And he should have stayed in DC, where he could have been wheeled into the chambers like Robert Byrd, conforming to the highest standards of tradition with the Senate.
But no, he went and slinked off to Arizona. Now I ask you, if you just had cranial surgery would your doctor let you go onto an aircraft where the interior pressure altitude might have been 8,000 feet. How did he get to AZ and why permit it.
It all reeks to me that he wanted out of Dodge and now.
My money is that the Governor of AZ will soon be filling a Senate seat. Kelli Ward anyone?
He was at the Mayo Clinic in Phx for a “routine checkup”. Who approved surgery if he hadn’t been fasting?
There is a rumor - going around quietly - that he had to get out of DC because something bad was about to happen. I think he had the surgery scheduled for a while and the time wave of the Senate just caught up with him. Which means this is a very serious situation.
Way back in the day I flew charters, I had a “Red Blanket” flight taking a kid with a brain tumor to Md Anderson in Houston from Detroit... never got above 2500 ft in a Lear 25.
Priority handling by the ATC was amazing
