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.
Bears repeating..
sw
Did his homosexual buddy "pull the plug" in the end??
I refuse to recognize this as a marriage. There is no such thing. You don't change a definition to suit personal whims.
Dropped out of BReaking News for some reason????
Right, it is bizarre. Also, collapse we could understand but they report 'accident'?
"I hope his every waking moment was a torrent of indescribale pain and suffering..." Plankton
IIRC Robert Atkins of the Atkins Diet fame died in a similar fashion...
All Hail Plankton!!!
Just the opposite, IMHO.
After the person dies, the gloves come off.
But enough about "other" favorite pastimes of the homosexual community...
NO cheers, unfortunately.
Pray for his soul. Pray for his survivors.
But never lose sight of the fact that Bubba was 52 (the same age as Foley) when Monica "gave at the office".
I think this whole thing will boil down to "personal privacy" and Hillary will (via one of her bootlickers) propose the legislation. That'll keep Bubba's perversions out of the press in 2007.
The autopsy should be easy...Doc won't even have to cut to get a look inside.
Friday, Sept 29, Mark Foley resigns and story breaks
Tuesday, Oct 3, Gary Studds has collapse (from blood clot in lung) while walking dog.
Sunday, Oct 8, Chris Wallaces appologizes for something he said and reports "Gary Studds to be alive and well" [and does NOT report that Studds was hospitalized]
Saturday, Oct 14Gary Studds dies in the hosptital of complications.
I know clots in the lungs are not a symptom of this, but...
has anyone checked Studds' system for ricin?
Convenient timing, I would say.
Clearly the work of Karl Rove.....mmwuuhaahhhaaahhh...
Atkins was on an icy street....thus some explanation for the fall and head trauma. I have yet to hear any such explanation for a 69 year old man out on a fall day in Boston. I am suspicious.
A blood clot is more believable as a cause of death.
Timing is suspicious.
"This was the cause of his death. I guess that puts to bed my wild speculation."
Not mine...lol. i am riveting the tinfoil to my head as we speak..nobody is taking it off!!
eeewwwww! That is so disgusting. It's too bad he met God as a practicing homosexual.
My engineer husband doesn't get do-overs, and it galls me that the press can screw up such a simple story to the point that one thinks that there is something suspicious about the death.
Although I did like the idea of checking him for ricin. That shows a wonderfully suspicious mind, something which is a necessity this day.
