The Argus Leader reports, with a rather aggressive headline, that Tim Johnson is being transferred to a rehabilitation facility whose location will remain a secret from the media:
More than two months after surviving a massive brain hemorrhage, South Dakota Sen. Tim Johnson was quietly moved from George Washington University Hospital last week to a private rehabilitation facility.
The Democratic senator’s staff would not reveal the name of the facility or even its general location out of concern the news media or camera-wielding citizens would pester him. His staff waited until Tuesday to tell the public that Johnson was moved on Friday.
“When he first went into the hospital, there were cameras camped outside our office in D.C. and two of the three offices in the state and outside of the hospital for days on end,” Johnson’s spokeswoman Julianne Fisher said. “It was very intense.
I don't blame the family for keeping it a secret considering the way the media reacted when they learned of Johnson's medical condition.
