Brain-dead

An elderly man suffered a massive heart attack. The family drove wildly to get him to the hospital emergency room! After what seemed like an eternity, the ER Doctor appeared, wearing his scrubs and a long face. Sadly, he said, "I'm afraid he is brain-dead, but his heart is still beating." "Oh, Dear God," cried his wife, her hands clasped against her cheeks with shock! "We've never had a Democrat in the family before!"
