I was just listening to KNX Radio as I drove home today, and the top story concerns Carly Fiorina being hospitalized today, for what is described as an infection related to breast cancer surgery she had earlier this year.
I did a search, and it appears there hasn't been a mention on the site so far.
There are few details so far. The campaign had said only that Ms. Fiorina is in a "Southern California hospital." Surrogates filled in for her at campaign events today.
The radio hosts stated the Boxer campaign was treading lightly around the subject. It released the following statement:
We wish Carly Fiorina a speedy recovery and hope she is able to return to her normal schedule soon.
It often surprises me when I see news like this on political websites (especially the right wing ones) that people, emboldened by Internet anonymity will say the most hurtful things. While I don't support Carly Fiorina, I think that it's important that everyone wish her a speedy recovery.
Neither breast cancer nor hospital infections should be taken lightly. My wife and mother were each affected by one of those ailments in the last few years. My wife made it through breast cancer; my mother was not so lucky.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
