Henry Hyde, ill?

From Daily Kos, we read

Daily Kos :: IL-06: What's the matter with Hyde?:
The scuttlebutt from local REPUBLICAN Insiders is that Henry Hyde is NOT at the Republican Convention this week, because he is too ill to attend. (See August 31, 2004 issue of Crain's Chicago Business Magazine).

I personally spoke to one of his neighbors from his Wooddale Condo complex, who says he doesn't appear to be home, either (his customary complimentary car from a local dealership isn't in the parking lot).

So this begs the Question, "Where Is Henry Hiding?" My guess is Bethesda Naval Hospital, or somewhere similar. He has been deteriorating RAPIDLY over the last few months.

In fact, some of the DuPage Republican Powerbrokers are privately fretting that he may not survive til the election...And it's too late now to replace him on the ballot if he does succomb.

I saw him at the Wheaton 4th of July parade. He looked TERRIBLE! His skin had a "Waxy Palor" to it...Similar to Kidney Dialysis Patients.

Several people who watched the parade commented that he looked like "the dead guy from Weekend at Bernie's ". He just sat like a stone in the back seat of the car...Didn't even attempt to wave, or acknowledge the crowd in any way.


I have a friend who lives, allegedly, in the same building as Mr. Hyde, I'll have to see if he has any additions to this. I don't wish Hyde any ill, I just wish he would retire already.
