As Congress returned to Washington, all anyone cared about was the GOP leader’s health.
But because the Capitol Hill press corps doesn’t have access to scans of McConnell’s brain, reporters had reverted to this: Milling around the hallway in front of the senator’s office, waiting for him to emerge, hoping to get even the smallest insight into the function — or perhaps the dysfunction — of one of the most powerful brains in the United States.
