(300,120 posts)In January and Tom Kean vanished for months.
Theres a photo of Mitch and his wife just released.
Said he fell and had pneumonia. He has been moved to a rehab center.
Senator Mitch McConnells team releases this photo of the Senator and his wife along with a lengthy statement from the Senator in which he says he wont be going anywhere.
He said he wont be able to return to the senate to vote just yet but rest assured that, in the meantime, Im not taking a break from the Senate business that matters to you.
He adds I still have unfinished business to complete on your behalf, and I have every intention of finishing the job you elected me to do.

(23,265 posts)Denzel Washington's character asks Christopher Walken, "Will God forgive us for what we've done?" Without a moments thought, Walken's character says, "No." I think the same applies to these Republicans.

I'm waiting for Lindsey to show up in the middle of the Strait of Hormuz with a bazooka in his hands.
