A day after freezing up at a press conference, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell publicized a letter from the attending physician in Congress that cleared him to continue working.
The note from Dr. Brian P. Monahan, written Thursday, attributed Mr. McConnell’s momentary paralysis to “lightheadedness,” associated with his recovery from a concussion he suffered in a fall five months ago. It also said the episode could also have been caused by dehydration.
“I have consulted with Leader McConnell and conferred with his neurology team,” Dr. Monahan wrote. “After evaluating yesterday’s incident, I have informed Leader McConnell that he is medically clear to continue with his schedule as planned.”

DC is becoming a sequel to Weekend at Bernies.
Biden, Fetterman, Feinstein and McConnell.
Anyone else?
Probably injected some WD-40 into his brain.
The Founding Fathers set a 6 year term for senators with their numbers staggered. We need to go back to respecting the balance they set up in the governing powers of the Constitution. We can’t make special cases because of past stupidity. If anything both Fetterman & Feinstein show how wrong popular election of Senators was.
The physician in Congress needs a check up
or there was a donkey head in his bed
That’s okay he’ll do it again and again until he has to cave and quit.
Episodes like that don’t stop by happening.
“Repeal the 17th Amendment!
State legislators couldn’t do worse!
You also might not need term limits. Every state legislator and state grandee would see themselves in that seat, there would’ve plenty of competition for it.”
I am down for that. State Leg could not do worse than where we are now, hope is maybe better.
Some Ky “Grandee” would have shuffled off McConnell by now.
Like... what’s the difference, Thune would be just as bad
Definitely!
Then someone would have to show him how to get back to Louisville or Frankfort!
Would anyone expect anything different?
He’s perfectly fine to just stand there.
< ctl >< alt >< del > - good as new.
Glitch McConnell
You don’t get to be a Senate doctor without doing what you are told.
Agree!
Well, if it works for Feinstein, Fetterman, and the Demented old Perv in the white house, WHY NOT McConnell?
After I posted my comment, I found your post and realized we both think alike!
How about if he JUST DROPS DEAD ON THE SENATE FLOOR when he has his next “little incident”.
I could really go with that; watching him twitch and drool while blood runs out of his ears and eyes on national television!
HAPPY DAYS.
