The other rumor is that Newsome played hooky from the climate conference and instead went to an absurdly lavish wedding in Frisco, officiated by Nancy Pelosi. Pictures in Vanity Fair that folks claim show Newsom and his wife there, on the 6th. I have no horse in that race, so it is amusing to idly speculate here...

One wonders if the rumor about attending the wedding was deployed to cover for the other rumor being true. Does the CA governor ever employ a lookalike, the way presidents and some wannabe presidents have been known to? Or is he just down with the flu and the rumor mill is cranking like mad? Patience, and all will be revealed, I think.

I think the other possibility mentioned is Bell's Palsy, which apparently in some cases *can* be recovered from in a few weeks.

"some"

I know a lady who had Bell's Palsy and *mostly* recovered after... a year or so? Her face was all sideways like she'd had a stroke, initially. Like GB, it would be really hard to hide. But not impossible to recover from. I understand GB is more likely to leave you with difficulty walking.

One does wonder if they're trying to rapid-recovery the guy by sheer force of medication and therapy, or if they're convening the emergency council to figure out a new gameplan, while the public is still ignorant. I expect we'll find out soon enough.
