“I felt like there were three angels in the room. And, interestingly, they had New York accents”

“There was a time with my left leg when my doctors said, ‘It will bear weight,’ and I thought, ‘You know, I’m the owner of this leg. Yeah, right. It’ll never bear weight.’ They were right and I was wrong,” Kirk said Tuesday in a sit-down interview in Washington…

Kirk needed three brain surgeries to help him heal. At one point he was so close to death he recalled angels speaking to him.

“I felt like there were three angels in the room. And, interestingly, they had New York accents, probably because the last movie I’d seen was on Channel 11, was the original ‘Ocean’s 11,’” he said.

That is what we need…our leaders to be a little slower, take their time, and understand that their is something bigger than them.

Blessings that he continue to recover, and leads with a clearer mind then the mindless hacks that surround him in the chambers.

This maybe the strongest evidence that angels don’t exist.
Angels would have a Boston accent.

“I felt like there were three angels in the room. And, interestingly, they had New York accents, probably because the last movie I’d seen was on Channel 11, was the original ‘Ocean’s 11,’” he said.

Channel 11 (Chicago PBS affiliate WTTW) shows movies like the original “Ocean’s 11″? You learn something new every day.

If he were watching Downton Abbey, would the angels have had British accents?

They might very well have had Boston accents if he had been watching “This Old House” when the stroke hit.

Local Chicago radio/newspaper personality Richard Roeper basically just stated that this event will turn Kirk into a more compassionate and understanding man who will want to work with the other side more because… of course, the implied but unstated belief that Republicans are mean and unreasonable. And, he will be more in favor of Obamacare because Kirk has taken a financial hit being in rehab for a year, even with the wonderful Congressional insurance plan.

See, Republicans, a severe stroke will fix you.

Un-fricken-believable.

The stroke, he said, did give him a new perspective on a major policy issue: health care. He said he still doesn’t support Obamacare but knows many of his constituents don’t have access to the top-flight medical treatment he received.

Ha well. Health and strength to you, Mr. Kirk.

Good thing he wasn’t watching Jersey Shore is all I’m sayin..
