How Rove's passing kidney stones (i hope it hurts) affect Bush

[elehhhhna]

Many "women in the know" have told me that kidney stones cuase more pain than active (prenatal) labor. I hope for Karls skae they're right. On another note, what's up with all the pee-related headlines from the WH lately?

Why Rove can't
go ... to meetings

Karl Rove's kidney stones may have hurt Dubya.

Never mind those planned congressional hearings on the hows and whys of government incompetence in the attempt to cope with Hurricane Katrina.
There were not only logistical and bureaucratic troubles but, astonishingly for the Bush White House, political snafus. Maybe there's a simple explanation: Karl Rove's kidney stones.

Washington insiders have been buzzing that President Bush's guru-in-chief - often called "Bush's Brain" - has been suffering from the painful urinary-tract malady for the past couple of weeks, causing him to miss some key Katrina strategy sessions.

I'm told that the 54-year-old deputy White House chief of staff - who apparently was feeling well enough yesterday to travel outside the nation's capital - visited the hospital, possibly twice, to relieve his agony since Labor Day.

kidney stones? It couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. And I hope they are as big as his head.

4. I am usually sympathetic with people with kidney stones...

since I get them but for this asshole, I hope his pain is rated 10/10 on a pain scale and there is permanent kidney damage. My apologies for being so negative but this is one individual who deserves negative karma.

3. Goodness! Not a fatal malady, I hope!

I'd hate for * to lose his brain! It's a terrible thing to lose your brain!

I've passed a couple of stones in my day. No big deal. If KKKarl has some, they can be zapped into sand.

7. if you change the punctuation your post reads:

"Not a fatal malady. I hope."

I hope it is too.

6. As for the pain level...

I had heard that. Having gone through 30 hours of labor, I had my doubts, but a good friend who had kidney stones a few months after giving birth to her son assured me the kidney stones were worse. Who knew?!
