Senator Johnson has an apparent stroke.
On a very sad note, Democratic US Senator Tim Johnson has reportedly had a stroke.
As reported in the Argus Leader, initial reports of his condition coming from Congresswoman Herseth are troubling:
Senator Johnson - South Dakota's thoughts and prayers are very much with you and your family at this time. We can only hope for the best, and for a speedy recovery.
It's also my sincere hope that for the sake of his family the media would knock it off for a while, and quit speculating as to his replacement and how it could affect the Senate. It's highly inappropriate when his wife and children are trying to get to his bedside. Concentrate on him getting better, not the kind of story you can turn it into. Vultures.
I'm sure the Senator will recover with flying colors, and quickly return to service.
As reported in the Argus Leader, initial reports of his condition coming from Congresswoman Herseth are troubling:
Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., was hospitalized today, according to his Washington office.Read it all here.
He suffered from a possible stroke, and was taken to George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C..
Rep. Stephanie Herseth, at the conclusion of a Sioux Falls meeting with board members of the Lewis and Clark water project, called the group back together around 3 p.m. and announced Sen. Johnson had been taken to a hospital.
In a shaking voice, she called on South Dakotans for their prayers.
Herseth said she believed it was a severe stroke.
Johnson, 59, had become disoriented during a conference call with reporters, stuttering in response to a question. He appeared to recover, asking if there were any additional questions and then signing off.

Thank you.
Sincerely.
YOu have no class.
They don't get much better or much more South Dakotan than Tim.
We wish him well.

Anon 5:52, Shame on you!
While I often disagree with your posters on this site, as I am too often a partisan Dem, you always handle matters like this with a great deal of class as do 99% of the people on this site. It is appreciated.
I do wish Johnson the best.
Most people "have religion" already. They just don't beat other people over the head with it like it appears you wish to do. They understand that religion and politics are two separate things.
You seem to imply that if Minkle was praying, that would be a bad thing. It makes one wonder where you're really coming from with all your self-righteousness.
