A partial transcript of one of those 20-minute convos with Mitch has been released:
"Mitch? Mitch? Are you awake, Mitch? I sure wish you could say something, Mitch. Mitch, blink twice if you can hear me.....We sure miss you in the Senate, Mitch. If you don't recuperate fast and get back to us, we're going to lose a lot of votes, Mitch. Mitch, please wake up and talk to us, buddy---we need to be able to convince folks you're not dead yet Mitch, we got Elaine out of the country, so she can't pull the plug on you--so we're---er, YOU"RE safe for now. That should relieve some of your stress, right? Mitch, can you move your fingers? Mitch, if you can just tell us where the money is, I PROMISE you we'll keep it safe for you (lo-o-onnng pause........) So long, Mitch; keep fighting....."
