Whatcha Gonna Do?
Hey man, how was I supposed to know the woman had leukemia? When I first read this on Wednesday evening after I'd submitted my column, I felt sick. I never want to see a story that I've written on have additional developments after I've submitted a column. So this was nauseating.
But after reviewing it, it's not as bad as I thought it was. I had a deadline and had to go with the facts I had at the time. Looking over my column, I'm kind of proud of the way I left open the idea that there could've been a medical problem.
But the point of my column was that there were things about the story that just didn't add up. And I wanted to just point out those inconsistencies and say, "Hmmm...what's going on here?" I have no idea if her leukemia was at fault or some medication or whatever. All I know is that the facts as I knew them seemed suspicious to me.
And even if you do have some neurological condition that impairs your performance, have it checked out and don't get behind the wheel of a vehicle. It's just too dangerous. With that said, I wish the Senator the best of health. I hope with the neurological testing she is to undergo, she finds some answers. Good health is the most important thing.
This wasn't the column I was going to go with this week. I actually was going to go with something else that I'm not going to discuss here because I very well may run it next week. It's always difficult writing about a fluid story.
That's all for this week. Drive carefully.
P.S. I'm serious. Can we get Sen. Migden a driver?
