Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, hospitalized for second time in just a few months

35. It wasn't "immediately" made public why he was taken to the hospital?

Okay, so he was taken to the hospital on Sunday morning. It's 20 minutes past midnight now (1:20 am Monday Washington DC time), and as far as I have been able to learn, no reason has been yet been announced. If "immediately" was a horse, I'd say it left the barn a long ass time ago!

I doubt that we'll ever be told the reason for the hospitalization. One of 3 things will probably happen:

1. If he croaks, the news will switch to being all about funeral arrangements, and we'll be given a minimal amount of information about the cause of death.
2, If he recovers enough to return to work, we'll be given a suspiciously rosy report on his condition.
3. If he survives but is not in any shape to fake continuing to be a senator, we'll be told that he decided to move his retirement up, and we'll be given a suspiciously vague report on his condition.

No matter what happens, none of us here at DU will miss him!
