Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) seemed to think the health of the 81-year-old minority leader of the U.S. Senate was not an issue worth discussing during a sit-down interview with CBS.

lol. I hate McConnell, and I think discussing his health is important and it was a good line of questioning, but that's the least news worthy "getting testy" I've ever seen in my life. It's like the standard politician line when people are focusing on them, rather than the issues.
