What do senior Republican Senator Mitch McConnell and Iran’s new Supreme Leader have in common?

Not a lot, except that both men are currently being hidden from public view – and nobody seems to know for sure if either Mitch or Mojtaba Khamenei is alive or dead.

Iran is a brutal theocratic regime where the truth tends to be suppressed. America is meant to be a free and democratic society. Yet the 84-year-old Senator for Kentucky has been in hospital since June 14 and rumors are spreading that he is brain-dead, on life-support, or possibly worse, and the party leadership appears to be covering up the facts about his health. 

David Miliband would be a disastrous foreign secretary

Should Green Boots’ body remain on Everest?

We can expect this to continue at least until August 3 – because, under Kentucky law, if McConnell can make it to that date without being declared unfit for office, his senatorial seat will not be contested........
