THAT’S GROSSMAN!

A Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Massachusetts passed a kidney stone during a ninety-minute televised debate in the Bay State this week.

No really … this actually happened.

Steve Grossman – a former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman (who is currently serving as Massachusetts’ Treasurer) – passed the stone during a gubernatorial debate on gay and lesbian issues sponsored by MassEquality Education Fund.

Hmmmm … we wonder what was more enjoyable for Grossman: Passing the stone? Or sitting through a ninety-minute debate on gay and lesbian issues? Yeah. Flip a coin on that one …

Oh well. The incident did at least spawn a hilarious new Twitter account …

I sympathize with him for his pain, and give him credit for humor….

— thought that was some other guy who (they say) either didn’t know it or just ignored it and finished his speech (I did see a foto of him but don’t remember his name)

A kidney stone is a painful situation. Been there – done that! Don’t care if he’s a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or whatever – sorry to hear it!

No kidding, that’s just one of those things you can’t even wish on your worst enemies.

I skipped through it to points where Grossman was speaking. Could not really tell he was in pain.
