Kind of sad really, he is old and should retire, but greed and power have taken him, so he gets what he gets.
No pity here...

(17,527 posts)He has done a backflip on the rules for an election year SC appointment.
Of course, in the incident above, he may have just had too much of that lovely brown beverage that his home state is known for. And, as one tottering old man to another, I wouldn't give a damn if broke his nasty neck.

(268,903 posts)Now I'd actually feel sorry for him if he had once condemned his president for not only mocking a disabled man, praising a seventeen year old for killing two people, and then getting up on stage two days ago and celebrating police shooting a rubber bullet at Velshi. I don't give a flying fuck except that I hope it's a metaphor for all ReTHUGs falling down.
Fuck you MoscowMitch!

(268,903 posts)In 1944, at the age of two, McConnell's upper left leg was paralyzed by a polio attack. He received treatment at the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation. The treatment potentially saved him from being disabled for the rest of his life.

Ms. Toad
(34,060 posts)He has acknowledged that it impacts his ability to climb stairs - so yes, it has disabled him. In addition, post-polio syndrome also rears its ugly head decades after the initial infectino, so even if he was symptom free for a period of years - I would expect his symptoms to increase as he ages. That is the nature of the beast. Like shingles, polio is the gift that keeps on giving.
