Like a Cold You Just Can't Shake: Mitch McConnell Returns to Capitol Hill
By Robert Spencer 4:05 PM on April 18, 2023
Well, we dared to hope. When Mitch McConnell fell at a hotel in Washington in early March and couldn’t get up, we thought we might have a chance for new Republican leadership in the Senate and for some real opposition to the Left’s increasingly insane agenda, rather than the dreary establishment Me-Tooism that McConnell represents. When Mitch was out of action for weeks, Matt Margolis noted that “there are whispers that he might not be fit to return to the Senate and is preparing for retirement.” It was enough to make a patriot positively giddy with excitement at the prospect, but alas, now Mitch has dashed everyone’s hopes by returning to work.
Mitch McConnell is 81 years old. He is nine months older to the day than Old Joe Biden, who gives us indications of his diminished cognitive abilities on a daily basis. On the day Mitch was born, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which was the legal basis for the internment of over 120,000 Japanese-Americans in the United States during World War II. That same day, the Japanese defeated Allied forces in the Battle of Badung Strait, off Bali.
On the home front, major league baseball got permission from President Roosevelt to keep going as a morale booster during the war. The Brooklyn Dodgers’ spring training camp was in Havana; eighty years later, no baseball teams train in Communist Cuba, and the Dodgers haven’t played in Brooklyn since Mitch McConnell was a junior in high school. In sum, Mitch McConnell was born into a vastly different world from the one we inhabit. And it’s long past time for him to step aside and allow those who grew up in a world that was a bit more like our own, for better or worse, to revitalize the political opposition that McConnell, as its putative leader, has done so much to hamstring.
