From a press release I received via email:

(Atlanta, GA) – Lt. Governor Casey Cagle will undergo surgery to correct a degenerative spinal and neck condition on Monday, April 27th. Cagle announced last week that he will run for re-election and stepped aside in the race for Governor in order to properly address his health.

“It has been humbling to hear from thousands of caring Georgians during this process. My family and I greatly appreciate the thoughts and prayers of so many and especially as I undergo surgery on Monday,” said Lt. Governor Casey Cagle.

A medical update will be provided by Emory upon the conclusion of the surgery. The Lt. Governor and his family appreciate the media’s respect of their privacy as they prepare for Monday’s surgery.

thank god they have a cap on surgical error, legal damages. those back surgeries are kinda notorious and the way politicians know how to work the sytem, casey would probably break the bank with a lawsuit if the banks weren’t already broken from conservative oversite or lackthereof.

seriously, get well soon, cousin Casey.

I will be praying and fasting for you that day. You are the main reason why I am a Republican and so involved in politics. God speed in your recovery Mr. Cagle….

Anyone get the feeling that SFrazier is Cagle’s answer to North GA Indy?

No more than you being the ox’s lapdog.

Bart, You don’t get the joke. North Ga Indy loves, loves, loves Ox. He thinks he his God’s gift to women and everyone else. He can do no wrong.
It’s funny. ;-)

So I’m actually making fun of one of Oxendine’s supports. I must make a great lap dog, huh Kellie? :)

I thought it was a great joke, Jason. Bart hasn’t been around long enough to appreciate it.;-)

Have unnecessary surgery, possibly save two political careers, still have a paying job, some legitimacy and dispell the rumors? Or ? The knife may safe save his job.

I will be praying and fasting as well Sean. I look forward to seeing you at the convention and yes, I will be happy to point out Jason Shepherd to you.

mikescobb -

Please keep your stupidity and blatant rumor mongering to yourself. You have to be nuts to think someone would have doctors tear open their back and grind on their spine for some fake out.
