@TheRickWilson is ill.

He's been criss crossing around the country doing Lincoln Project work. I wish him a speedy recovery.

No one gets under TSF's skin like Rick. Godspeed Mr. Wilson.

He and Tara Setmayer are a great team, and I missed seeing him on the post-SOTU show. Godspeed, Rick!!

He's in his 60s now, so it could be a lot of things.

Whatever it is, I hope he is back to fighting form soon. He's the kind of guy who's a nightmare if he's against you, but if he's with you, you couldn't ask for anyone better to have on your team. He's a real fighter, with a genius for words.
