Lautenberg Has Cancer

The New York Times is reporting that U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg has stomach cancer.

In a statement distributed by Mr. Lautenberg’s office, Dr. Holland said, “We expect a full and complete recovery for Senator Lautenberg. The Senator will be treated with chemotherapy administered approximately every three weeks. We anticipate that he will receive between six and eight treatments, and in between treatments, the senator is expected to be back at work in the Senate.”

cancer's never good, especially at 86..it's too bad, but let's see how long they have the guy hang onto the seat,kind of like Byrd, Thurmond, etc..don't judges have to retire at 75?.. that seems kind of ok, maybe 80, if they're still well,and have their marbles, y'know?
