“I think we ought to be talking about what we were talking about earlier, rather than my health,” McConnell told CBS.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) seemed to think the health of the 81-year-old minority leader of the U.S. Senate was not an issue worth discussing during a sit-down interview with CBS.
His tight-lipped answer didn’t seem to satisfy Brennan, who wondered if McConnell meant he could still serve “at a time when we are talking about incredible dysfunction in Washington?”
“I think we ought to be talking about what we were talking about earlier, rather than my health,” McConnell shot back.
Fox News Sunday’s Shannon Bream also interviewed McConnell. She said in her introduction to her interview that she also asked about his health and he said “he’s doing great, and has a clean bill of health.” She did not air her questioning on the subject or McConnell’s response.
I definitely prefer the CBS model wherein we actually ask politicians questions with follow ups, instead of assuming answers like Fox does.
It's public business if any politician is fit to serve us, whether they're having health issues, conflicts of interest, or anything else. He can just say "I had a few issues/seizures (etc.). I'm taking care of things and getting medical treatment. I'm doing well, and I'm fit to serve. Now let's move on"
Yes, and we all know how reasonable the Catholic Childfucker Association is so that's a great example of why this geriatric fuck needs to publicly release his health records or get the fuck out of office.
lol. I hate McConnell, and I think discussing his health is important and it was a good line of questioning, but that's the least news worthy "getting testy" I've ever seen in my life. It's like the standard politician line when people are focusing on them, rather than the issues.
