I'm sure someone else has brought up this question [View all]

What's up with Mitch McConnell? He went into the hospital over a week ago and is allegedly "receiving excellent care" and we haven't heard another word about it in over a week. No reason he went to the hospital, no diagnosis, no prognosis, nothing. We don't even know if he's still in the hospital.

A week is a long time to spend in the hospital. It has to be something serious.

I take the lack of news as a negative for McConnell. MineralMan Monday #4

At least he's getting excellent healthcare unlike his constituents Ritabert Monday #5

I think he's dead or comatose and the GOP is trying to keep it under wraps so Breshear can't appoint someone. BannonsLiver Monday #7

Sounds about right MIButterfly Monday #8

I would have a lot of sympathy for him TBF Monday #9
