[elehhhhna]

cnn crawl

[warrens]

1. That poor, poor hospital...nt

[elehhhhna]

10. LOL

[SoCalDem]

2. Hysterectomy??

I mean.. he's been a bit hysterical lately :rofl:

[Turbineguy]

33. He's sacrificing

his testicles for his cause.

[walldude]

3. Elective surgery to repair "rotating cuff"

[Renew Deal]

7. Is that true?

Is he joining the Mets?

[MacCovern]

13. Maybe he needs Tommy John surgery!

eom

[RB TexLa]

30. Or might need to write

rotator cuff problems are painful and can prevent much more than pitching.

[peacebaby3]

73. True. He now has to sign the letters of condolence to family

members of service men and women killed in action instead of using the auto-signature pen that he got away with using for the first 1-2 years. It must be hell to have to take the time and make the effort to sign those letters! :sarcasm:

edit: typo

[EvolveOrConvolve]

95. True

You can't masturbate during the State of the Union address with a bum rotator cuff.

[TahitiNut]

62. A side-effect from patting himself on the back so much.

They should do America a favor and perform arthroscopic surgery on his skull and remove the petrified fecal matter.

[AnneD]

85. Guess he won't be ...

the WH's pitch man for a while...

[greatauntoftriplets]

89. Rotator cuff.

Orthopedic fix.

[leftchick]

4. psychiatric hospital?

??

[Cocoa]

28. yep

he's suffering from Acute Cognitive Dissonance. Maybe he caught Olbermann's show.

[EarlG]

5. Just popped up

Elective surgery for left rotator cuff.

Or something like that.

[Drum]

14. Damaged by long periods of patting self on back n/t

[gkhouston]

29. ....

:applause:

[soup]

32. Ha! Good one, Drum!

Authority transferred to Spiderman?

[Drum]

40. LOL! love that picture!

:toast:

[DoYouEverWonder]

41. LOL

n/t

[TahitiNut]

63. (Oops!) GMTA!!

I posted the same before I saw yours. Truly, Great Minds Think Alike!

[elehhhhna]

15. THEY BREAK INTO BUSH LIVE for a rotator cuff? MY ASS

He collapsed when he heard this ridiculous speech and y'all KNOW IT

[malaise]

21. Amazing isn't it? n/t

[elehhhhna]

25. Goodnews: Leiberman's at his bedside. Badnews: He brought a pillow.

[Botany]

16. his 'tater cuff?

This is hugh!

[Renew Deal]

18. lol

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!

[NoSheep]

35. Thought he may have bitten his tongue lying. Nope. Callous too thick.

:evilfrown:

[Nimrod2005]

Don't know medical stuff, is he going to die now? nt

[Hubert Flottz]

77. I guess you know where sympathy can be found in case Donnie

needs some?

[MacCovern]

6. Left Rotator Cuff

This could possibly jeopardize Rumsfeld's wannabe baseball career.
I think the Kansas City Royals could use him on their pitching staff.

[Drum]

17. (after last night's game vs Yankees, that's a big 10-4!)

:shrug:

[Drum]

8. Need...more...bloooooood! n/t

[cliss]

Seriously?

Fill me in....for those of us who don't have TV (blame it on Bush!!!)

If Rummy is hospitalized, then....

[flyingfysh]

9. an excuse for him to resign?

[Nickster]

11. First thing I thought too. n/t

[elehhhhna]

20. Look at it this way: it's a long recovery, it hurts really bad, and

he'll be jacked up on pain pills for weeks. So no, he'll stay.

[Janice325]

45. Shit yeah, it hurts!

See post #42 and 43.
(I never thought I'd be laughing about someone's pain, but life's a bitch, ain't it!)
:rofl:

[elehhhhna]

72. Hubs had it 6 mos. ago. He was crabby for a few days...

like 20, maybe.

[dapper]

105. Crabs?

Rumsfeld has crabs? crabbies? :-)


Dap

[badgerpup]

82. Uh...no, not really...

Had rotator cuff surgery in January...two weeks on the hard stuff, lots of physical therapy...was almost as good as new by April.

