Happy Turtle Day, Sen. Mitch 'Turtle' McConnell!

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Maybe the same guy that kicked Rand Paul's ass put the beat down on Mitch. Or maybe his Chinese wife put some kung fu on his ass.

But why is Gandalf the White pictured? Mixing such wizardry is dangerous magic, and an affront to literature.

Based on very little information I would guess a severe and largely untreatable blood disorder, perhaps leukemia. We may find out the day after the ACB confirmation or the day after the election.

Or, the "Dorian Gray" spell is wearing off.

In the film adaptations of Philosopher's Stone (2001) and Chamber of Secrets (2002), Dumbledore was played by Richard Harris, who was expected to play the character throughout the series. Harris mentioned that he was originally not going to take the role, since he knew his own health was in decline. He accepted because his then-11-year-old granddaughter threatened never to speak to him again if he did not take it. Harris was determined to portray Dumbledore again in Prisoner of Azkaban (2004), despite having been diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, and asked David Heyman not to recast the role. However, his death on 25 October 2002 necessitated recasting.

Ian McKellen was offered the role, but he turned it down, having played the similar character Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, as well as feeling it would have been inappropriate to take Harris' role, as Harris had called McKellen a "dreadful" actor....

I don't see any definitive indicators of a stroke. He just bought himself a full workup, including brain MRI, though. Top of my list would be lingering effects of his March TBI, but could be something as simple as a med reaction.

Apparently recovered pretty quickly, was reported to have taken a couple of questions in his office.

It was a stunt with a clever graphic representation of a govt shutdown.

I don't know that it needs to be "news" every time a geezer falls. It may be more significant if it's the President, but McConnell is easily replaceable and is pretty worthless anyway.
