Wow 8 years of seniority with Team Baraq.

Wonder if he’ll get a Wellstone sendoff?

He’s the ‘lucky one’, he didn’t get killed by ObamaCare.

There’s nothing very natural about collapsing and dying at the age of 29.

We can’t rule anything out until we see if there’s evidence of a cover-up.

Hard not to make a snarky comment but 29 years of age is so young that he must have either had a heart defect or had abused his body in some way (drugs, obesity).

Sad for his family.
