So the TX wingnut Governor (disabled) now has scalded limbs (I didn't wish it on him)

[UTUSN]

Just reporting that he has slashed Medicaid for kids/whomever, has smiled and smiled about closing as many Choice clinics as possible, has SUED "OBAMA" and the national government scores of times, SLASHED the top limit *OTHER* people can sue for in dollar amounts while *HE* reaped a couple of twenty millions over *HIS* disability.

I'm not superstitious, am a Secular Humanist. Although am wondering about "karma" ...

[font size=5]Texas governor burned in accident; could miss GOP convention[/font]

DALLAS – Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas sustained "extensive second- and third-degree burns" on both legs below the knees and both feet — and may miss next week's Republican National Convention as a result, his office said Sunday.

Spokesman Matt Hirsch said Abbott was with his family in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on Thursday when he was scalded in an accident involving hot water. He declined to provide further details. ....

1. My heart bleeds purple peanut butter. nt

2. Will he reject treatment paid for by government health insurance?

Didn't think so...

[Duckhunter935]

5. Of course not

[arely staircase]

38. The guy who sued the property owner whose falling tree disabled him

and then supported laws to keep others from doing the same?

3. Some people will do anything to avoid dealing with Trump

[bravenak]

14. I was thinking the same thing

Anything to avoid Trump

[Schema Thing]

15. You know that may really be all it is.

How would anyone know really?

[malaise]

34. You stole my thread

[dlwickham]

49. you're welcome

[malaise]

50. LOL

[Duckhunter935]

4. Sounds like a great excuse

I never wish a person harm and if true, I hope he heals. May not agree with him politically, but he is a fellow human being.

[HERVEPA]

7. Fuck him.

[chillfactor]

9. agreed....

he is a horrible excuse for a human being.

[Jim Beard]

26. Well guys, he doesn't bother me as much as the fruit cakes that

keep electing people like him.

[Rex]

6. I don't think of karma as a self-governing goddess as much as the idea of a tapestry of life

being woven by the choices we make. Outside what happens to him, he is a POS and should resign as soon as possible.

[GeorgeGist]

8. Sounds like an inside job.

[mountain grammy]

28. ......

[UTUSN]

10. Just for the record, *I* did *NOT* do-it/wish-it/whatever. His LT Governor is even *WORSE*!1

Although the both of them just *LUERVE* Ted NUGENT!1

[Shrike47]

11. He has my sympathy. Those are serious burns.

I've been burned. Twasn't amusing.

[Skittles]

12. same here

I cannot stand him but I wish him well

[840high]

27. So have I. Hurts.

I wish him healing.

[Captain Stern]

13. I always figured that guy would end up in hot water.

What? Too soon?

[kwassa]

16. DUzy!

If you can't stand the heat ...

[Ms. Yertle]

40. Funny!

Almost as funny as the Free Republic posts about Ted Kennedy's brain tumor. Aren't we better than them?

[Captain Stern]

42. So, I'm guessing you're thinking it was "too soon". Thanks for you input. nt

[Loki]

17. Greg Abbott has so much bad karma

built up, I'm not surprised.

[UTUSN]

18. Did I mention he is best buds with Ted NUGENT? n/t

[Ilsa]

19. I keep telling myself,

"Whoever mocks the poor insults his Maker; he who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished." Proverbs 17:5.

I should not be happy over his accident. It must be awful.

[irisblue]

20. third degree burns are a big freaking ugly deal. sympathy

cause dead burned skin debridement is painful& slow to heal.

[B2G]

21. And I would imagine his circulation is compromised

Due to his paralysis.

Nothing to joke about. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

[seabeyond]

31. I hear burns are the worst. Upside, with paralysis he may not have to feel the pain. Nt

[csziggy]

47. And that is probably why he was able to appear in public immediately

But will not be able to go to future events such as President Obama's visit to Dallas and the GOP Convention. At the very beginning, they can give lots of pain relief and wrap the burns to protect them. Later when the damaged skin starts to slough off and they have to debride the areas daily the risk of infection is far too high.

I've had third degree burns. My sympathies to the governor and I hope he recovers - even if he is a jerk.

[mwrguy]

22. I'll have a coke.

[UTUSN]

23. I love my DUers/Dems/Libs for the compassion they show to even dastards

I'm on the shock-line, not the elevated plane. I don't wish ill but sit on the riverbank.

I'm just asking: Did this man feel compassion for:

* the kids whose Medicaid he slashed?

* the persons who suffered disabilities like his, whom he later capped from suing for the millions that he got for himself?

* the underprivileged women who needed the clinics he helped to close?

* the underprivileged of whatever category against whom he sued the Feds to keep from serving?

* the minorities he has slighted and insulted while pandering to racists?

Repeating, I didn't wish things on him. And also I'm not wishing anything *for* him. He is what he is.

[csziggy]

48. Maybe his experience during his recovery will teach him more compassion

Good news for him is that Parkland Hospital has a very good burn center.

[Logical]

24. He is already paralyzed. Bad deal. Nt

[Gabi Hayes]

25. swift recovery, there, gopster

[eppur_se_muova]

29. Obviously, he's done something to displease God, or this wouldn't have happened. nt

[herding cats]

30. Third degree burns on immobile limbs is serious.

I wish him a full recovery. It's going to be a long journey for him.

[Orrex]

32. Was he at the Tony Robbins thing?

Nasty stuff. Not a fan of the governor, but I wouldn't have wished this on him.

[arely staircase]

39. Are you saying paraplegics shouldn't try to fire walk nt

[dembotoz]

33. if he did not want to go...a note from his mommy would have been enuf

[UTUSN]

35. *Wait* a minnit!1 President O will be in Dallas Tuesday - ABBOTT won't meet him either?!1

He was in Wyoming, whatever happened happened, then Dallas news broke and he HEROICALLY went to the public event in Dallas, but then might not be able to go to the DRUMPF event.

So some of us cynics suspect he wants to avoid DRUMPF. Well, even more cynically plausible, if he wants to avoid ANYBODY it's President OBAMA, whom he has derided and sued at every turn.

I mean, this dude hangs out with Ted NUGENT, so DRUMPF is not exactly lowering ABBOTT's bar on freedom of association...

******QUOTE*****

.... The governor was treated for several hours at nearby St. John's Medical Center. As he was being released, a top aide called from Texas to say a gunman had opened fire in downtown Dallas — an attack that killed five police officers and wounded seven others.

"His first words to us were, 'I've got to come back,'" Hirsch said.

Abbott held a press conference in Dallas on Friday, but didn't disclose being burned. Hirsch said that his legs were wrapped at the time, but that wasn't evident since they were covered by his pants. ....

[Catherine Vincent]

36. Not that it's any of our business but...

I'd like to know exactly how he got burned. Was his family not watching over him?

[UTUSN]

37. Yea we need some transparency here.

[clarice]

41. Have things really gotten this nasty? nt

[Orrex]

43. No.

They've always been this nasty.

[clarice]

44. That's a shame. nt

[Orrex]

45. Yup. Nature of the beast.

[UTUSN]

46. I do not hold myself to being "above" anybody. We humans are a MIX of all things.

Although I will defend myself to the extent of repeating for the 3rd or so time that you will not find any "wishing" bad stuff on the fellow. I did, however, and always will, raise a current news item and point out the subject's history of behavior toward other humans, the effects of his policies, etc. No apologies.

[clarice]

52. None asked for. nt

[Rex]

51. Too soon?

[gopiscrap]

53. oh well

[VOX]

54. Self-inflicted wound?

Just...you know.
