Former Massachsuetts Congressman Gerry Studds has died.

The 69-year-old Studds died this morning at Boston Univesrity Medical Center.

He'd been hospitalized after sustaining head injuries from an accident while walking his dog.

Studds was a ranking member of the House Democratic leadership and advocated for New England fishermen and the ocean environment.

studds, who grew up in Cohasset, was the first openly gay person elected to Congress. He served from 1973 to 1997.

He is survived by his husband, Dean Hara. the couple was among the first same sex couples to be legally married in Massachusetts.

thanks for the link.

Which is why he had to get the kid drunk and then have anal sex with him. Why he had to take him on a trip to have sex with him. Sorry, not buying what your selling. The guy was a dirtbag, good riddance.

"I know he was a democrat, but sex with a minor is a crime. So why wasn't Studds prosecuted? "

Not sure, but it may have been due to the age of consent being 16 in DC. Maybe it's time for DC to raise the age of consent.

I read that. I meant I wanted to know what it was that Wallace had originally reported exactly. It appears from his apology that he reported the Congressman to be dead.

But the fact that he apologized and reported him to be "alive and well" that was also wrong.

Studds fell unconscious Oct. 3 because of what doctors later determined was a blood clot in his lung, Dean Hara said. Studds regained consciousness, remained in the hospital, and seemed to be improving. He was scheduled to be transferred to a rehabilitation center, but his condition deteriorated Friday and he died at about 1:30 a.m. Saturday, Hara said.

Last Sunday would have been Oct. 8th and Studd's had been in the hospital with a life threatening condition on Oct. 3rd, making the news heard by Chris Wallace that Studd's was gravely ill completely plausible.

What is Fort Mercy Park? A place where gays hang out? They do love those parks it seems...(rolling eyes)

This is a job for Miss Marple.

"Did you come across any recent pictures?"

No.

Clearly another case of Dinosaur media protecting a RAT.

Should have read "porking", not "walking".

I'm sure someone loved him, and is experiencing grief over his passing...

No doubt a bathhouse full of tears somewhere this fine morning.

"...head injuries from an accident while walking his dog"

?

[Dane]

But also what about the intitial MSM media reports that Studds was walking his dog.

How could Studds do that, when he was supposedly in a rehabiltation center.

Something smells and it would be my guess Studds's "husband" is behind this.

Fort Marcy Park is where Vincent Foster's body was found.

I found a site called Sweetness & Light. (This is in the Hospital) "Studds fell unconscious Oct. 3......" He remained unconscious, then came to and was supposed to go to a rehab center. But on Friday, he got worse and died 1:30 am Saturday.

It appears that no one has established WHEN the actual time of the accident occurred, WHEN he actually went to the hospital and WHO was with him when he died. So did his partner have the right to "pull the plug"??

People are talking about govt benefits but look at it from the "pull the plug" angle. That's what I'd like to know.

Round up the usual suspects.

[A Citizen Reporter]

If you go back to the link at #210, I believe that story states that he had his initial collapse while walking his dog, on Oct 3.

The fact the the media first reported the dog walking collapse, today, 11 days later, is bizarre.

[buccaneer81]

What about Rep.B.Franks (D-Mass). I wonder what he must be thinking right now ?

He's now the queer emeritus of Massachusetts.

But the Rats can look on the bright side, at least Studds can still vote in next month's election.

[Dane]

Still nothing about Studd's passing on Google's "front page" news at appx. 11;24 EDT(10/14/06).
