Fux News will be very disappointed.
December 14th, 2006 at 2:46 pmPut away the champagne Neil, Bill, Sean; your new majority just slipped away again!
Please hold off on the Bill Frist-esque determinations of “looking good.” Harry Reid says “good.” Karl Rove says “hanging on by a thread.” This is speculation not needed.
December 14th, 2006 at 2:48 pmGood health to you, Senator Johnson.
December 14th, 2006 at 2:51 pmGet well soon.
Here’s wishing Tim Johnson a speedy recovery.
December 14th, 2006 at 2:53 pmTo be fair and balanced, we need a Republican to go look at him, escorted of course.
December 14th, 2006 at 2:57 pmI was just making myself smart about AVM. I wish Tim Johnson the best and a speedy recovery. He will be back and those who wished him dead will suffer. Republicans suck. Big time.
December 14th, 2006 at 3:00 pmI hope he make a full recovery.
December 14th, 2006 at 3:05 pmREMOVE HIS FEEDING TUBE!
Oh wait. Wrong person, right?
December 14th, 2006 at 3:10 pm@Anonymous By Choice:
Senator Johnson is not brain dead; you are.
December 14th, 2006 at 3:16 pmdemocratic senators:
rule one: hire foodtesters.
rule two: never eat with republicans
December 14th, 2006 at 3:22 pmHarry Reid is the incoming “Senate” Majority Leader, not “House”.
December 14th, 2006 at 3:29 pmDon’t post this comment, just make the correction.
The senate seat from South Dakota will remain occupied by Senator Johnson until he either resigns or dies. Time to recovery does not have an impact on his occupying this Senate seat. If it takes two years for Senator Johnson to recover, than that’s what it takes. The Senate cannot remove him from office. So it remains – 51/49 favor the Dems.
December 14th, 2006 at 3:34 pmTo all Reiki practictioners – let us send Reiki to Senator Johnson for his good recovery.
December 14th, 2006 at 3:35 pmPraying for Senator Johnson down here in New Mexico..
December 14th, 2006 at 3:47 pmGet well, big guy, we need you like we never needed anyone before!
December 14th, 2006 at 3:54 pmGet well soon, Senator Johnson. Hurry back to the US Senate. Your family needs you, your friends need you, your constituents need you, your Senate colleagues need you, and the United States of America needs you.

December 14th, 2006 at 4:25 pmMy best to you, Sen Johnson.
December 14th, 2006 at 4:26 pmBlessings to you and you’re family Sen Johnson.
December 14th, 2006 at 4:41 pmOh dear, doesn’t anybody remember what happened last time a senator (Frist?) said somebody in the hospital looked okay?
Health, luck & the blessings of Caesar Rodney (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesar_Rodney) to the sentor.

My wife’s family were all diehard Repubs when I married her last year.
Since then, I’ve made it my mission to pry their eyes open…this makes for lively conversation at holiday gatherings. :)
I’m proud to say that they all consider themselves Independents now, at least.
