ON CAPITOL HILL
SEN. MARK KIRK 'SAW ANGELS' FOLLOWING STROKE
Defining moment deepened faith in God


(DAILY HERALD) For Mark Kirk, there was no white light, no tunnel.

What Illinois’ junior U.S. senator experienced was three angels standing at the foot of his bed.

“You want to come with us?” Kirk was asked.

“No,” he told them. “I’ll hold off.”

The Highland Park Republican, who plans to return to the Senate when Congress convenes Thursday, recounted the story in his first in-depth interview since he suffered a massive stroke nearly a year ago.

1. Oh please

In order to get money from the crazy religious right, you have to say shit like this.

[tritsofme]

3. I don't see Kirk as a real religious right type.

I don't question his sincerity on this one.

2. Hallucinations can be fun!

9. I have had hallucinations and I wish I had seen beautiful angels...

but in one of mine I was in my local supermarket and I was being "work hardened" to ring up groceries...how sad is that? Sheesh...

[Arugula Latte]

18. Hah!

Ya gotta work on those altered states ...

[CTyankee]

21. Believe me, I would have had a "better class of images" if I had had the choice...

unfortunately, the circumstances that landed me in the ICU were not of MY making...
btw, the technical term is "ICU psychosis."

[DearHeart]

4. He's my Senator and I'm glad he's making a good recovery, but I was hoping that

instead of seeing Angels, he would follow the light to Universal Healthcare. Unfortunately, his stance on healthcare doesn't seem to have changed.

5. So he wasn't ready to participate in our three tier universe yet I take it.

Welcome back to the middle tier of flat earth Senator.

6. Angels? Why not Cubs, or White Sox? nt

[Berserker]

7. What kind of angels?

8. Night nurse, morning nurse & candystriper?

All do tend to wear white & I'm sure he was more than slightly incoherent ...

[NewJeffCT]

17. I think he saw naughty nurses

the type whose pictures would get deleted here on DU...

[Lucinda]

20. I haven't seen a nurse in white in years!

Around here they wear patterns or solid colored stuff.

[Cha]

10. Sorry, Mark Kirk is the one who LIED all the way through his

Senate Campaign. That's what happens when you have a rep for Lying. No one believes anything you say unless proven otherwise. At least I don't.

11. Coulda been the Andrew Sisters...Just sayin'..n/t

[MKITEM]

12. This is why I think after-life and heaven is bull crap

Why wouldn't people welcome death if they were so faithful? Nope they fear the hell out of it.

[AnnieBW]

13. Were They Weeping Angels?

Unfortunately, they didn't send him back in time.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Possible...hypoxia does weird things.

As is, all these things, hypoxia is believed to be at the heart of it.

[madmom]

15. We have a choice now?

[KittyWampus]

22. Your post made me really laugh out loud. LOL!

[Earth_First]

16. Oh FFS, Angles?

Why isn't this thread ushered off to Creative Speculation?

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. I think he saw triangles too

[cbrer]

19. White Angels...Yeah

I used to get "White Angels" from Doug the doper in High School. Two for $5.00

After a couple of days on THOSE things I had to say "No, I'll hold off" too!

[JI7]

24. i thought this was going to be a really sweet story

with the 3 angels being his wife and kids or some other loved ones who inspired or helped him to get better and want to live.
