    Re: Congresswoman Tubbs-Jones taken to hospital -- on life support

    WOIO in Cleveland reporting that Congresswoman Tubbs Jones suffered a brain aneurysm while driving and was "basically dead" when taken to the hospital. She is on life support, which is expected to be withdrawn this afternoon.

    I was unfamiliar with Congresswoman Tubbs-Jones before seeing her in her role as Clinton advocate on the various cable news programs this spring. I thought she did very well, making a positive case for her candidate without coming off as shrill as many Clinton supporters were at the time. It's sad that we have apparently lost her.

    Poindexter, seriously, what the hell was that?

    I didn't feel bad when she was on life support, and I don't feel bad now. I wish every one of our congresspeople were dead, or at a minimum vanished to the cornfield. I feel 100% of them are grifters, scam artists, charlatans and frauds. I wish they were all gone. Just my opinion. I don't expect people to agree with it. Rubes think that their congressperson is fantastic. Its always the other ones who are driving this country into the ground.

    Doctor at press conference says the congresswoman is currently in critical condition. However, he also said she suffered an aneurysm in an inaccessible part of her brain, and she has very limited brain function.

    There appear to be conflicting reports.

    Watching CNN right now and I am absolutely appalled.

    First, CNN announces that the Plain-Dealer reports that Tubbs Jones is dead...
    Next, CNN announces that it confirms that Tubbs Jones is dead...

    Then, they go to a live press conference. Turns out, she is alive. Critical condition, but alive.

    Sorry, but that's total bullshit. No need for such a rush in reporting a death.
