WMAL in Washington reporting he spent the night having brain surgery.

Wow! Wonder if it's true?

WaPo sez, at 7:44AM, that he's out, alive but critical, no further info.

Probably an aneurysm, probably leaked, probably bad location (My best guess, not from WaPo).

We'll have to wait for the press conference, "later this morning".

Hokay. So did he have a stroke, or didn't he?

When I left the newsroom last night, the last word from his staff was that he didn't suffer a stroke, but was being examined by a doctor. They implied (never actually said it, now that I think of it) that he was suffering from some form of exhaustion. I.e., he was just plain tired.

While I have hopes and prayers for Johnson's speedy recovery, I have to wonder how long before the rumor mills and conspiracy theorists get cranking....

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
