Julia: Where art thou?
The mainstream media has begun to pick up on the fact that U.S. Rep. Julia Carson has been MIA from her congressional duties of late. She has missed 13% of her votes this year, and even then she has required some questionable assistance to participate. However, she will be running for re-election in 2008.
UPDATE: WTHR reports Carson has been hospitalized for an infection. We wish her well in her recovery.
I just called Ms. Carson's office in Indy (317-283-6516). According to the lady that answered the phone, Ms. Carson just got released from the hospital. She was in the hospital because she has an infection in her legs.

I didn't vote for because it was clear she was incoherent last NOVEMBER! I certainly would NOT have voted for a California congressman to cast votes on my behalf, which is exactly has happened.

We removed the embed the MC Hammer video due to the news as to why Carson has been absent this week. It can still be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/themchammer .

It takes a week for her constituents to hear about her health? This is a serious problem, and if she is NOT able to represent us she should not be there. The US fought a war with England over taxation without representation. Time for Julia to GO.
*PS - thanks for attaching the hammer clip. I can't watch it during the day but will tonight!

Okay, okay...I've waited for several days now, and it looks like everybody has fallen for the left-wing line:
"and was treated for an infection in her leg near the area where a vein was removed in 1996 during double bypass heart surgery"
Doesn't anybody see a problem here? An infection 10 years later "near the area" etc.
This is just cover. What is her true ailment? What is the true cause? Why is she in Methodist Hospital under an alias?
Either the print, TV, and radio reporters in this city are all exceedingly stupid, or they are all helping forward the leftist agenda.
Which is it?
