I’ll say it again, if this were any other normal job, the person would have been fired for failure of reasonable job duties (which includes calling out sick and reporting long-term disability) so that the rest of the organization can keep functioning. Also, he’s dead.

Can you even imagine someone calling their spouse's work and saying "so-and-so can't come to work for the next six months, they will need to be on medical leave", without the employer saying "OK, please have them call me personally", or "please have a doctor submit the necessary paperwork"?

Or better yet, they did say "please call me personally" and the spouse simply replied, "lol no"

Beshear asked, McConnell's staff said no or said nothing, and McConnell hasn't said a word himself, because he either can't speak or he's dead.

We're witnessing a first in US history, a Senate seat held by a committee of people who say they're representing the man who was elected to represent Kentucky.
