes to my blog and thinks I'm the insensitive one! Hell, if Olympia Snowe were to drop dead right now it would be sad. It would be sad if her brain started bleeding too. But...you can't convince the Insensitive Party of that! Oh no! They love what is happening to the Johnson family and I'd like to take them all by the necks and smash their skulls together because that's how mad I am about it.
Spit.
Hello Fernando....I bet the whole state of South Dakota is upset right now. Like I said above, Mainers would be devastated if Olympia Snowe were to undergo what Johnson has had to endure this week. My favorite Aunt died from this. She was scraping her car off from snow (we had had a huge snowstorm that night) and she collapsed in her driveway in the snow with the ice scraper still in her hand when the plow truck guys found her. She was alive but her brain was toast. The doctors said it was the worst case they had ever seen. They said it looked like her brain had exploded! It was so freaking traumatic for our family. She was only 57 when it happened.
I'm pissed off at the right wing today more than I was yesterday if you can't tell!!!
