Into whose hands was Sen. McConnell discharged? His wife's, the undertaker's, or Victor Frankenstein's?

The credulous headlines from NBC and its like only help keep McConnell's status hidden. Nor is it helpful to have mental incompetents like Tommy Tuberville act as a cutout of a supposed conversation McConnell had with an aide.

As you say, if McConnell could still walk, talk, think, or act on his own without an aide's arm up his backside, he would.
