Clinton applies pressure...

EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio (Aug. 20) - Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Ohio, a Democratic superdelegate, died today after suffering an aneurysm, Democratic sources told CNN.
Tubbs Jones, 58, was taken to the Cleveland Clinic's Huron Hospital in East Cleveland late Tuesday, said hospital spokeswoman Joyce Persuad.
Cleveland television stations reported Wednesday that the congresswoman was taken to the hospital after police found her in a car along a road in Cleveland Heights. Police Chief Martin Lentz did not immediately return a message seeking comment Wednesday.
The five-term Democrat was first elected in 1998, becoming the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress.
She is set to be a superdelegate at next week's Democratic National Convention in Denver. Williams would not comment on whether the congresswoman's hospitalization would interfere with that plan.
She was one of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's biggest boosters during the primaries, then threw her support to Sen. Barack Obama in June.

Don't feed the troll.

A woman died -- he made a tasteless joke.

You're better than that.

He didn't make a tasteless joke about the woman dying, he made a joke about the Clintons. It was funny.

Get over it.

If Keller claims it's a tasteless joke, then perhaps it is. Tasteless is his field of expertise.

PS - I just heard she's still alive.. but in critical condition.

She was an amazing woman, Stephanie Tubbs Jones. I really liked her.

I met her several years ago, and voted for her first in 1998. She was the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress.

She could make you laugh, while she told you why she disagreed with an issue you had brought to her attention. She would also work hard if she agreed with something you had brought to her attention.

I remember when I emailed her about the internet radio problems, dealing with the RIAA trying to control independent musicians' income. She emailed me back the next day, and said she would co-sponsor a bill with another representative and bring my concerns to the floor. That evening she called me on the phone stating that she had spoken with Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, and that he agreed to co-sponsor legislation in the Senate dealing with the same issue.

I may have disagreed with several of her votes, but I always respected her.

May those she knew get comfort from the wonderful woman she was, and the life of service she lived.

Did she end up dying? I posted this forum, but then was listening to the news and they said she was in critical condition.

Who would willingly name their child "Tubbs"? That's asking for complications due to a congenital heart defect.

Kucinich:
"She poured her heart and soul into her job," said U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio. "She worked so hard and gave everything she could. I'm devastated. Wherever we'd go, we'd speak of each other as brother and sister. It's an incalculable loss."


Obama:
"It wasn't enough for her just to break barriers in her own life. She was also determined to bring opportunity to all those who had been overlooked and left behind — and in Stephanie, they had a fearless friend and unyielding advocate,"


Hilary Clinton:
"Yesterday, we lost a colleague, a friend, an inspiration, and a champion for all of us. I am deeply saddened by the death of Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones. She was my friend and my sister. She made me laugh, smile and fired up my spirit when I needed it most.

She had a light that shone for the world to see within her and a fighting spirit safely stowed behind her disarming smile. Stephanie had so much integrity and a fiery intelligence that enabled her to become a one-woman force for progress in our country.

Stephanie was a tireless worker, giving a voice to the voiceless and always combating injustice. Stephanie spent much of her life fighting for all Americans and to ensure that everyone had the most precious right - the right to vote.

All of us who were lucky enough to know her and love her can only strive to be as much like her as we can -- to be as passionate, as loyal, as hard-charging, and as joyful every single day.

Stephanie was one of a kind, and we will miss our friend forever.

My family's deepest condolences are with Stephanie's son, Mervyn, her family, and her many loved ones, friends, supporters, and her beloved Ohioans. It is during this tough time that we look back and remember all the memories and blessings that Stephanie brought into our lives. If you have a thought, a story, a prayer, or condolences you would like to share, you can visit our website today so we can rejoice together in the friendship and love that we have for Stephanie. All the notes and memories we gather will be sent to her family on behalf of our extended family."


Me:
The woman was a jewel. If you would have met her you would know.
