McConnell owes the people of his state (and the nation) a lot more transparency than he's giving them.
But, then, Mitch has always seen himself as an entitled taker, not a grateful giver.
Hook him up to a battery with long, strong cables, flip the switch and let him dance.

Dear Mitch:

Helluva pickle, huh? What you have to do, Mitch, is provide some convincing proof of life. Two reasons, Mitch:

(1) Rumors aplenty already swirl about you being dead, permanently incapacitated, etc. So, how's about let's put these to rest, shall we?
(2) Given your reputation as a prevaricating and mendacious dipsh#t that requires something beyond two photos with the missus, in which you appears as a stand-in for Terry Kiser in his signature role (absent the shades); and well beyond reports of "talks" with other prevaricating and lying dipsh#t pol buddies offered up as as alibi witnesses.

No, Mitch, proof of life. You, facing the camera, talking, with a today's-date copy of the Lexington Herald-Leader or the Courier Journal, your choice, on discreet but noticeable display.

If you can't do that, then just get the ------ out.
