Awful long time to be on vacation.

His doctor had forbidden him to use his voice, which makes me think an inflamed larynx accompanied his bronchitis. On Wednesday, he tweeted a message saying he was cleared by his doctor to begin using his full voice on Monday, so he should be back then.
I've had the same exact thing for the last three weeks. It's a nasty bug! A constant cough ... sore throat ... difficulty breathing and talking ... it hasn't been fun! I have asthma, so that's complicated things a bit more for me, but my doc said many of his patients have it. It doesn't respond well to antibiotics and you pretty much have to ride it out.

You have lost all credibility when people question whether you are sick or lying due to work place issues.

(21,475 posts)I find Rachel extremely informative. She has a way of informing people without seeming to lecture them or talk down to them. Lawrence Odonnell does that pretty well also. Keith is more of a firebrand but also quite informative. I trust those three explicitly and can not say that about any other political talk show hosts..

(2 posts)Keith, Rachel and Lawrence are also my most trusted sources of political information. The very few times they have ever made a mistake, they have corrected it immediately and apologized. Each has their own special and inimitable style. I record all their shows and always find time to watch them.
