Spellcheck doesn’t correct bad typing.
I wonder if anyone is keeping count of the Dems who are dropping like flies....there must be a list somewhere.....
That, in all seriousness, is a case of the Democrats whistling past the graveyard.
Maybe the Torch will be rehabilitated and run next time. /sarc

Oh, was that a typo? It looked right to me.
Frank Lautenberg’s spokesman Caley Gray told POLITICO that the ailing New Jersey Democrat will NOT be able to return to Washington in time for the cloture vote on the jobs bill, scheduled for Monday, James Hohmann reports.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been struggling to get a 60th vote to push his $15 billion package, and Lautenberg’s absence will now require at least two Republicans’ votes to bring the bill to the floor on the timetable the Democrats have outlined.
May he have a speedy recovery and long retirement.
With Governor Chris Christie having the power to appoint a Republican replacement, Lautenberg will not resign his seat unless he has to due to death.
As a human being, I sincerely hope that he doesn’t suffer much before he dies. This arrogant anti-gun scumbag does have a family, and I feel some sympathy for them, as well.
OTOH, from the political point of view, I have no sympathy. He is, indeed, among the very worst of the anti-gun clique in the Senate, and is (IMHO) both supremely arrogant about himself and the role of government, while being completely dismissive of the common man and the rights that are protected by the Constitution. As someone who has followed this assclown’s career with disgust and horror, I cannot help but pray that he decides to resign - immediately - in order to spend more time with his family. Then Christie can appoint a Republican.
The Founding Fathers erroneously thought that the American people could judge when someone is too elderly to be elected. Wrong!
Don’t tell us that Scott Brown will be one of the two Republican votes, or maybe Mr. Graham.
Age 86 and stomach cancer is very serious no matter what they say about it being treatable. The treatment can kill you, I know from family experience. First Murtha died, then some retired congressman (forget the name) and now? They come in 3’s, so who’s next?
Sometimes a higher power takes over my fingrs.
Yes, and it’s time for frank to go home.
the question should be under obamacare he has no use to society and should they even treat it?
Too damned bad
My step father had this at 82 yrs. went thru therapy...died less than year later. Really takes a toll on a person at that age.
But this is New Jersey, so the law will most likely be broken.
The older that you get, the more likely it is that you will eventually get some form of cancer. The good news is that it will generally grow much slower in an older person than it would in a younger person.
But chemo is poison — a poison directed at the cancer— but it also affects the rest of you. Older people can’t take high dose chemo, but high dose chemo is rarely as necessary for older people as it would be for younger people whose cancer is often much more aggressive and fast moving.
