Tim Johnson, Husband, Father

It's unbelievable to me how cold politics can be. Here are some examples of the media coverage regarding Tim Johnson's illness. Sure, it's a big deal politically if something bad happens, but this guy is somebody's husband, son, and father. Can't they at least pretend to care about what happens to him from a purely human standpoint? His family is going through enough right now without hearing from the media that all they're concerned about is the political ramifications. That IS all they're concerned about, but again, they could try to fake a little concern for the family's sake. At least keep the roar down regarding what would happen in the Senate until he (hopefully) stabilizes.

My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Johnson and his family. He's a human being, his life is a lot more important than a Senate majority. It's amazing that that even has to be stated.
