Senator Johnson Alive & Doing Fine

To all of you fascist fundie freeper wingnuts out there, anxious to bury Sen. Johnson and install Trent Lott as Senate Majority Leader before the body is cold:

Irony Alert!

Adm. John Eisold, attending physician of the U.S. Capitol, told CNN that Johnson had "an intracerebral bleed caused by a congenital arteriovenous malformation. He underwent successful surgery to evacuate the blood and stabilize the malformation."

"It is premature to determine whether further surgery will be required or to assess any long term prognosis," Eisold said.

Barbara Johnson, wife of Sen. Johnson, said, "The Johnson family is encouraged and optimistic. They are grateful for the prayers and good wishes of friends, supporters and South Dakotans. They are especially grateful for the work of the doctors and all medical personnel and GWU hospital." --snip--

"It transpired very fast," she said, adding the senator's staff was shaken by the incident.

But, she said of the hospital, "We keep reminding ourselves, this is where they take Dick Cheney."

By the way, do you honestly think we'd let a little thing like this undo the votes of the entire nation? As long as Johnson can blink one damned eye, he's on the job. Jesse Helms and Ol' Strom were several bricks short of full loads, and you didn't call for them to be replaced, did you, Asshats?


Best bar bet in the world: Delilah didn't do it.
