Just a quick question...

I was reading about this on another site and someone mentioned that Kerry had had prostate surgery recently, and that this surgery cause impotence. Does anyone know when he got this surgery and does it really cause impotence and if so, how long does it last?

It CAN cause impotence........yes, it's permanent. No, it doesn't happen all the time, but it's a known risk of such surgery. No, I haven't had it..........thank God.

Apparently the story is at least four years old according to Drudge. Gore knew about and his shyed away from making Kerry his running mate based on this.

If caught early, the guy's fine. Kerry has an "extra special " health care package. He's a politician. We pay for everything he wants.
