| Frank Lautenberg diagnosed with treatable stomach cancer | |
| 2010-02-19 | |
| U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg, New Jersey's 86-year-old senior senator, was diagnosed with treatable stomach cancer in the last 24 hours and will begin chemotherapy today. The Democrat still plans to finish out his current term -- his fifth in the Senate -- and seek re-election in 2014.

| #7 Don't forget Lautenberg got to the Senate in 2002 in clear violation of New Jersey election laws (no new candidates within 30? days of election) when Sen. Torricelli resigned under Federal indictment. Constitution? That's for suckers and proles. |

| #6 And supposedly he is the spearhead of the Lautenburg bill to get soldiers retroactive stop loss compensation pay (500/per month). Im praying for his recovery. |

| #5 Dreadful way to check out. Seen it before, not at all pretty. Thank you for your US Army Signal Corps service in WWII. |

| #3 Frank Lautenberg is alive? I thought they officially pronounced him dead during the last budget debate. |

| #2 Believe it or not, the Dem weasels in NJ were looking at changing the laws on Senator replacements (a-la Mass)on 12/07/09 while Corzine was still in office, and Christie was waiting to be seated. I don't know how far it got or where it stands. LINKY |
