I know how Kerry is going to counter..... He is going to say John Edwards "Channeled" Chris.
No it doesn't
. Kerry is just using Reeve to push his agenda.
What a lowly man Kerry is.
IMO, Reeve's did not have the magnitude of stardom that all of the specials and tributes seem to imply. Maybe I'm out of the loop.
My comment is not concerning what Reeve deserves, but about what the MSM seems to be exploiting for political purposes.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Paralysed film actor Christopher Reeve, who played Superman, has died of heart failure, a spokesman says.
Reeve publicist Wesley Combs told reporters the American actor, 52, died in a New York hospital on Sunday.
He said in a statement Reeve went into a coma on Saturday after suffering a heart attack at his home during treatment for a pressure wound.
"The wound had become severely infected...Reeve was admitted to Northern Westchester Hospital on Saturday evening and never regained consciousness," the statement said on Monday.
Reeve has been confined to a wheelchair after suffering multiple injuries, including two shattered neck vertebrae, when he was thrown from his horse at an equestrian event in 1995.

Still in your pajamas this morning?
Terri Schiavo just text-messaged this to my phone: "John Kerry is a lying jackass."
Reuters is so suspect that I feel they are an unreliable source. After all, these are the folks that call terrorists who behead people militants.
Someone with an infection so bad to cause a coma and heart attack isn't going to be up to dishing out campaign slogans. Even if he were lucid or strong enough and not being pumped with medication, it would be his wife or caretaker who would be dialing and leaving a message if not making an actual person to person contact before holding the phone for Reeve or getting him to the speaker phone.
Let's stay on this story because if CNN put this out it's big.
Kerry was confusing a call from 'Reeve' with a call from 'Jeeves'!
Ah, so now it's a "long" message. Wow, Reeve really was Superman. To leave a long message when it's difficult for him to talk when he's healthy.
The link from #120 is still good.

There was a report quoted that he did not regain consciouness after being taken to the hospital. Thursday is very much in play.
No problem.
Moi Kerri loaned his cell phone to General Wesley Clark, who sent it back in time with his time traveling machine.
Once the phone was back in time when CR was still alive and alert, it dialed CR and asked him to call back supporting Kerry. So CR did.
Then, Clark's magical time traveling machine brought Kerry's cell phone back to the future or is it the present with CR's message on it.
bootyist monk it is time to repost your picture of Kerry on the back of Superman!
I get 879 results for --> reeve coma saturday
Two of the three Thursday results refer to an action by the House of Reps. The other refers to a high school football game. Looks like Reeve fell into the coma on Saturday.
Agree. We need the MSM to get to the bottom of this, but I am not holding my breath.
Thursday may be in play, but there needs to be some serious, hard core, indisputable proof on this matter before FReepers and others run off to the media with phone calls, emails, letters to the editor, etc... on this.
The one I read doesn't say what day he fell into a coma. Did they change it?
I'm surprised he hasn't already sued the HORSE.
