1. Inside the beltway rumors are that he is seriously ill.

And it is being covered up.

Aging senators are being protected.

2. Yes, he returned yesterday.

He didn't look good, worse than usual.

5. He didn't look much different than he has in the past, imo.

I'll let folks make their own decision. You can see him at the 32 minute mark of yesterday's session. For an 81 year old who had suffered a head injury and a broken rib six weeks ago, he seemed to have recovered pretty fully.

3. Remember he is a polio survivor

That alone would make him more susceptible to falling. The recent videos of him walking don't look all that different from earlier ones.

4. Yes. He was on the floor of the Senate in the role of Minority Leader yesterday

He looked relatively healthy, notwithstanding the various predictions made by DU's self-appointed diagnosticians that he had suffered a major stroke, was in a coma, had died, etc.
