Kind of ironic that he would go from playing Superman to looking like Lex Luthor (who was wheelchair bound at one point BTW)
Anyway, with his wife confirming the phone call to Kerry on the 9th I think we better drop the claim that Kerry was lying.

The attendance at a hockey game sure seems to clinch that his decline was swift. Most people with sepsis take a while to die, and they are not out and about.
FWIW, she doesn't say that Reeve talked with Kerry; she says that he left him a long phone message.
no offsense to anyone, but CReeves was not my hero...tho Im sure he was to many... he worked for activism on spinal cord injuries only after he, himself had one...but still thats good of course....BUT, the fact he was a Kerry man, sheesh, real telling of his inner core to me...
and he was a multimillonaire....lots of folks would do more for research if they had the money....thats not laudable..
Why am I not surprised that the Reeve memorial service is scheduled for the 29th, right before the election. Let's hope the Demonrats turn it into Wellstone II.
So the report that he was comatose Thurday is not true? Or is this just a cover story for kerry by re-writing reeve's last days?
"Anyway, with his wife confirming the phone call to Kerry on the 9th I think we better drop the claim that Kerry was lying."
But Edwards claim that "when John Kerry is President, people like Christopher Reeve and people in wheelchairs will walk" is fair game.
Make sure you work that one in Mrs. Reeve. In her first interview, she praises a Presidential candidate. No hidden agenda there.
I agree that it's a somewhat petty issue, but didn't Kerry say that he SPOKE WITH Reeve on the phone? According to this Story, Reeve merely left Kerry a message. If this is the case, then it's just one more example of Kerry embellishing facts to prop up his image.
It's unbelieveable that Dana Reeve would use her husband's death to stump for Kerry. Tacky. Reeve put up a valiant struggle and I do feel terrible about what happened to him. But the fact is that he was engaging in a dangerous and rather frivolous sport when he was injured.
Reeve's wife said that he "left a message" with sKerry. sKerry said that they spoke with each other. Reeve calling and leaving a message to the effect of, "glad you brought up stem cell research," is very different than sKerry's version of things. I think there is some spin going on here, I notice sKerry has dropped the issue AFTER it came out that he may have stretched the truth a bit.
In the name of the most Holy Appeals Court Chief Justice, I, Silky Pony Edwards call for you Superman to come out of your tomb and walk. We have stem cells for you that will retore you and help you fly again. Praise lawsuits!
For sure ... I mean ... I mean ... anyone who can write so eloquently about her dead husband gobbling up turkey, must be telling the truth.
On the other hand ... who really cares?
And she would tell the truth?
As a child Superman to me was George Reeves even though he had died of gunshot before I had ever seen him on the tube. Despite the low budget I enjoyed the 50s version more.
I always felt sorry for him, and hope he's in a better place now, but the fact remains he, and people like him, would kill a baby just so they could walk again.
The definition of selfishness, imo.
"He left a long phone message for Senator John Kerry lending his support and encouragement."
It's good that Bush supporters did not make a big thing about Kerry's call reference in the second debate.
I have nothing against the man nor against his family because of their politics.
I wonder what efforts were influenced either way, on the matter of umbilical stem cell research, and what views about such research, that he or his wife might have had, and she may continue to have.
I had wished, for some time, that "if I had to do it all over again," I would have gone into medical research on the problem; and, I tend to follow what is developing.
In the early 1980's, I was at Wright State Univ. near Wright-Patterson A.F.B. outside of Dayton, OH, when Dr. Petrofsky, Ph.D. was working up the crude details of what later became an exercise machine for paraplegics. His most promising pupil/patient was Nan Davis. She did get up and walk, with the contraption connected to her.
Yet, while I am in favor, for now, of umbilical stem cell research, I wonder about its possibilities.
What will the fans of stem cell research in general, embryonic or umbilical, do, if this should happen:
Suppose that somebody comes up with the cure for death. That's right. An injection of magical elixr derived from stem cell research, if administered within 4 hours, actually will bring a person back to life. Now the patient's brain is gone, but they are alive.
Then, there's the injection that regenerates brain and nerve cells; and with it, the bio-gizmo that feeds back to the brain, your "taped archive" of what you knew.
There you are, aren't you(?).
Now, don't suppose this part: "They" are going to try, if "they" have not already.
If they are intent on embryo clone factories, what will stop them from Frankenstein factories?
Happy Halloween.
Incredibly exasperating. All Dana's syrupy thought concerning Reeve's support of Kerry who would destroy our country and rely on Paris to tell us what to do. Paris, who has told Kerry and us that they won't sent troops to Iraq even if Kerry wins. Poor Reeve. An idiot to the end.
