There are conflicting reports about whether she suffered some sort of medical episode like a stroke. Branson was hospitalized after the incident. When 10 News called to check on Branson, employees at CBS 2 only said that “she is doing much better.”
I’m sorry if she had a medical problem but this video made me laugh out loud.
Oh, and Alfie is becoming a parody of himself.
#65, did you suffer from a stroke too or do you always write non-sense?
I protest the use of my name by others…
That should violate a rule…
I protest to the moderators…why did they allow it?
#71 I found the clip concerning, nothing funny in it for me.
But I don’t condemn those who laughed first…things are often funny until one really thinks about the event…
#65 I did not write post #65
One of these did:

If the moderators allow posting by others, under my name…
Does that mean we can post as Dvorak…hhopper…
Inquiring minds want to know…
If something is not done, I shall have to leave this board altogether…
Don’t let the door hit your butt on the way out.
I wonder if schizophrenics ever have personalities disappear in a huff?
#75 Wasn’t written by me either…but its a brilliant idea.
NOTICE FROM DU:
As the real Alfred has pointed out, there has been someone impersonating him, Fusion and others. His name is Heinrich Moltke and he has been banned.
His fake comments are being deleted from this post.
We allow a lot here on DU, but these kind of attacks under false pretenses aren’t.
69 Uncy Dave,
Great… Now Alfred is going to have a swollen head… and not from meningitis…
BTW, how many times has Alfred threatened to leave this blog? It’s like he’s in an abusive relationship that he’s too scared to leave…
#69 Good, otherwise all discussion is impossible, one never knows who they are responding to…or the context of their remarks.
#70 I wouldn’t think of leaving you to your own devices…that would be cruel.
Named: I utterly disagree with Alfred on many things and wonder about his sanity at times
, but that doesn’t mean he should be silenced.
But if we’re going to have at least some level of reasonable discourse, impersonation kills can’t be allowed.
#73 It is astonishing how far from the founding principles society has gone.
That Government should not be in the charity entitlement business, because Government and religion must be separate, and the constitution only empowers it to defend us from foreign attack, and prevent states from erecting barriers to trade…is now seen as insane and radical extremist, is astonishing.
Aw, now, “banned”…
I left my e-mail address behind purposefully as a wink to the moderators. They were hardly personal attacks or “impersonation kills”. I had no idea that any of the comments on this blog were meant seriously.

“I wouldn’t think of leaving you to your own devices…that would be cruel.”
Spoken like a true statist…
Funnnneeee!
I did not find this video funny.
Oddly enough, I found #5′s comment hilarious.
[I found it hilarious at first but then felt sorry for her after I realized it might be a medical problem. However, it IS news and has been on hundreds of blogs, all the TV networks and most local TV stations not to mention newspapers. - ed.]
#78 That’s harsh…funny isn’t about intellect…reversals are instinctively funny…until one thinks about them…slap stick is that way…its funny till one dwells on the actual violence…
Or a sudden slip is funny…until one is concerned about the person slipping…
I didn’t find it funny because I first marveled at the words she was speaking…how the language was jumbled up…then empathy, concern kicked in…
Otherwise I might have first laughed…and then felt concern…as hhooper said he did.
Uhm…So my comment got deleted even though I was impersonating no one. I simply picked a different name for the fun of it. I used my own email which I seriously doubt anyone else has used. And I made a pretty tame comment compared with the rest of the thread. Wow. Just Wow. I’ll leave the commenting to the rest of you clever souls from now on.
Just one last thing, pseudointellectualism is the seed of the coming idiocracy.
