Rep. Hennies in Hospital. And thanks computer guys. Kind of.
As mentioned in today's Rapid City Journal, Representative Tom Hennies apparently spent part of the week in St. Mary's Hospital in Pierre:
Not to speak poorly of the ill, but I have to take issue with one of the statements he made in the article:
"Hospital Geeks?" Ugh. Why do otherwise intelligent people think that's an endearing term? I know a member or two of the computer staff down there, and they're the type of people who would bend over backwards for a stranger. In fact, I have a co-worker who's computer is on the fritz, and one of the so-called "hospital geeks" is giving me one to replace it. (Hint: In the future, Computer Staff is probably the preferred terminology.)
Signed, PP the political geek.
Rep. Tom Hennies, R-Rapid City, spent the past couple of days in the Pierre hospital, but that didn’t stop him from keeping up with the work of the Legislature. Hennies was admitted to St. Mary’s Health Care Center on Tuesday night after experiencing bouts of “sweats and chills” while on the way to a meeting. He said that other legislators, among them Rep. Kathy Miles, D-Sioux Falls, who is a nurse, told him he should go to the hospital.We certainly hope Representative Hennies, who is term limited out this year is feeling on the mend this next week. Consider this our get well soon card.
“I had double pneumonia,” Hennies said Friday by telephone as he prepared to catch a ride to Rapid City with Rep. Ed McLaughlin, R-Rapid City. “But I’m doing good.”
Because of an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease last year in Rapid City, Hennies also asked to be tested for that and is awaiting the results.
Not to speak poorly of the ill, but I have to take issue with one of the statements he made in the article:
Meanwhile, Hennies was concerned about missing the final days of the 2006 session of the Legislature. That’s when a state Republican Party staff member, who knew people at the hospital, asked that Hennies’ computer be set up so he could keep up with things online.Read the whole article here.
“They were great,” Hennies said. “The hospital geeks were kind enough to fix it up.”

I am also concerned because Tom excused himself from each of the Sex Offender Bills that came before the Legislature, this man has real problems. He is now refusing to vote on bills he has vociferously opposed in the past. Maybe the hospital could replace his spine while he's there.
I don't doubt you, but I heard nothing of it. Just curious.
Thanks.
Here is the link to the story of Hennies' threats to kill other legislators.
I rarely read the paper. If it's important, Gary Ellenbolt will tell me.
It would be like using a porcine term in trying to endear yourself to a police officer.
what does that mean?
He's profound when he needs to be. But everyone's capable of foot-in-mouth disease
How much of Branson's plans have you read about? Have you read what Branson plans to do if the amendment passes?
He and his JAILers from all over the nation are going to "purposely drive to South Dakota...just for the privilege of getting a traffic ticket so you can demand a jury trial. I anticipate traffic courts to be among the first courts to all but totally close..."

This is not about judicial accountability. This is about Branson's conspiracy theories and his plans to shut down the South Dakota courts with his little JAILers from all over the country coming here to SUE OUR JUDGES.
Seems that he is no longer interested in standing on his principles. I can't believe that he would actually run against Sam Kookier. That would be a big mistake. Hennies will get his clock cleaned.
