| What If Some Members Of Congress Have Alzheimer's? |
| 2018-12-13 |
| [Hot Air] This is a subject which popped up on Twitter this morning and even though it deals with a story that more than a year old it’s worth a quick look. The subject at hand deals with an article in Vox (I know... I know...) from last October which cites a report from Statnews that same year. It deals with a pharmacist in the Washington area who is quoted as revealing some health information about members of Congress without naming any names. He sees some of the members regularly, filling prescriptions for them, and allegedly some of those medications are for Alzheimer’s Disease. |

| #7 Ginsburg is in better mental shape than a whole lot of Congress critters. And to her credit, she has always been consistent and reasoned, even though I usually disagree with her. Can't say that for Roberts, for instance. |

| #4 It's not their Alzheimer's I'm concerned about, it's their unquenchable greed. |

| #1 ...If they do, 1)they sure as hell won't admit it, 2)it's Trump's fault, and 3)if you think the Kavanaugh hearings brought out the worst in the Democratic Party, wait till you see them try to defend/cover/take advantage of a senior member who's losing it due to Alzheimer's. Mike |
