11. I can't believe how the media (and freepers) are circling like vultures!
It's just INSANE!!

Can't they at least wait until the first press conference that's held to disuss Senator Johnson's status???

Look at the news that came out only a month ago ---- that U.S. Senator Craig Thomas (R-WY) was just diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia -- which, considering his age, is also an extremely serious situation.

DU'ers didn't start sending out death wishes like the asswipes at Free Republic have done! The thread that was created about Senator Thomas was full of nothing but well wishes and complete respect.

Wyoming has a Democratic Governor --- and yet still, there were no morbid comments about "gaining another seat".

The media and FreeAKers are drooling over this incident though and it's SICK!!

Between CNN and MSNBC (I don't do Faux), I'd have to say that Scarborough was the WORST. He was fighting like hell to hold back a smirk when he talked about the possibility of Democrats losing the senate.

Then he brought Pat Buchanan on and he blabbed on and on about how this would affect Roe v Wade, Supreme Court Justices, and a host of other political matters. Buchanan had already written Senator Johnson off and was talking about how the next two years could pan out.

They are SICK BASTARDS. :mad:

Btw:
In five states -- Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Utah and Wyoming -- the governor must appoint a member of the departing senator's party.


This is no longer the case in Alaska as of about a year ago. After former (pathetic) governer Frank Murkowski appointed his daughter to the U.S. Senate, voters went to the polls and changed that law. Now it's up to the residents of Alaska to select a replacement in an emergency special election.
