Stephanie Tubbs Jones dies.

The Associated Press: US Rep. Tubbs Jones of Ohio dies after hemorrhage

The congresswoman from the district that sits between my home district and the one where my school is died yesterday from a brain hemorrhage. She was a fighter.

Re: Stephanie Tubbs Jones dies.

Yeah it was unclear if and when they were gonna pull the plug yet or not.

I was gonna ask if it was your district or not, but guess not.

Its a shame for Hillary as that's another superdelegate gone.

There was a lot of confusion yesterday. First thing we heard was the pullover story. Then we heard that she died, but she actually hadn't she was in critical condition. But it seems that she has, in fact, now died.

Re: Stephanie Tubbs Jones dies.

Yeah, for sure. As soon as i heard the car story and that it wasn't a DUI i figured it must have been very bad.

Personally i couldn't stand the woman as she was such a hack (still grumbling about the 04 count in that district to her dying day and didn't even call for Bush when the House had to announce the vote).

I think the whole issue was to do with organ donorship and stuff yesterdy but even if they hadn't pulled the plug she would have been irreversably brain dead.

My thoughts are with her family. This must be rough for them.
