I will recklessly speculate the Scorsese length cabinet celebration of life was consistent with a bunch of people knowing the object of their obsequiousness is about to have a big scary surgery.

I think he’s gone in for a scary surgery and this weekend was the most opportune time. Now, if that scary surgery goes badly, well…so be it. The GQP are bad at acting - they could never keep his death under their hats.

At the time I took the phrase "my chances aren't good" as him saying his chances of getting into heaven weren't good. Same with "b/c I'm low on the totem pole". Now I wonder if he meant b/c he's ill; like his chances of living long aren't good & he's low on the totem pole b/c his health is bad.

With his overall poor health and the awkward admission about venous insufficiency in legs, my wild speculation is that he threw a clot and developed pulmonary embolism, or had a big stroke or a series of small strokes. Even with medication, legs like that are blood clot time bombs in the elderly.

A lot of people have speculated that he has congestive heart failure, but his symptoms that they site would also be consistent with renal failure.

Given the look of his legs my guess is DVT leading to PE, CVA, or TIA. He was almost certainly on blood thinners but likely refused TED hose or any kind of SQD. That’s my wildly speculative opinion. But he’s a cornucopia of co-morbidities. Nothing would shock me.
