Mitch McConnell has episode at the podium

I didn't take your post to suggest you didn't feel for him. I was really referring to his office saying he's fine. No, he is not.

 

I thought it looked bad, which is why I was hoping with greater subject matter expertise could weigh in

 

"There is no battle against old age. It's a massacre."

I believe that quote or something very similar is from Philip Roth's Everyman

 

Good quote. Also the only undefeated opponent for an athlete

 

"Father Time is undefeated" is the saying I most remember.

 

Oh, man. That really looks bad. I hope he is ok.

 

I was thinking that he was having a seizure when I first saw the video. Not every seizure causes you to go into convulsions. Some people's seizures (absence seizure) causes them to stare.

*edit* A stroke definitely makes sense too. He really needs to go to the hospital

 

He looked like a two year old crapping himself.

 

I thought his speech sounded slightly slurred pre event.

 

I think at a certain age people need to take competency exams to drive and to govern. Maybe a test every two years after the age of 75.

 

I hope after he made his reassurances to the press, he made his way to the nearest MRI. My husband has had 2 TIA's (mini-strokes), one virtually undetectable, one that took 12 hours to resolve. Brain scans were taken both times.

 

It looked like someone whispered the latest UK 2024 recruiting data into his earpiece.

 

My father went through that too. It's what I thought about

 

Don’t like him much but hate to see it.

Exhibit 2,435 of why our country doesn’t need to be run by a majority of septuagenarians and octogenarians.

 

Post concussion seizure is the most likely cause. Sequela from the brain injury. Glad he is OK

 

Yeah. This guy looks capable of making laws that affect my life.

 

he’s never been much of a lawmaker. More of an obstructer and rules manipulator.

 

Guess he should run for President

 

At least he can't start a war.

 

Him and Feinstein should retire at the same time. Both are past their expiration date.
