Admitted to emergency room and is stable...

[Jacobin]

1. "stable"....what an inappropriate word for Zell

:-)

[rooboy]

2. LOL... n/t

[KamaAina]

7. Actually it's a perfectly appropriate word for Zell

Last time I checked, all parts of a horse were housed in a stable, including the posterior... :evilgrin:

[liberalnurse]

9. Ain't that the truth......

:rofl:

[lonestarnot]

132. Stable as a shetland pony with a white rabbit tied to its ankle. LOLOLOL

[Fenris]

3. Well, Jesus, who didn't see that one coming?

The man's face turns tomato-red whenever he opens his mouth.

[ltfranklin]

10. Perhaps the veins in his forehead exploded?

No problem...he can get the guy from SNL to sub for him while he's in the hospital.

[NIGHT TRIPPER]

77. actually that hex was supposed to "explode" his head-better luck next time

the "hex" , that is, that he put on HIMSELF !

Karma is an interesting thing.

Happens whether you believe in it or not.

Sometimes in this life, sometimes in the next...

edited for spelling( the word "hex")

[MADem]

4. The FLU??? I ask him....

...or the finger of GOD, you miserable, traitorous sonofabitch???

[Mojambo]

5. You just can't carry that kind of anger around with you and not get sick

[Erika]

33. Agreed. He was boiling on the inside

and blamed his hatred on external factors.

[Webster Green]

6. He's stable?

No shit? How did that happen?

Could he play the violin before he entered the hospital?

[tridim]

8. Too many spitballs?

[saigon68]

11. Some one in the next room was performing an EXORCISM

And he was caught in the Field of Psychic Vibrations.

[BlueIris]

85. Snerk. saigon68, you bring the funny.

Often.

[saigon68]

106. I try to be funny

But it isn't too hard with this gang of the incompetent leading the sheep to only who knows where

LOL

Especially Zell-- A corpse dug out of the cemetery by Frankenstein's assistant and abandoned along the road because it was too evil and DESPOTIC

[NNN0LHI]

12. Terrible n/t

[PartyPooper]

13. Maybe Jeb will visit his hospital room and bring flowers.

That's the very least the Republican Party can do for Zell.

O8)

[MadisonProgressive]

14. asshat

[Spiffarino]

61. Indeed

[grasswire]

67. Is that a real billboard?

Please say yes.

[Spiffarino]

128. Only in my dreams

I Photoshopped it from a picture of a real billboard in Florida that ClearChannel put up to kiss his ass. I have a bunch of 'em.

[Pirate Smile]

15. I've seen somewhere in the past that he "changed" after a certain

illness or something which is when he started going all wacko and nasty.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has something physically wrong.

[Spider Jerusalem]

41. Supposedly...

after prostate surgery left him impotent and incontinent (not sure if it's true, or not, but it DOES make for a good story).

[DoYouEverWonder]

16. I knew I felt a disturbance in the force

I happen to live in the area.

Edit: Oops different Gainesville.

[sweetladybug]

17. I just heard on msnbc Zell Miller was rushed to the hospital

[ltfranklin]

18. Perhaps the veins in his forehead exploded?

I wouldn't wish him ill...but really, I could care less.

[still_one]

29. exactly my thoughts

[movonne]

19. For what, a brain transplant!!!

[Mabus]

31. Well, with Terri dead, there's one available now. n/t

[Ian David]

26. He's just trying to weasel out of a duel he challenged someone to n/t

[rox63]

21. Did he need emergency surgery

to remove his head from his ass?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

22. Type A personality.

Well, I sure do not wish him ill, although I consider him very misguided.

GAINESVILLE, Ga. - Former Sen. Zell Miller fell ill Thursday while giving a speech and was taken to a hospital emergency room.

Miller excused himself from the stage at a banquet for the Gainesville Care Center at the Georgia Mountains Center and was transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center.

<snip>

“Mrs. Miller has said he had flu-like symptoms for a couple of days and wouldn't stay in bed like she wanted,” Hurst said, quoting from a statement released by Miller's wife. “He wants to go home, but the doctors want to keep him for observation.”

32. Bill Frist: The Edgar Cayce of Congress

Schiavo case has no easy answers
By Tom Hennessy
Staff columnist

<snip>

Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tenn., a doctor himself, rendered a long-distance verdict worthy of Edgar Cayce. He claimed he could tell from videotapes that Schiavo was not in a vegetative state. It must be noted that Frist has never seen the woman in person.
http://u.presstelegram.com/Stories/0,1413,204%257E23168%257E2779159,00.html


Edgar Cayce (1877-1945)
dgar Cayce is known as one of America's greatest psychics. His followers maintain that Cayce was able to tap into some sort of higher consciousness, such as God or the Akashic record, to get his "psychic knowledge." He predicted that in 1958 the U.S. would discover some sort of death ray used on Atlantis.

83. Sorry, but he's going to reap what he sow.

He decided to join the dominionists and claim to speak for god, Zell Miller will now get his justice how he asked for it.

The real god will allow Zell Miller to die, simply fade away into obscurity. That is the way of destiny in a society that believes it has become higher than god.

"Oh you poor dear. Problem is...our healthcare system is a crock Zell. You didn't do anything to help, and you spent most of your time spewing Republican hate while beating up on your Democratic brothers and sisters. So, unfortunately our ER is only equipped to treat you with.......SPITBALLS!!!!...And that'll be $47,000 please."

98. He needs a dementia unit in a nursing home

[Mountain_Biker]

99. Not that it's important

On the extreme-right-wing blogs they link to the posts (and google archives when comments are removed) here and on daily kos as examples of they call the party of tolerance. When we allow words of hate and bad wishes, not just towards bush which is well deserved, but directed towards people suffering from bad health like Zel and Laura inghram (breast cancer) we diminish our message. Hate doesn't reflect the views of the majority of us. We need to police ourselves and not allow those on our extreme to define us, we're better than that. Besides, that's what the extreme-right is doing for the other side, let's learn from their mistake.

GAINESVILLE, Ga. - Former Sen. Zell Miller (news, bio, voting record) fell ill while giving a speech Thursday night and was taken to a hospital emergency room. His wife said he had flu-like symptoms.

Miller, 73, was in stable condition at Northeast Georgia Medical Center, according to nursing supervisor Tammy Harbison. She said she did not know what made Miller ill. The hospital said Miller was alert and cracking jokes, but would likely be kept overnight.

Miller, who gave a fiery keynote speech against fellow Democrats at last year's Republican National Convention, left the Senate in January.

He was Georgia's governor from 1991 to 1999.

[Botany]

123. Was he hurt in a .....

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

124. Left the Senate in January...and the party long ago?!

135. Maybe he'll wind up in a 'locked-in state'

on a ventilator for 10 years unable to express anything but feel and understand everything. He will not be able to scratch his ass or say he is hungry. He won't be able to take swipes at Godless democrats, he'll just sit there in biologic solitary confinement thinking about how much help he was for Terri.....


Asshole....
