I take a different from some in that I don't actually think all elected officials need to give us constant updates about their medical health. An exception is the president, but even with the president I don't think we need the annual checkup results or similar. Any reason to think he's about to die or become incapacitated? No? OK, moving on.
What I find freaky with Mitch is that the instant response of everyone around him isn't to call for a doctor.
