Get well, Sen. Johnson!

Yesterday, Senator Tim Johnson (D-S.D.) suffered from a brain aneurysm, not a stroke, as far as most can tell. He had brain surgery last night and is reported to be in critical condition - a status that may change for the better in the near future, as the surgery was reportedly successful.

First and foremost, our prayers and best wishes go to Sen. Johnson and his family for his health.

The potential vacancy of his seat, of course, has got the Faux News guys salivating at the prospect of a return to NeoCon control of the Senate.

Read the Washington Post story.

EDIT: More Republican talking-head assholery. Not surprising in the least that none of them realize that what they are saying is utterly WRONG.

And, from what I have heard, Rush is so liberated that he is actually *gasp* not throwing in with the rest of them. I'll try to find a clip.
