Ok, I am not going to dispute when Chris Reeves did or did not slip into a coma (nor when he suffered cardiac arrest).

But that's the whole point of this blog story, that Reeve was in a coma when Kerry said he got the call.

And, who has the New York Times endorsed and supported throughout this political season?

Guess they can't embarass their candidate.

Sorry that's too much tinfoil look at the links I posted at #155. There are no other sources that put Reeve in a coma on Thursday and almost 900 that do on Saturday. Does the New York Times own all 900?

Occam's razor says that WHO got it wrong and has corrected their error. They should acknowledge it though.

I agree with you sentiments and you should note that I drew specific attention to that in my post. In fact, my post (and graphics) was to point that WHOTV is changing the stories without the acknowledgement of an error.

My point about the NYT has nothing to do with the other 900 sources, just the WHOTV source, which as you (and I) have noted does not acknowledge the change they made.

As far as when Chris Reeves slipped into a coma, I'm only reading what I am reading and it appears that Saturday was when he either had the cardiac arrest or slipped into a coma (whichever was first). But, like others, I find it hard to believe that Chris Reeves was "enthused" (John Kerry's words) when he, reportedly, has a systemic (which I think means whole body, not just an isolated area) infection. But, I'm not a doctor, so I don't know.

But, you know what...

...we shouldn't be talking about any of this.

The guy should have said, "Look, I knew him. I'm sad he's gone. I don't want to make a political statement on his death". To me, that would have (rightfully) earned him some (not much, but some) respect.

But, as most of us have stated several times now, that Senator Kerry can't even let a man pass on without making political hay out of it.

So the 900 that had him in a coma on sat. have him making calls from the coma ward?

Me thinks Kerry has been hanging out with Al Gore, his buddy that invented the internet.
