Posted on 08/19/2008 11:33:26 PM PDT by John W

Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones was admitted to Huron Hospital in East Cleveland Tuesday tonight.

The family requested that the hospital not release any information about her condition.

The Cleveland Heights police department is to put out a news release in the morning about the incident.

WOIO Channel 19 is reporting that Tubbs Jones was behind the wheel of a car moving fast in Cleveland Heights. Police tried to pull her over but she was unconscious.

Nicole Williams, spokeswoman for the 11th District congresswoman, had no information about the incident.

It would be Obama’s people to pin this on, if one was conspiracy minded.

Tubbs Jones has been the 2nd most vocal African American Congressperson supporting H Clinton, just behind Rangel.

She was one of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's biggest supporters during the primaries. She threw her support to Barack Obama in June.

She was for Hillary before she was against her.

Other RAT Super-Delegates better watch their backs. First Dianne Feinstein broke her ankle. Now, STJones had this freak accident. Cue the Twilight Zone theme here.

From FoxNews: U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, one of Hillary Clinton’s biggest supporters during the primaries, remained unconscious Wednesday in a Cleveland area hospital after being transported there Tuesday night.”

Yet another HRC supporter in two days out of convention.

That car must have some kind of auto pilot.

A car in proper alignment can go quite far in a straight line without being steered. If she had some kind of ischemic attack or diabetic stroke, while driving straight forward, the story is quite plausible.

Prayers up for her and her family and friends.

So sad.

It is so difficult to lose someone suddenly.

Just no time to prepare for the change.

Then theres Bernie Mac, Isaac Hayes and the sax player from Dave Matthews Band. That’s that 3. Hopefully there isn’t a 3 for politicians.

Is Hillary throwing her own key supporters under the bus in exchange for favors from Barry-O?

Did she work a deal and had to off them?

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Craig Livingstone?

I was being sarcastic. I'm a little sorry about it this point, as I didn't know the real condition of Jones.

Lately, around these parts some Democratic politicians have been caught driving under the influence of one thing or another.
