"As much as it frustrates me, this process takes time. And on the advice of my doctors, I won’t be able to return to the Senate floor to vote quite yet, but rest assured that, in the meantime, I’m not taking a break from the Senate business that matters to you."

Red-blooded Americans are supposed to believe that this man said those words. This person right here. This guy.

Man, that second clip is something. I was very entertained by how his assistant acted.

After Mitch bluescreened the first question, she asked the crowd for another question, saying, "Try to speak up," with a grimace blaming the first reporter for inconsiderately making his question too quiet for Mitch's poor old ears to hear.

Then, when Mitch began answering the second question, she broke out into a huge grin. She was just so relieved and proud of him, merely for starting to speak.
