He was just off in his Happy Place… Like David Spade did in Just Shoot Me when he learned his dad was dating Nina. (couldn’t find the clip.)
Seriously tho, the Dems should take this opportunity to say to the Repubs: "OK, we both replace a Senator (Diane and Mitch) and we keep the status quo power without either party (read: Repubs) trying any hinky power play horseshiat with one less senator on the other party.
And howza’ bout Gohmert, Jordan, Cruz, Gaetz, etc… They’re all dumb as rocks.
This old saw again?
In all seriousness, speaking as someone who is no Bush apologist, and voted against him twice:
What would you expect him to have done instead? Gasp in horror? Run off in a panic? Hop into a nearby time machine and kill baby Osama?
As far as I’ve ever heard, there was no finite information at that point in time about other targets, culpable parties, or actionable anything. (I’m happy to be informed if I have that wrong.)
The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t…
I don’t think old Republican’s have loved ones. Perhaps handlers, which I guess he sort of does, as someone did step in. 
jeebus. that really is horrible.
no one deserves to be treated as a weekend at bernies prop, even if they have been as horrible a person as he has.
unless this is what he requested – which given his past actions seems entirely possible – in which case fuck him.
Maybe they should check his brain for worms.
Given his last episode, it’s really hard for me to imagine that his “loved” ones would have stayed away… handlers or no handlers. The Turtle’s PR geniuses may have suggested that, due to the optics, his “loved ones” be off camera… but still visible to McConnell and provide at least that comfort. And can’t have family members in a panic going up to the podium while the cameras were rolling. Nope. Performative fucking shit-show.
LOL! Nope!
Just another tool to be used until it’s no longer useful, then discarded. Who’s next?
Three things are true:
I’d like to say I feel bad for him, but I don’t.
DiFi is my Senator and I think it is time for her to retire. BUT the GQP will not allow any new Judiciary Committee Dems if she dies or retires. Just like they shivved Merrick Garland. Then rammed thru one of the most unqualified Supes ever (really? Kavenaugh’s ‘job interview’ would get you shown the door anywhere else, everywhere else). I like beer!
… IF ONLY the Democrats had a majority and could do whatever they wanted 
I think the most appropriate thing to do (when they realized that McConnell was in lala land) would have been to pick him up like a little kid, sling him over the shoulder, and carry him away.
Whereas I feel absolutely tip-top elated in not having even the tiniest urge to feel anything for him other than pure hatred. I’m an owl, so I roll that way.
