Falwell Removed from Ventilator

They say it's because he's doing better. As a matter of fact, for someone on a ventilator in the first place (that usually takes a bit of a catastrophe), you'd think he was still busy telling God what to do.

The latter is unique in that he was brought in Monday night after "5-7 minutes of unconsciousness" and unable to breathe.

Another interesting note is that Falwell's people keep saying he has pneumonia, and the doctors say he doesn't. Doctors say congestive heart failure and the Falwell people say "robust health" and that he was talking while on the ventilator (physically impossible I believe with the ventilator actually connected).

Most interesting still is the comment on CNN that "he did not appear to suffer any neurological damage". Considering what comes out of Jerry Falwell's mouth on a regular basis, how the [bleep] could you tell? ::cough::

Let's face it: if he's getting a reprieve, it's because God doesn't want to deal with him, almost proof that God is a more intelligent being than many humans. As I say, God's got His (or Her) work cut out for him/her when Falwell, Robertson and yes, our Bush, Rove, and Cheney die. But I don't think it's because they're on the fast track for the pearly gates.
