[ via Eschaton ] The Las Vegas Sun has this story about John Kerry:
Former U.S. Sen. Chic Hecht of Nevada is a staunch
Republican, but he thanks his lucky stars for Democratic presidential
hopeful Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.
On July 12, 1988, Hecht was attending a weekly Republican luncheon when a piece of apple lodged firmly in his throat.
Hecht stumbled out of the room, thinking he might
vomit but not wanting to do it in front of his colleagues. Sen. Kit
Bond, R-Mo., thumped his back, but Hecht quickly passed out in the
hallway.
Just then, Kerry stepped off an elevator, rushed to Hecht’s side and gave him the Heimlich maneuver — four times.
One reply on “Now all we have to do is wait for the Republicans to put together a “Heimlich Maneuver Dudes For Truth” ad”
but would he have done the same thing if it was bush…
huh? what’s that sound?
