Originally published at: Kentucky Gov. Requests McConnell Update the Public on His Health Amid Weeks Long Hospitalization
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) formally requested an update on Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) health on Wednesday amid the senator’s recent and ongoing hospitalization. “Over the last several weeks, Kentuckians have grown increasingly concerned about the current state of your health and wellbeing, and ability to hold office in the United States Senate,” Beshear wrote…
Reminds me of when Spain’s Franco died. It was a standing joke on SNL.

Mitch would love to come to the phone, but he’s awfully busy having conversations with dozens of people simultaneously while kicking 100 yd touchdowns and shotgunning beers.

“Moscow Mitch“ is well beyond his use-by date.
I’m switching over to “RigorTortoise.”

When your employee doesn’t show up for work, you deserve to know. Moscow is a public employee of the citizens of Kentucky.

Mitch should call the governor of Kentucky and have a 20-minute conversation about stuff.

Ruh roh. Time to wheel him out like a scene from “Weekend at Bernie’s.”
Actually, I’d love to see Beshear simply appoint a replacement and watch all hell break loose.
ETA I just had a 20-minute conversation with Strom Thurmond who said his old friend was doing great. “I’ve never seen him perkier,” he said.

“Kentucky - the Vegetative State”
Anyway - how much brain activity is required to take dark-money payments and vote the straight Party line while avoiding your constituents?

Pick up the phone, call him. If need be, go visit his hospital room. Call his family, demand answers. Lies, disinformation, and corrupt shenanigans are happening. The voters of KY deserve better than this. The legacy and bad faith of Mitch McConnell continues.

This may be the only realistic option given the powerful incentives for Republicans to lie about McConnell’s medical status. This includes claims to have talked with him on the phone even if they weren’t lying outright; e.g., well trained ChatGPT or Claude are superb mimics and could easily pass particularly if the person on the other end of the line was not in the mood to be critical.

This reminds me of the time Leonid Brezhnev had a fatal cold for months.

This should be interesting. If there is video, look for wires or strings.

Via séance? Asking for a friend, LOL. He could be in full Ariel Sharon after the stroke mode, for all we know.

A letter! The proper thing to do would be to go to the hospital and demand to see him. That would generate a few days of media at least.
