#1 These curses are working faster than made. Must be the end.

#2 I recommend he see Dr. Conrad Murray at his earliest.

#3 Prostrate cancer takes too long.
He should take the 3rd option but radiation is kind of icky.. how about implanting some a pair of hedge apples seeds pod and all?

#4 He is going for the "gold standard" and not screwing around. Under his plan you would get #2 or #3 or told to wait and die slowly. Worthless bastard he is.

#5 Looks like he'll have to gop on a sandwich diet.

#6 Huh, so the ass has a problem with his ass.

Ironic.

#7 as a demonstration, he should receive only ObamaCare™ levels of service and care. He'll be dead before his next appointment. He'll get the very best of healthcare unlike us proles

#8 Make him go to a general practitioner to get permission to thee the oncologist - in a month or 2. Then let him schedule the surgery a few months after that, if they flip the coin and allow it. Then let him wait things out with the cheapest meds and least skilled surgeons the government can find.

He'd be dead.

#9 I closely checked my inner feelings and like I did with his pal Teddy I feel kinda glad - not sad in the least.

#10 Good thing he's not in Britain: "Former British diplomat Christopher Denne had prostate cancer symptoms and went to his NHS entry-level doctor. It then took six weeks to see an urologist who did not obtain a biopsy for 10 more months. The biopsy was positive for prostate cancer, but Denne had to wait another three months for another test to determine if the cancer had spread. Unfortunately it had, but after more than 14 months, the time for early treatment options had passed".

#11 with Dodd, you kinda expect it to spread to his brain since his head is in such close proximity most of the time

#12 Undoubtedly bad news for Barney Franks as well. Doubt he'll enjoy 'hanger queen' status during Dodd's treatment phases.

#13 Maybe, just maybe, Bambi can make this a "teaching moment" ... but only if Dodd receives the same level of care he is pushing for the average citizen.

#14 Three words: Good career move. On second thought make it four: Good career move, asshole.

#15 Well I hope he survives, but has thoughts about how frustrating and deadly any bureaucratic delays would be...

#16 It is rather convenient, isn't it: he now has an excuse to back away from an election next year that all the polls say he's going to lose. Gives the Dhimmicrats time to line up another lobbyist-smooching crook to step in.

#17 That was exactly my thought yesterday on Twitter, Steve. A convenient out from what will likely be his most unpleasant campaign ever.
