Glad to see something about Charles. His surgery must've been really severe to require what will be more than 12 weeks of ICU care followed by care at an "advanced rehab facility." In 2015 I had surgery for stage II colon cancer (so far, still so good), was in the hospital about four days, and required ten days of rehab. However, I'm not a paraplegic. Prayers and good wished for Charles and his family.

I wish him well.

And I hope he retires. I don’t like his politics.

[Codeflier]

Take your time Chuck. No rush to come back so you can piss me off every other day.

[EliRoom8]

A G R E E !!! Take lots of time off.

[pgkdan]

I hope he has a complete recovery but we don’t need him back. just retire Charles. And take George Will with you.

[Dr. Thorne]

Hoping he had a Beltway Elitist-ectomy.

[Pravious]

Ditto. He’s not quite as virulent an anti-Trumper as Kristol or Will, but he comes close.

Last I heard, removing your head from your arse IS a very complicated surgery with a lengthy recovery. In the case of RINOs, it also has a low success rate with a high frequency of relapse.

[FirstFlaBn]

Probably had to have all that Trump bile surgically removed.

[Jane Long]

Prayers up, for Charles. He is NOT, however, a conservative. Misleading first sentence.

[kjam22]

Amazing what they can do these days. He had brain surgery. Surgically implanting some “clues.” He can now end a lifetime of being clueless.

[billorites]

Jeez, this is a tough crowd.

[backwoods-engineer]

Please, please, stay away, Charles, you gun-grabbing liberal scum.

[Blue Highway]

Wasn’t the Kraut also a brain surgeon in his earlier life?

[Signalman]

He was/is a psychiatrist.

[libstripper]

Yes, I just posted a kindly little note, and everybody jumps on a poor, recovering invalid who’s had a really hard time with whatever surgery it was, and it had to be a BIG MOTHAH.

[Rebelbase]

Cranium rectal inversion reversal surgery is a delicate procedure with a long recovery time.

[Snowybear]

I wish him well too but I do not miss him one bit.

[GnuThere]

Being quadriplegic, he does not seem to have any respiratory reserve when he speaks, it seems labored. If he had a major surgery, it may have been a very prolonged time to get him off the ventilator. Sounds like a long road.

[bkopto]

Maybe Jennifer Rubin can help him, full time, in his prolonged convalescence.
