Whatever Happened to Mitch McConnell? | September 29, 2023

He fell. And had a concussion. While the rest of us looked on in horror.

Technically it could have been caused by a TBI, mini stroke, or seizure.

Leading to cognitive damage or an underlying neurological issue.

The Capitol physician deemed him ok to go. Not a neurologist, but a physician.

And “go” he should have done.

After two more stuttering silences, you have to wonder.

What if you were an 81 year old Congressman and it happened to you?

Or you were an ordinary person, like the rest of us.

I’d like to think you’d sit back and take stock of your situation.

But Senator McConnell forges on.

For better of worse, he is a proud Statesman.

Part of the best paid nursing home in America.
