"Over Dozen Fall Sick At McCain-Palin Rally"
how poignant .....


"Fairfax County Fire and Rescue responded to a call of several sick people at Wednesday's McCain-Palin Rally. Emergency crews transported several patients to a local hospital after they suddenly became ill.

Over a dozen patients were evaluated at the scene. There is no word on symptoms or what may have caused the people to become ill at this time. "

52. That's why there weren't more sick at the rally. But how did the normal people get in?
Don't they screen for that?

21. Surprised it's only a dozen. I get sick sitting in front of the TeeVee hearing it drone on.
I can't imagine what it's like being subjected to that in person.

(Hope it's nothing serious and everyone is ok.)

I didn't know that side effects of listening to McCain/Lipstick could be serious enough to require hospitalization.

23. The McCain-Palin people will say...
That the dozen or so were "slain in the spirit." It's what happens when someone so beloved by God like Palin gets up on a stage and starts talking in tongues - people convulse and fall over as the might of the Holy Spirit hits them full-on.

39. Palin's voice created an inner ear disturbance resulting in nausea and dizziness.
Long-term exposure linked to severe psychosis and decreased intellectual functioning.
