Showing Original Post only (View all)Am I missing something here...? [View all]
Yesterday, NBC News reported, and as of this posting, its still on their site, that paramedics responded to a cardiac arrest at Sen. McConnells residence. I have not seen any reports that hes awake or alert.
So the question is, is he in a coma or brain-dead ( insert joke here) and on life-support? And how is this not a public story since hes an elected individual? Enquiring minds want to know!!
(And for all you lurking MAGATs or other sanctimonious individuals, do recall that Hair Furor positively gloated over the deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife, among many others. Accusations of being ghoulish will be met with verbal howitzers from yours truly.)

They've probably got him on life support to keep their numbers up. I say pull the plug.
