Info about others

A recent change added the criminal history of her late husband. This seems a little off topic and prejudicial. I can't find any reference to the 59 trip paid for by lobbiests either. She has made a large number of trips, but only a fraction of those are paid for by lobbiest or corporations. The rest are by non-profits and political entities. [1]

Also, there is quite a lot of information about her predecessor in congress, Louis Stokes. I think an interested reader could follow the link to learn about the Honorable Mr. Stokes. Just my 2c.

Better Know a District

Is it worth mentioning that she, like other congressmen from The Colbert Report's "Better Know a District" segment, was featured on the Report? Normally I wouldn't find that notable for Daily Show or Report guests, but maybe it would be worthwhile for relatively-unknown congressmen. Anyone else like this idea? --BDD 23:22, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's a good idea. --waffle iron 00:40, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

August 19, 2008 - Edit needed

The text now reads, "On August 19, 2008, Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs-Jones was taken to a Cleveland hospital after being found unconscious behind the wheel of a moving car." The car had come to a stop in a field when police identified the driver as the Congresswoman. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DVet78 (talkcontribs) 17:05, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dead

Being on life support is not dead. Edits claiming that she is dead are vandalism. No news reports have pronounced her dead.Dogru144 (talk) 18:02, 20 August 2008 (UTC) Dead -- http://blog.cleveland.com/plaindealer/2008/08/stephanie_tubbs_jones_has_died.html and confirmed by CNN.[reply]

Thank you, what an ignorant ass this moderator is. The Cleveland locals have been discussing it for over 30 min, the CPD posted it and now the national nets are talking about it. What a retard you are.

Death

CNN has confirmed her death. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.233.119.51 (talk) 18:09, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Everybody got it wrong, according to the news conference. She is NOT dead.24.178.114.72 (talk) 18:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
