Giuliani shows possible signs of nerve damage or Alzheimer (Washington Post editorial)

Last edited Thu Aug 25, 2016, 09:22 AM - Edit history (1)

the Washington Post editorial reveals that the former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani has been showing symptoms of deteriorating physical or mental health:

Also — we’re noting this purely out of concern — during his speech he often licked his lips, indicating dry mouth, which, according to the Mayo Clinic, can be a symptom of nerve damage, stroke or Alzheimer’s disease. At the end of his address, beads of sweat were visible on his pate — did that not suggest heart disease?

Mr. Giuliani is just 72, but he seemed slightly stooped as he walked to the lectern, where his wide stance made us wonder if he’s unsteady on his feet. Then there was his slurred diction, as when he referred to “jushtified” police shootings and Syrian “refyoongees.” More evidence of a stroke?

If Mr. 911 forgets 911, then he clearly has dementia of some sort.

Maybe he is suffering from Larry Craig Syndrome.

But OP highlights what we're up against this election (and those to come after), a determined voter block that believes distortions and untruths, their alternate reality.

Call it dementia, nerve damage, or Alzheimer's, but the result is still the same, a voter that believes angrily that they are right and everyone else is wrong.
