It's very sad when we hear stuff like this - about anybody.

This article says that a symptom to this diagnosis could have been the speech difficulty he was having at the Comey interview. I remember people commenting on that and I remember seeing that and wondering what was going on with him. My prayers are with he and his family.

We were 'the twins.' i still miss her. She underwent 2 surgeries 9 months apart but it grew so quickly and wrapped around all the major centers of the brain like an octopus, that they couldn't get it all without making her a vegetable, paraplegic, speechless, deaf, or blind.
That's just unfair. - Lost her a few months ago. sm

John McCain is one of these guys I like for some reason. He had my vote for president until he chose Sarah Palin as running mate. Oh, did I mention I'm a democrat? :) Wishing him well.
My sincere condolences. It is so hard to lose someone you love. nm - Truthhurts

A Letter From McCain, Dems Celebrating With ChampagneMar 24, 2010
My Friend, Yesterday, President Obama signed his massive government takeover of our health care system into law. This bill is terribly wrong for America and I call on you to join with me to challenge this bill in every way we can. The fact remains that by a two-to-one margin, Americans do not want this bill to become law. On Saturday, I held town hall meetings in Arizona and we could not find one person who liked this bill.
