His tight-lipped answer didn’t seem to satisfy Brennan, who wondered if McConnell meant he could still serve “at a time when we are talking about incredible dysfunction in Washington?”

“I think we ought to be talking about what we were talking about earlier, rather than my health,” McConnell shot back.

Fox News Sunday’s Shannon Bream also interviewed McConnell. She said in her introduction to her interview that she also asked about his health and he said “he’s doing great, and has a clean bill of health.” She did not air her questioning on the subject or McConnell’s response.

I definitely prefer the CBS model wherein we actually ask politicians questions with follow ups, instead of assuming answers like Fox does.

It's public business if any politician is fit to serve us, whether they're having health issues, conflicts of interest, or anything else. He can just say "I had a few issues/seizures (etc.). I'm taking care of things and getting medical treatment. I'm doing well, and I'm fit to serve. Now let's move on"

But of course he says nothing like that.

“I think we ought to be talking about what we were talking about earlier, rather than...

...my health,” McConnell told CBS.

As a priest-friend once told me: "The pope is never ill, except when he is dead."

The turtle needs to take his shell and go home.

Die already, you damn ghoul

lol. I hate McConnell, and I think discussing his health is important and it was a good line of questioning, but that's the least news worthy "getting testy" I've ever seen in my life. It's like the standard politician line when people are focusing on them, rather than the issues.

Quick frustration, easily agitated?

Sign of dimensia?

Recovered from what?
