Mitch Freezes Up

[TC Talks]

Good luck to you, Mitch. Stay well.

I have no ill will for an older gentleman who has dedicated his life to public service. I have issue with someone who should have retired and refuses to.

I wish him well also, and I won't even go so far as to say he should retire from being a Senator, but I do believe the time has come from him to step down from a leadership role.

The IT Crowd cracks me up too.

Here is how the handlers are spinning his freeze frame...

“I have consulted with Leader McConnell and conferred with his neurology team,” Brian P. Monahan, the attending physician to Congress, said in a statement Thursday. “After evaluating yesterday’s incident, I have informed Leader McConnell that he is medically clear to continue with his schedule as planned.”

Monahan added: “Occasional lightheadedness is not uncommon in concussion recovery and can also be expected as a result of dehydration.” He referred to an incident in early March in which McConnell fell and suffered a concussion and a broken rib at a private dinner at a Washington hotel. The Kentucky Republican was absent from the Senate for nearly six weeks as he recovered from his injuries. He returned to the Senate in April.

I do wish McConnell the best as well as Dianne.

I had a friend in his late 70’s who did this freeze up thing in my prescence and several other times I heard about. They were TIA’s or basically mini strokes. The symptoms passed after about 30 minutes and he was fine again.

No fan of Mitch, but I wish him the best of health. If its indeed TIA'S, he's at a higher chance of having a major stroke in the future. He really needs to step down from his Senate Minority Leader role.

Like you I wish him the best.
But no matter what this health issue is, he should not seek reelection.
