Sen. Tim Johnson Did NOT Have A Stroke

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Breaking News, General Politics

Sorry readers, I jumped the gun. My apologies for that. And it looks as if he’s doing better.

Johnson, who turns 60 on Dec. 28, was admitted to George Washington University Hospital with an undiagnosed illness, said a spokeswoman, Julianne Fisher.

She said, however, the senator did not suffer a stroke or heart attack. His office had said earlier it was a possible stroke.

Fisher said Johnson would undergo further tests at the hospital Wednesday night. She said his office did not plan any more updates on his condition until Thursday. [...]

Johnson became disoriented during a conference call with reporters at midday Wednesday, stuttering in response to a question.

Before he ended the call, Johnson appeared to recover and asked if there were any additional questions.

I wonder what happened. I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
