WASHINGTON (AP) — A Senate stenographer has collapsed on the chamber’s floor.
The Senate went into a brief recess as medical personnel attended to the woman, who collapsed as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was speaking. Media and visitors were quickly cleared from the galleries.
The woman was conscious as personnel attended to her.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer opened the proceedings shortly after, thanking the medical attendants and wishing the woman a speedy recovery. He did not give details about what happened.

Perfectly understandable. The bullshit finally became too much to bear and the poor woman collapsed. I feel that way whenever I hear most of them talk myself.
It’s time to consider giving Congressional stenographers hazard pay.
First, I wish her well.
McTurtle was speaking. Should explain a lot.
As soon as I can sell the concept.
I guess “mirabile dictu” doesn’t apply in this case…
