July 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Democratic Presidential Candidate and Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich is being treated in a Cleveland area hospital suffering from the severe effects of apparent food poisoning.
Kucinich became ill late on Sunday night while traveling from Cleveland to Ft. Lauderdale, FL where he was scheduled to address the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) national convention on Monday morning. He was accompanied on the trip by his wife Elizabeth.
Despite experiencing severe gastrointestinal symptoms consistent with food poisoning, he proceeded with his scheduled appearance at the ILA event. Immediately following his speech, he flew back home to Cleveland where he was examined, diagnosed, and admitted to the hospital for inpatient treatment. He is expected to be released, fully recovered, within the next few days.
The name and location of the hospital are not being disclosed out of deference to other patients and to prevent any disruption to hospital operations.

Dennis had a speech to make
A so for the Longshoremem’s sake
He held it back
Though under attack
By some really bad shortcake.

They guy’s tougher than he looks. He went longer standing beside Hillary without experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms than most folks do.

One is hard-pressed to note any difference when Kucinich shows up on the floor of Congress. I doubt showing up on a hospital floor will cause much of a disruption. Well, except for the moonbats that vote for him. I'm sure there are some alternative medicine types who would like to go down to the hospital ward and burn incense or make sacrifices to Gaia or something.
Wonder what ward he's in? Pediatrics? Psychiatric? Is there an elf-specialties ward?

He was hangn out with his buddies, the Keebler Elves, and ate too many cookies. Then he lost 'em.

A message from her heinous for spilling the beans on hers and Edwards plans??? Damned if that wasn't my exact same thought. Notwithstanding, hope he does OK. Food poisoning is awful to go through.
