Monday, January 23, 2012

Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), 52, underwent surgery Monday after suffering a stroke and is recovering in the hospital. "On Saturday, Senator Kirk checked himself into Lake Forest Hospital, where doctors discovered a carotid artery dissection in the right side of his neck," his office said in a statement. "Due to his young age, good health and the nature of the stroke, doctors are very confident in the senator's recovery over the weeks ahead."

Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), 52

Holy shit, how old are you, Father Time?

I've got to say, I don't like his politics, or his belief in strict gun control laws, so I didn't vote for him.

But I certainly hope he gets better. Good luck Senator.

.

Wish him well.

Get well soon, Senator. I always cringe when crap like that strikes folks much younger than me.

Holy fuck, I thought your comments were embarrassing when I thought you were 25.

Kirk, eh? Shouldn't have worn that red shirt.

It is a shame ted kennedy didn't have a stroke when he was young. It may have prevented him from murdering may jo.

Not if he had it while crossing the bridge.

Memo to GasHouse:

When you're going to try and piggyback your small-minded understanding of the world around you onto the boards by relying on someone as your poster child? Try and get the goddamn name right. Otherwise, you just look like a moron. And you wouldn't want to look like a moron, would you, moron?

It is a shame ron reagan didn't have a stroke when he was young. It may have prevented him from murdering 300 Marines.

ftfy asshouse

It may have prevented him from murdering 300 Marines.

Now there's a piece of history I missed. Reagan murdered 300 Marines?

Do tell.

Now there's a piece of history I missed. Reagan murdered 300 Marines?

"Do tell."

Almost laughable that one doesn't even need to see who wrote a post to know who actually wrote it. How many Reagan killed them rerorts is that now Northy? About 198 times you have brought up the Lebabon Marine barracks bombing? Has it once applied to anything in context to what you responded to? Or is it simply like a festering boil on your ass for the last 30 years, and you continue to squeeze it hoping it goes away?

"How many Reagan killed them rerorts is that now Northy?"

**hiccup**

"About 198 times you have brought up the Lebabon Marine barracks bombing?"

**hiccup!**

Some one needs to get off the Lebabon weed.

About 198 times you have brought up the Lebabon Marine barracks bombing?

Well, I'm sure northgay feels better that Clinton failed to get OBL when he had him in his sights, so 3,000 died because of Reagan's successor. I hope this makes him happy that justice was done ten fold.

"Some one needs to get off the Lebabon weed."

Maybe you mean hash. Not surprised you would fuck that up as well though. Afterall had Ted Ginn Jr played, the 49'ers were guaranteed to win according to you. Oh, and all that football betting skills you tried to brag about. LMAO...

Oh how the 70's and 80's were good for hash...

LOL

It's amazing people still think that's the height of responding. But when you look at the people who do it, it's not so amazing. LOL

"Afterall had Ted Ginn Jr played, the 49'ers were guaranteed to win according to you."

Nice "rerort" CoCo. You got a cite for that, or did you just pull it out of your wart-infected a-hole?

Well, I'm sure northgay feels better that Clinton failed to get OBL when he had him in his sights

You mean at Tora Bora? In his third term? And,in his fourth term? Somehow blaming Clinton for Bush ignoring 50 warnings that al queda was going to attack the US is pathetic, even for somebody ODing on Morontnic. Of course, if Gore had been President, 9-11 would never have happened, and America would still have a strong economy, but what you gonna do?


"so 3,000 died because of Reagan's successor."

I never blamed Bush I for Bush IIs failings, Goatsy. Lose a President somewhere down the line?

Of course, it was Herbie's whoring out the US military to "protect" the saudistani royals that got bin laden all worked up, but Bush was eventually well paid for that, so, in the interest of the free market, we can let that slide.

Speedy recovery for Captain Kirk--er --Senator Kirk.

From the Chicago Suntimes:

Fessler said they "likely will never know" what caused the stroke. He said Kirk's "lifestyle has been very healthy ... He works out and eats a reasonable diet." He noted that twice a year Kirk has to pass physicals for the Navy, where he is in the reserves.

"I don't think this event had anything to do with either stress or diet," he said. "It's just one of those unfortunate disasters that happens to people sometimes."

On Monday, Fessler noted that the stroke was on his right side, also a good sign.

"Fortunately, the stroke was not on the left side of the brain, in which case it would affect his ability to speak, understand and think. We are very hopeful that when we get through all the recovery, all those functions will be intact."

Fessler also said then that Kirk's recovery would be a "long haul."

Elected to the Senate in 2010 after serving five terms in the U.S. House, Kirk underwent a three-hour surgery Sunday night in which doctors removed a 4-inch by 8-inch section of his skull to relieve swelling.

they "likely will never know" what caused the stroke.

Kirk supports Rmoney. Newt kicked Rmoney's ass in SC. End of story.
