I heard ABC Radio News's report about Harry Reid coming from Johnson's hospital room refusing to give any details of Johnson's condition, like was he awake, was he cognizant of his surroundings?

Rush made a comment about Reid and the Democrats will keep Johnson on a respirator for 2 years if they have to in order to maintain their majority. [Insert Weekend at Bernie's remarks here.[

As much as I'd like to see this seat flipped, and it would be ironic after Former SD Senator Daschle flipped a GOP seat (Jeffords) to gain the majority that a SD Senate seat takes away the majority from the Democrats, I do not like the Media's conduct, and especially Harry Reid's conduct.
