Phantom 2,500 Posted October 17, 2012 George McGovern now 'unresponisve.' http://www.keloland....sive/?id=138613 Never can tell when someone goes into hospice care. I think the average time is about 2 weeks before someone goes in and then finally dies. When my nan passed away, we didn't even get around to taking her to a hospice, her health declined so rapidly she died in hospital instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure why they've got him on life support. I thought the whole idea of going into a hospice was to live out your final days in comfort, not to prolong them.

Maybe the Democrats are doing what I suggested the Republicans should do with Nancy Reagen, waiting for the opportune momnet to make most electoral capital out of the passing of a veteren party figure.

msc 18,019 Posted October 18, 2012 If Mcgovern dies he will be the third or forth of my 2013 list to die before 2013. That always happens from October on. Look at last year with Philip Gould, Hitchens, Heesters, Socrates, Ken Russell and Joe Frazier all popping their clogs just too early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All you did was post the fact that he was nearing the end I think now that they were either waiting for today as less news tends to happen on a Sunday or waiting for the whole family to be at his bedside.
