Wow, when Colbert said ‘who knows how many months that lifetime ban means’, I guess he was right. (BTW, I am not minimizing what he is going through. My dad died of prostate cancer, and it wasn’t nice.)

Who should we blame, the blacks or his girlfriends.

His black girlfriends. I hate to see anybody suffer from cancer, but this doesn’t change anything. He’s still gotta go.

I think that’s pretty damned convenient.

Yes, clearly this is just to distract us all from Benghazi.

Prostate cancer among 80 year olds is very common. Normally it is a slow growing type but it can and does metastasize to the bones and internal organs. Ordinarily because this kind of cancer is slow growing older men die of some other problem before that cancer does them in. My sister’s husband recently had his prostate removed as his tumor was at the edge of the prostate and threatening to spread. He is 70 yrs old.
While I despise this man’s racist comments I would not wish cancer on him. I myself am a cancer survivor (not prostate) so I can identify how it brings ones mortality to the fore in a most unpleasant way.

Not meaning to seem without empathy here, but Prostate Cancer is not always a death sentence, depending on the stage. So many men of his age have it or get it. I wonder if we would have known this if he hadn’t gotten into all this trouble.

Great “old” minds think alike. My post is quite similar. I am not happy to know you had it, but I am happy to hear you are a survivor.

I have prostate cancer too and will have it removed using robotic surgery in 11 days. I am about 15 years younger than Sterling and I know I will be fine soon. It is very curable, at least at my age

Has cancer, is a cancer. It’s so hard to keep these things straight. Well he should sell the team to spend more time with his Grand Wizard.

I truly hope everything goes well in your procedure. Good luck.

Are we supposed to now have sympathy for this racist turd? I sure dont. I say what comes around…

A lot of older men have prostate cancer; it may not be life threatening.

15

An 80 year old guy without prostate cancer would be news.

Chammy, I doubt anyone would have heard about his cancer had he not let his racist inner self out. That type of cancer is depressingly common. Like 1 out of 1.5. And as I posted most are the slow growing variety. Not that it’s in any way pleasant. It certainly isn’t. But it’s a damned sight better than melanoma.

Reminds me KennyBoyLay’s ‘death’ after his Enron conviction…

Not an excuse, sympathy vote denied.
