Gerry Studds DEAD just annonced on C-SPAN1

[bigdarryl]

DAMN what timing

[MrScorpio]

1. I just heard it myself

Yes, it is

[lwcon]

2. I daren't speculate on what happened, but...

One might imagine that the Repubs' obsession with dredging up his decades-old scandal as a smokescreen for their here-and-now malfeasance may have somehow been a factor.

Hey, the liberal light is always on at the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy. Please stop by and say "hi!"

3. But, do they dare bring it up now

If they mention Studds now, they REALLY look bad, such disrespect for someone who has just died. Oh, wait they have no decency.

5. Not only do they not have decency...

... they're going to love the way it dredges Studds back from obscurity.

4. Another "coincidence", not. eom

[Totally Committed]

6. On Oct. 3rd he "collapsed" suddenly...

They say it was a "clot in his lung". Uh-huh.

When did the Foley scandal break? --- Around Oct. 1st, right? Can anyone say "Wag the OTHER Scandal"????????????

the timing of his "collapse" is WAY TOO COINCIDENTAL for me, thanks. The NSA, CIA, and other agencies have ways of making anyone's death look like it was caused by anything these days. Sorry, I don't buy it.

RIP, Gerry.

7. The other CT, "coincidence theory", just doesn't work anymore.

8. Except isn't it better for them if he's alive?

His death will make the news, of course, but if he were alive he could still be interviewed and photographed and questioned and trotted out as a live example of a "bad" Democrat.

10. No... and here's why:

We will now have DAYS of people talking about Studds legitimately, but you know the Republicans... this will be the never-ending funeral where all they talk about is his past "indescretion", and the MSM will be only too happy to make it as lurid as possible 24/7.

I think he was meant to die sooner than this and held on longer -- WAY longer -- than they thought. They'll turn this into the "They did it, too" Mardi Gras now. Just watch. They'll use this non-stop, for as long as the MSM lets them.
