Drudge links to a 8/19/05 AP article, via Fox News:

WASHINGTON — The Senate Democratic leader, Harry Reid (search) of Nevada, suffered a brief mini-stroke Tuesday, but doctors found no complications and he feels fine, aides said Friday....

Asked why announcement of the event was delayed for three days, Hafen said, "The reason was the tests and the evaluations that they were doing. We wanted to make sure we knew what we were announcing. You need conclusive information."

Don't you all know that it's quite alright for any Democrat to hold off telling the media anything for whatever length of time is necessary to get the story straight? It's only wrong if a Republican *withholds* such information. (sarc)

1969 Jul 25, A week after the Chappaquiddick accident that claimed the life of Mary Jo Kopechne, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy pleaded guilty to a charge of leaving the scene of an accident.

7pm on 7/25/69 - Ted Kennedy gives speech & asks voter's opinion on whether he should resign.

Does ANYONE care who the NBC White House reporter is nowadays?

It used to matter somewhat.

Nowadays the only reason to take note of his name is so that can use his name when we refer to his normally crappy reportage.

Informed, intelligent, independent thinkers do not watch much TV.

If you are one of the sheeple, you may still be watching.

There was a thread yesterday asking for this type of example.

If I recall correctly, Fat Teddy and his posse waited 12 hours to even notify police or emergency services that a person was trapped under water in the back seat of his car.

How long did it take Uncle Teddy to tell the cops he had a boo boo whilst driving?

How long did it take Clintoon to announce Vince Foster had been shot?

suffered a brief mini-stroke

A min-stroke??? Is that like a mild heart attack? Well, at least they're O.K., better than that Kopechne girl.

Reid's dumb assertion is like the liberal's favorite claim of "institutional racism" - no individual claims of "racism" can be found, but liberals still call an institution that they hate as "racist."

Reid is a loser.

Dem's to convene investigation of the V.P.'s reporting delay. Sen. Kennedy to chair drive.

You seem to be jumping to conclusions here. So, the only way I would know about this is because I am one of the sheeple watching NBC..Okay. Guess your right. No other way I could know about this story other than watching the lame stream media.

Good observation.

What about Hillary and the 30 hours before she conveniently found Vince Foster's suicide note at the WH?

What about Hillary and the Rose Law firm billing records found in the WH?

Liars, liars, pantsuits on fire.

Also, contrary to numerous media reports, the Secret Service reported the incident to local police within 45 minutes of the shooting.

I would bet half of Nevada doesn't know Reid had a stroke and the people weren't told about it for days. Heck, they may not even know about it now.

Half of Nevada doesn't know who Reid is..............
