KANSAS CITY, Mo.- Republican Rudy Giuliani was admitted to a hospital Wednesday night for flu-like symptoms, his campaign said.

The former New York City mayor felt the symptoms while campaining for the Republican presidential nomination in Missouri, and they soon became worse, campaign spokeswoman Katie Levinson said. The mayor decided to go to a St. Louis hospital and spend the night there, she said.

"The symptoms worsened as the day wore on and shortly after taking off from Chesterfield, Missouri, for New York the mayor became uncomfortable enough that our plane returned to the airport in Chesterfield," Levinson said. "To be on the safe side, the mayor consulted with his personal physician in New York and made the decision to go to the Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis for routine tests."

Giuliani will decide his next step Thursday morning, said his spokesmwoman, Maria Comella. He had no scheduled appointments for the day, she said.

3. Isn't it nice that he has insurance, and a trip to the hospital won't bankrupt him.

Think of the millions of Americans who don't have that option.

Be glad that you have access to health care, Rudy. Millions of Americans don't, and your party doesn't care that they don't. Think about how much worse you'd feel without all that attention and medical care.

Think about that, but I know you won't because you don't have a heart or a soul. If you did, you wouldn't be a Republicon.

Republicans = the part of big business, hate, death, destruction, torture, corruption, and cronyism. So much to be proud of. :eyes:

5. He has the shits again???

[Vinca]

6. Flu-like symptoms?

He goes to the hospital for a touch of the flu???? Yet he bucks at offering a healthcare plan to the rest of us and would love to take Medicare and Medicaid away if he could.

[SpiralHawk]

7. Of course, he's a republicon homelander

They like to think they are 'special' and that the citizens of the United States of America are their Proles.

8. He's on his way back to NYC this morning. Hmmmm.....

throwing in the towel?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

15. Don't you mean "throwing UP the towel"?

...One can only hope he's experiencing the full range of flu-like delights... :evilgrin:

[Avalux]

16. lol - that sounds more accurate!

I doubt he even has the flu; he's just a chicken-shit running home cause he's losing.

[YDogg]

9. Sick from all of the time he spent at ground zero, no doubt.

I guess his heroism and self-sacrifice caught up with him.

[beastofbourbon]

10. Nervous Breakdown ?

could be.............he has hit the wall..........it's turned into a tent revival and rooty has no Jesus cards in his hand..............

[kskiska]

13. He's got a live-in nurse and "bioterrorism expert"

21. Get well, Rudy!... HILLARY 2008! :) nt

22. Anybody who winds up hospitalized for the flu is too sickly, too old or too whiny to be president.

My job's about a million times less important and I had to go in with bronchitis, for heaven's sake.

In Rudy's case, I'm going with option three.

26. Hey Rudy!

If you can't handle the flu, how do you expect to handle Al Qaida?? :sarcasm:
