Step By Step

Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) has released a new video showing him rehabbing from his January stroke. The reports about his condition from his staff and doctors over the last few months always struck me as factual and accurate but as somewhat cool and unemotional. You were left to read between the lines just how debilitating the stroke really was. This new video makes it quite clear: very debilitating. As Kirk himself says, it was a “big stroke.”