Of course, from what I've seen, every little thing affects the Captitol Hill Crowd much more strongly than it would any of the rest of us peons people,
:nopity:
So he might choose to 'spend more time with his family due to health reasons...' :sarcasm:

[elehhhhna]

87. Are you my husband? Because that's when he had his cuff surgery.

lol

[badgerpup]

107. Honored to be nominated for the role, but...

nope.
I play on the other team...I's a grrl
:toast:

[RebelOne]

54. Don't count on it. n/t

[Xipe Totec]

12. Emergency Heimlich

his lies were too much to swallow, even for him.

[samfishX]

26. Whatever.

I'll let you know when I feel bad for that vampire.

[tridim]

19. Catapulting the propaganda!

See, Rummy is human.. He suffers pain just like you and me.

[AlCzervik]

22. I bet Rumsfeld will be stepping down and this is an easy exit.

[onenote]

34. I'll take that bet

Since he's having arthroscopic surgery on a rotator cuff, my bet is that you're wrong.

[Subdivisions]

23. Elective rotator cuff surgery. Yawn. eom

[ComerPerro]

37. anyone who calls this surgery elective is just as bad as the Nazis

[w4rma]

70. Overblow things much? (nt)

[Nimrod2005]

39. Will he die from this?

[bdamomma]

51. it was only shoulder surgery

[newspeak]

58. my daughter's SO

just had this done three weeks ago, they also scraped his bone because he had some arthritis--of course, he's a soldier who has been in Afghanistan. It's very painful--J is a nice guy, I care and feel for him--but not for Remsfeld!!!! I could care less if he's having surgery-maybe while he's away less people will die!!!! Kind of like, death takes a vacation!!!!!

[originalpckelly]

24. Must have been all those "Curve Balls" he's been throwing around.

Or maybe Don got the problem transporting all of Saddam's WMDs.

[madinmaryland]

27. Too many Nazi salutes? n/t

[Xipe Totec]

31. Good one!

:rofl:

[bdamomma]

52. left shoulder though.

[Nimrod2005]

36. If the good Lord is calling him home, who are we to stand between them?

Is he checking out?

[Oreo]

60. I don't think the good Lord would want him

Rummy is destined for a nice hot afterlife

[woodsprite]

38. How about a cranio-anal-ectomy!

[hootinholler]

96. I was thinking a rectumcranioectomy but that one works too. n/t

[Janice325]

42. I had surgery on May 10 for a torn rotator cuff.

It was a complete tear in my right shoulder. I'd been hurting since December, getting progressively worse, like someone stabbing me in the shoulder with a knife. I'd move my shoulder wrong, it would hurt like hell and I couldn't stop the "OH, FUCK" that would come out of my mouth.
It was a bitch.
Since the surgery and many visits to the physical therapist, it's still sore but the soreness and stiffness is slowly going away, my range of motion has improved, and the strengh is getting slowly better.
I'd be a happy camper if Rummy has at least THREE TIMES the pain and trouble with it that I did.
Hey, are they gonna replace him with Joementum if Rummy has to step down?
k&r

[kskiska]

43. Yeah, I had the same thing

except I didn't have any health insurance and it had to heal by itself. Took about a year.

[Janice325]

47. OUCH!

I'm so sorry. I hope it's better now. At least I had insurance (unemployed, but with insurance).

[kskiska]

55. It's better now

It's said that there's a dirty little secret - that many ailments will cure themselves given time. However, if I had a choice…

[Philosoraptor]

44. Excuse to resign?

[NYCGirl]

46. Rotator cuff? No, IMO. NT

[QuettaKid]

49. this will be the prelude to his spending more time

with his family.

[tgnyc]

48. All that bullshit he's been slinging. Didn't know he was left-handed.

[helderheid]

50. CNN has this on their website:

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/09/05/rumsfeld.surgery/index.html

elective surgery

[Janice325]

56. The article states that

"Rumsfeld is expected back on the job Wednesday."
:wtf:
I had no idea you could be back to work so fast. When I had mine, I was incapacitated for several weeks with my arm in a sling. Maybe it's because I had a complete rupture of the rotator cuff???

[Skidmore]

53. Just reported as "an old sports injury."

LOL! Kinda reminds me of the one injury my son experienced in high school when he was part of the football team. He didn't get it playing foot ball, but on the way to the field, a band member dropped the bass on his foot and laid him up for the rest of the season. My daughter used to tease him about his "band injury." Actually, she still does. I heard her teasing him about approaching 30 recently and she asked him if his band injury bothers him when the weather changes.

