Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has suffered a mild stroke.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., saw a doctor after feeling light-headed Tuesday and learned he'd suffered a mild stroke, aides said Friday."Senator Reid feels fine. There are no complications or any restrictions on his activities. He has undergone evaluations this week, and his doctors have recommended that he take advantage of the summer congressional recess for some down time," said a statement issued by Reid's press secretary, Tessa Hafen.
The statement said Reid sought medical attention at the urging of his wife, Landra. He was told he had experienced a transient ischemic attack.
The statement did not say where Reid was where the episode occurred or where he received treatment. Congress has been in recess since the beginning of August.
I may disagree with his politics, but I wish him well. Some matters transcend the political.

Comments on Reid Has Stroke
I wish him well, too. Although I do find him to be a bit of a scumbag and disagree with his politics. Key thing here, laughing at people's own healthy problems, such as AIDS for example, is not the way to go since people who made fun at other people's health problems could, too, suffer the same fate. Just like one girl said somewhere that "We're just temporarily abled people."
Don't laugh. Bad form.

Why is it so hard for other people to do such a respectful and responsible thing to do?
