that they are being credible. A photo if possible, but otherwise, something the family allows to be reported or McConnell himself.

If it is true.

You can speak to a corpse for 20 minutes, you're just not likely to get a response.

Either they're going to have to prop him up in bed or they're going to have to admit he's past it.

The Senate has been turned into a nursing home by ancient politicians for far too long. We really need a retirement age there and elsewhere.
