“I would like to make him a broth of Legionella and pump it into the water system of his loved one, so that they can be infected, they can be mistreated, they can sit and suffer by getting aspirin instead of being properly treated and ultimately die. And we are talking about our nation’s heroes.”

– Illinois Democrat state representative Stephanie Kifowit of Oswego, of a Republican colleague who opposed a bill to raise caps on tort claims arising from an outbreak of Legionnaires’s Disease at a veterans’ home in that state.
