I agree on the morbid fascination....but the news media are prone to that sort of ghoulish stuff....

I don't think anyone truly wishes him ill......but I agree....it is unsettling...

Does anybody other than me think the grim reaper approach to Senator Johnson's stroke and illness is disgusting?

Of course it is disgusting, but so is politics and human nature. How many people actually thought Foley harmed any young people or if they did, was that their concern? Nope, the Senate was the concern and the crocodile tears over the perverts actions were all just putting an caring face on it.
People were glad it happened and most Democrats would rather things stayed as they are than to push a button and make certain no one was harmed. Hell they would have preferred a hundred young children were anally raped if it helped their cause.
