Fumo Critical Following Heart Attack

State Sen. Vince Fumo suffered a heart attack last night. Today, he remains in critical, but stable condition at Hahnemann after emergency heart surgery.

Patients typically remain in critical condition after heart surgery, according to KYW 1060; the station says Fumo is awake and alert. He had an emergency angioplasty after doctors found total blockage of the right coronary artery.

This just can’t do! Poking fun at state lawmakers only works if they’re rich guys in good health. Fumo’s had back surgery twice in the last few months, and now this. Get well soon, Vince. Please don’t pay any attention to the people (on Phillyblog, probably) who will surely say you faked the attack to help win the election. And if you actually did that, then ohmigod you are the greatest politician in Philadelphia history.
