Boxer Has Seizure

My heart raced when I saw the LATimes on-line headline:

Boxer Has Seizure, Then Brain Surgery

But it was one of those guys who fights in a ring, not a NoCal gal who fights in the Senate. Prayers to him; soul-searching to me.

I confess, my first reaction was not one of sympathy and compassion for my fallen representative to the US Senate. No, I saw the Bolton nomination moving forward and an embarassment to our state possibly silenced. Not exactly Christian love and mercy.

Did I feel compassion at all in the couple sections it took me to find out the story was about Ruben Contreras (who's stable), not Barbara Boxer (who is anything but)? I plead that it was a very short duration before the question became moot.
