1. HUP is the best
She's in a great facility.

Damn. I like that lady. I hope it's nothing serious, but, at her age, any fall is serious.

Damn. And that fucking Barbara Bush just left the hospital in Houston - and NOT FEET FIRST.

Life is unfair...........................

Joe Biden's mom hospitalized

Last update: 11:27 p.m. EDT March 15, 2009

WASHINGTON, Mar 15, 2009 (UPI via COMTEX) -- U.S. Vice President Joe Biden's mother has been hospitalized after a fall at her home in Delaware, Biden's office announced Sunday.

Biden spokeswoman Elizabeth Alexander made the announcement in a prepared statement.

"The Vice President's mother, Catherine Eugenia 'Jean' Biden, has been admitted to the University of Pennsylvania hospital today after a fall at her residence in Delaware," Alexander said. "She is currently receiving treatment and is in good spirits."

Biden devoted a section of his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Denver to his mother, who is 91. He said she taught her children "that you're defined by your sense of honor and you're redeemed by your loyalty."
