Oh, boy
CNN.com - Sharon taken to hospital - Dec 18, 2005
He had a stroke, which can't be a surprise since he's 77 years old and overweight. He's described as "conscious but confused".

I keep cracking up over the way the news media refuses to use the word "fat." AP describes him as "extremely overweight" and mentions his "obesity problem" later in the article.

He's practically spherical at this point. Maybe that's the way to go -- geometrical terminology. "Prime Minister Sharon, who is an oblate spheroid, was released from the hospital today."

"Conscious but confused"? Sounds like Bush.

Speaking like that about the President undermines our troops.
