I Hate My Gout!

Came across a few articles this morning, all mentioning US Lawmakers and their individual ailments including Gout…

So it seems some members of Congress have Gout, that would be Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.), who has it in his feet, and Del. Eni Faleomavaega (D-American Samoa).  Its been noted before that Pacific Islanders suffer from Gout more so than any other ethnic group.  My friend Richard in Hawaii has been in the hospital for weeks at a time because of Gout parking in many joints in his body at once.  Ouch!

Rumor around Capitol Hill is that Rep. Mike Honda (D-Calif.) has Gout.  But neither he nor his staff will admit to it.  C’mon Mike, come out of the “Gout closet” and support us “Goutaholics”!
