| 'Fetterman Might Have Permanent Brain Damage, Chief of Staff Admits |
| 2023-02-11 |
| [RedState] On Friday, Sen. John Fetterman’s (D-Pa.) chief of staff stated that campaigning last year may have caused the senator permanent brain damage. While many in conservative media raised concerns about Fetterman’s health and whether he was truly fit to serve in the U.S. Senate, the aide’s admission directly contradicts the note written by Fetterman’s doctor, a Democrat donor, who insisted that Fetterman was fit to serve. "Overall, Lt. Governor Fetterman is well and shows strong commitment to maintaining good fitness and health practices. He has no work restrictions and can work full duty in public office," Dr. Clifford Chen wrote last year. Prior to his hospitalization, Fetterman had been struggling to adjust to his responsibilities on Capitol Hill, reports the New York Times. According to the report, Fetterman is frustrated that he may have "set himself back permanently" by campaigning instead of resting after his stroke last May. "[Fetterman] has had to come to terms with the fact that he may have set himself back permanently by not taking the recommended amount of rest during the campaign. And he continues to push himself in ways that people close to him worry are detrimental," the report explained. |

| #13 I take it if you remove Pittsburgh, Filthydelphia, and maybe Erie and University Park, I'd bet it's a predominately red state. |

| #12 Well, Casey is brainless and Arlen Specter had parts of his cut out more than once. |

| #10 Not saying Oz was a super-duper choice, but that aside, that Fetterman even got close to being in the running for US Senator is a joke of the highest order. Evidently Joe leads by example. |

| #9 I think she ticked off the governor by making her expectation of being appointed obvious. Likely, the eventual appointee was identified at the time of the stroke. All the transactions occurred then. She has no personal power or connections that I know of. She will not be put into the position, she will be mad, and she will act out. The governor understands that her personality will insure a backlash against her so there is little downside to bum rushing her into the dumpster of history. There was even a backlash against Nancy Kerrigan and she is a nice person. |

| #8 ...Time for me to propose yet again the 28th Amendment: Article I: In the event of a Congressional or Senatorial vacancy, no person related to the former member by marriage or as a parent, son, daughter, brother, or sister shall be named to the vacancy. Article II: All persons named to a Senate or Congressional vacancy shall stand to election at the next election whether or not the term for the vacated seat has expired. TRANSLATION: 1. No more wives or any other relations getting the job just because of their last name. They want the job, then run for the damned thing. 2. Whoever does get the job has to run for it in the next election, even if the term isn't up. For example, let's say Joe Pennsylvania gets appointed to Senator Fetterman's seat this summer. That means if he wants to keep the job, he gets to run in '24, not hang around and coast until the '26 elections. Mike |

| #3 Given the Pa. Governor abilities to appoint the replacement. I have to wonder what the political price to the citizens will be, and will he wheel and deal his selection for WH appointment in 2024? ... if the LSD's can work their voter magic again. |
