ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI-myFOXstl.com) -- Late Wednesday night, former New York governor and Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani went to Barnes-Jewish hospital after feeling ill.

Giuliani had traveled across Missouri Wednesday by car after mechanical problems on his aircraft left him without a plane for his stumping.

The statement from the Giuliani campaign reads:

"ST. LOUIS - Rudy Giuliani Communications Director Katie Levinson released the following statement this morning:

Earlier today, Mayor Giuliani experienced flu-like symptoms campaigning in Missouri. The symptoms worsened as the day wore on and shortly after taking off from Chesterfield, Missouri for New York the Mayor became uncomfortable enough that our plane returned to the airport in Chesterfield. To be on the safe side, the Mayor consulted with his personal physician in New York and made the decision to go to the Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis for routine tests.

"The Mayor will spend the night in St. Louis and we will provide another update in the morning."

Rudy should’ve gotten his flu shot. He’s an old man. He’s not invincible.

******I dunno. Maybe Mike Huckabee could be summoned to lay hands on Guiliani.*******

Just curious-—is Huckabee from San Francisco. I hope not for Rudy’s sake.

Maybe. Those Primitive Baptists are very adept at snake-handling.

How many FReepers on this thread offered prayers for Rudy Giuliani? Well, inspite of NO prayers...Rudy is back on the campaign trail. ;o)

[La Enchiladita]

He’s back and I say, God love him for even WANTING the job.
Unusual for FReepers to not offer prayers, isn’t it?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Why didn’t Judy the Nurse save him?

[shield]

It is...IF Rudy wins the nomination...they’ll be wailing and gnashing of teeth here at FR...I intend to support whomever wins the Republican nomination...

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Even though you want it to appear that those of us who do not support Rooty would wish him ill, that is not the case.

However, I did offer a prayer for the both of you.

[shield]

No need to...I’m in great shape with Our Lord...

[La Enchiladita]

I see your prayer for Rudy in post #167. Yeah, right.

[La Enchiladita]

Oh yeah, and some of the “praying” I saw on this thread was snarky and self-serving. I guarantee the ultimate nominee will not be to the liking of this forum and won’t it be a sight! I will vote Republican too.

[shield]

I guarantee the ultimate nominee will not be to the liking of this forum and won’t it be a sight!

Yes, indeed it surely will. When I think of it...all I can do is laugh... ;o) [hope they don't act like moonbats]

You can post to me when you learn how to spell in English.

[G8 Diplomat]

Check him for Polonium 28. And Anthrax.

I believe you mean polonium-210.

Heck, why not bird flu while we're at it.

[Ancient Drive]

flu-like symptoms = just a bad night

[CottonBall]

Weenie. I’ve never gone to a hospital because of flu-like symptoms I just tough it out. Like a man.

Perhaps it's something more serious and they are using the vague 'flu-like symptoms' to play it down. Or he's being a girlie-man.