[elehhhhna]

74. He's an old sport, alright.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

57. Leaving office for "health" reasons? That would be convenient.

Then a "new" face, and a "new" direction in Iraq. Which would be an old face with the same failed strategy dressed up as "progress".

[lebkuchen]

59. Can damaged egos be treated in ER?

I've called for psychiatric services for him a long time ago.

[zanne]

61. Unfortunately, it's nothing serious. nt

[Janice325]

64. Ha. Mine was a bitch and hurt like hell!!! (especialy for 6 months prior

to the surgery).
I hope Rummy's hurts, too!

[IdaBriggs]

65. That was MEAN! I saw the headline, and automatically let out

a LOUD WOO HOO!!! and "Rummy's been hospitalized!!!" burst out of my lips before I read further. "What happened?" asked one of my (conservative) co-workers, which had me responding, "Who knows? Who cares? Maybe now we'll get someone COMPETENT in there instead."

Unfortunately, I had to retract my joy when I found out it was elective, and not serious enough to get him *OUT* of there. :cry:

That type of politics probably didn't belong at work. Sigh. But, as I followed up when Mr. Conservative said, "I here he's doing a good job," (to which I pointed out that NO HE'S NOT), and "he's a very powerful man," I replied: "For now. But we all have to meet our maker sometime."

[TheCowsCameHome]

66. Can't reach his pecker anymore?

[Janice325]

90. Haha, that's a great one, IMO!

:rofl:

[salinen]

67. He'll be forced to move the Parrot

to his other shoulder.

[elehhhhna]

75. lol

[marmar]

68. Exorcism?

:evilfrown:

[Horse with no Name]

69. I hope he isn't planning on donating his heart to Darth Cheney

Would be a hoot to open him up and finally know he didn't have one.

[opihimoimoi]

71. Its a Double Secret LOBOTOMY

[chat_noir]

76. remembering Rumsfailed

[Eurobabe]

78. Heard he tore his rotator posing for this

[Generic Other]

79. I hear quadruple asshole bypass is tricky surgery

Still very experimental.

[Greeby]

80. He's being fitted for a wheelchair and a special new arm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLqCnZAurZo

:evilgrin:

[lpbk2713]

81. Here it is folks ---- "The October Surprise" we've all been waiting for.

We need not wonder any longer.


They just decided to roll it out a little early, that's all.

[bullwinkle428]

83. They did a brain scan...they apparently found nothing...

[Chimichurri]

92. lol

buddum bum

[PresidentWar]

84. For chronic prevarication?

I hope this doesn't get me labeled as a "mean DUer".

[Cha]

97. You big meany!

Talkin' about poor rummy and his greedy oily prevaracation when you're obviously right!

[lies and propaganda]

86. so thats where all the blood on his hands came from.

[alfredo]

88. Hurt his back attempting

auto fellatio.

[johnnie]

91. Threw his back out

....from fucking the country over too much?

[peaches2003]

93. Excuse

This will be the excuse for him to resign. He is too arrogant to quit and Bush doesn't have the balls to fire him.

Remember the election is in 2 months and this will be the September surprise. Hopefully the October surprise will be that Bush and Cheney quit.

[elehhhhna]

104. Ironic Future Headline Alert: Rummmy sends thousands to their deaths,

Quits job over owie shoulder.

You go to work with the shoulder you HAVE, Muthuflucker

[PatrioticLeftie]

94. I don't usually

like to mock those when they are hospitalized, but perhaps he had to have his head surgically removed from out of his ass.

[Poiuyt]

98. Is it possible that he's going in for something else?

and that they are just saying shoulder surgery for PR reasons? The timing seems strange to me.

On the other hand it could be a shoulder injury like some other people

[RandiRhodesArchives]

99. One word

KARMA!

I hope he has a speedy recovery. :sarcasm:

[pacalo]

100. Horns sprouting again?

[Dinger]

101. Bad Case Of Ball Rot - Eeew!

[spanone]

102. Maybe they have decided to give him a heart? Naw.....

[chat_noir]

103. Thanks, Skizz!

Skizz, do your friends know about this:

Skizz, you cant' deny this: ?click

[Phrogman]

106. Sounds like a job for a whole TEAM of proctologists

Doing surgery on an asshole that big.

[npincus]

108. He had a conscience implanted
