In a brief update late in the day, Waxman's staff disclosed that the congressman had fainted in his district office in California.

He needs to have his health care “rationed”. Anyone volunteer to stand on his air hose?

Under the new, ill-conceived health care plan he'd be a goner.

Oh, forgot. For the political elite there's no problem. We die, they live.

who gives a sh#t what this asshat does? I hope he recovers, has a long life, makes lots of money, visits many countries, ruins the Republic, has his name immortalized in granite on some great monument.....

or just comes to the realization that power and money are no substitute for the respect of honorable men, the love of your family and the joy of not compromising your honor and principals in order to follow your path.... or not....

just doesn't matter at all.

Fainting could be anything: neurological, cardiological, gastronomical.

They really bury us with information here.

It couldn't possibly have been for lack of oxygen. The moron has some freakishly large air intakes. :8)
