I'd hate to see him die from heart disease... but how about syphilis? :) I know a few people (Ron Brown, Vince Foster, Waco victims, etc.) that are watching his recovery with great interest. I'm SURE their prayers, and the prayers of their families are with him.
Funny you should mention Ron Brown. It was just pointed out by Chickenhawk Medved that Bush has appointed more prominent African-Americans to high posts than any other president, which is true. When he said it, I thought of Clinton and the highest black he appointed, and I think it was Brown, who held only a lower-level cabinet position ... before, as some reports indicate, he wound up with a bullet in his skull on the way down.
