You mean his body was finally booted from the morgue?

He still hasn't been seen publicly as far as I've seen/read.

So he's aphasic... I guess now they can make him say whatever they want.

His corpse will be buried at home?

He should have invested in a golf course burial plot.

Governor Andy Bashear (D-KY) on social media today:

"To ensure our great US Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) recovers safely and securely from his recent illness, I have deployed a detachment of Kentucky State Troopers and a flight surgeon from the Kentucky Air National Guard to his secure location.

In full accordance with HIPAA and state privacy laws, the flight surgeon will provide daily briefs on Senator Mitch McConnell's health to the great people of Kentucky.

Let's us all keep Senator McConnell in our thoughts and prayers."
