McConnell Has Another Mental Episode

Red herring fallacy
Nope, sorry, Clay, but my supermarket has been all out of red herring ever since Joe got in office!

The thread’s about McConnell's clear mental health incapacity.
But at least Mitch eventually snaps back out of it and seems pretty normal again. Joe just heads from one fog-bank into yet another.
 
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell appeared to briefly freeze up and was unable to answer a question from a reporter at an event in Kentucky on Wednesday, weeks after he had a similar episode in Washington.


According to video from a local news station, the 81-year-old McConnell was asked whether he would run for reelection in 2026. The senator asked the reporter to repeat the question before trailing off and staring straight ahead for about 10 seconds.

A woman standing at the front of the room with McConnell asked him whether he heard the question and she repeated it. When McConnell did not answer, she announced to the room that “we’re going to need a minute.” McConnell eventually answered two additional questions — though not the one about a 2026 campaign — and was halting and appeared to have some difficulty speaking. The woman then ended the news conference and McConnell left the room, walking slowly.
 
Feinstein and before her, Thurmond. It is sad to watch regardless of who.
Agee beyond all the mud slinging and name calling that politics is, these are still people and at some point they need to be protected from themselves at times. It’s funny until it turns sad.

He was just thinking!
 
Jeez, it would be nice to see "leadership" that was not so old that they have to look at their feet on the way to a podium.

It reminds you of the old farts in the Soviet Union standing at Lenin's tomb on May Day.

Father Time, undefeated. He is far from alone in terms of maybe finding a new carer path.
