| The Crypt A Cleveland television station is reporting that Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-Ohio) was hospitalized Tuesday night after police found her unconscious behind the wheel of a moving car. Cleveland’s WOIO reports that Arkansas State police tried to pull over a fast-moving sedan at around 9 p.m. Tuesday but got no response from the driver. When they managed to get the car stopped in a field, they found Tubbs Jones, 58, unconscious in the driver’s seat. A spokeswoman for the Huron Road Hospital in East Cleveland confirmed Tuesday night that Tubbs Jones was in the hospital but told the AP that family members wanted no further information released. WOIO said that Tubbs Jones' condition has been “stabilized.” Tubbs Jones, a strong supporter of Hillary Rodham Clinton who endorsed Barack Obama in June, was scheduled to attend next week’s Democratic National Convention in Denver |

| #11 I'm no fan of hers either, but this is just awful. The only good thing is that at least her car didn't hit anyone else when she was stricken. |

| #9 ...or not. Conflicting reports now, hospital sez in critical cnd'n. Little if any brain functioning, so perhaps an organ donor? I disagree with virtually all of her politics, but RIP |

| #4 How did the Police pull over a fast moving sedan with an unconscious driver? "Managed to get the car stopped in a field" leaves a lot unsaid. What ever they did it sounds pretty interesting. |

| #3 It was the white pimp-mobile's side view mirror that fired the dart. Great movie reference though! |

| #2 My first thought was that scene in Live and Let Die where Mr Big's gang shot the driver using a rear-view-mirror dart. Sad that my first thoughts on Obama turn to movie villians. Then again a few people see Hillary as Dr Evil, or Rosa Klebb so Im not that far off. |
