What he meant????


"My greatest regret is that I couldn't make of the war in Iraq, what I did with the war in Vietnam.

update for Tonk! Looks like it was 3:11 p.m., est


"Outline of Mr.Tonkin's health issues.
Please keep in mind that we're not medical experts and if we get something wrong, we're learning as we go.
Apologies in advance.
Last Friday, Mr. Tonkin was at the Chiropractor for a sore shoulder issue. While there, he had a heart attack and subsequent
stroke. Thank you God that he was at the Chiropractor for an ongoing shoulder issue and not at home.
If you know Mr.Tonkin, he would have just ignored it and slept on it until the morning.

We found out yesterday the extent of what had happened to his body.

Here's the rundown:
(Again, please keep in mind our medical expert ineptness.)

--massive heart attack
--Ischemic Stroke

*We believe this is the type of stroke he had because of other items we are about to detail.

--Artery to the brain was blocked/clogged.

--Clots in his neck.

--He was in CCU and they were hoping to move him to NCU soon.

--Bleeding ulcers

--Blood pressure is high.
*As we were told elsewhere, they cannot give him blood thinners right now.

---

Update from his business partner:

He spoke to Mr.Tonkin on the phone earlier this morning.
He says Mr.Tonkin's speech is slow, but clear.
He now has some movement.
Please pray for his eye sight that it is fully restored.


If we've been told correctly, this will be a long journey ahead for him.
Please keep him and his family in your prayers.
We all greatly appreciate all the prayers, thoughts, sentiments, and concern from all those online.

We'll try to update everyone when we get more information and permission to do so.

Also, thank you to a very special FReeper who has seen Mr.Tonkin personally and has reported back that he's starting to get better.

Apologies for anyone we've missed! Thank you to StarCMC and Brad's Gramma for trying to get everyone's name from the thread."

John F'n's mentor is campaigning against a fellow who has little chance to oust Kennedy...but he just might make a dent in the Kennedy mystique...

Ken Chase for Senate

He will be on Hannity and Colmes tonight, and Hannity is going to encourage him to start talking about Mary Jo like Chris Shays did the other day ("well at least Foley didn't KILL somebody", in response to Kennedy's screed...)

Ah, for the good ol' Clintoon days, when terrorists were just a nuisance. Great graphic!

Amazing that his having committed TREASON is not his greatest regret. B@stard needs to be handed a blindfold and stood against a wall.

I believe my hand beats yours--all you have is a pair of losers...

His greatest regret was losing in 2004.

Later his greatest regret will be losing in 2008!

J F'en Kerry is not a comedian but he sure is a big joke
