Republicans have cooties.
Pass it on...
Health officials are investigating an outbreak of illnesses at a Philadelphia hotel that recently played host to about 200 Republican leaders, including President Bush.
At least 69 guests at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel -- all attending a business conference -- went to the hospital last week when a mystery bug caused dizziness and vomiting. More fell ill, but did not seek medical attention.In addition, two people at a GOP retreat to discuss party policy January 29-31 -- a member of House Speaker Dennis Hastert's staff and a second staff member's spouse -- became ill the day after checking out, an aide to the Illinois Republican said Tuesday. Neither was hospitalized.
Philadelphia Health Department spokesman Jeff Moran said investigators are looking at several possible causes for the outbreak, including food contamination and the Norwalk virus, an illness that has been known to afflict travelers on cruise ships.

Just a reminder, this "GOP retreat to discuss party policy January 29-31" is the one where House members from all over the country ripped K. Rove a new one over all the flak they were getting from consitutuents upset with the Glorious Leader, particularly the then-recently announced immigration plan.
Anybody notice that this GB-AWOL story has completely driven that little debacle out of the debate and public consciousness?? I miss it and want it back. It would look so nice on the mantel next to the comment from the GB economic adviser that shipping high-paid American jobs overseas is GOOD for The Economy.

The pubs seem to serve a lot of roast beef at their gatherings. Perhaps a bit of Mad Cow? Bad Karma?

Just as AIDS is God's wrath against homosexuals, this must be God's wrath against Republicans.

These are the people who are going to protect the public from biological and chemical threats?
