Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, who has been recovering from a heart procedure for months, told The Baltimore Sun on Monday he expects to return to Capitol Hill next week.
The Baltimore Democrat, the ranking member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, underwent what his office described as a “minimally invasive” heart procedure in May. Cummings said in July that an infection prolonged his recovery.
Sounding more like himself than he has in months, Cummings said he would have to make more time to take care of himself — no more 20-hour days, he said — but said he believes the experience will ultimately make him a better lawmaker.
Cummings will not return to Washington on Tuesday, when his colleagues arrive on Capitol Hill after the August recess to begin a punishing to-do list that includes approving government funding, raising the debt ceiling and voting for emergency spending for Hurricane Harvey recovery.
Instead, Cummings said, he expects to return Sept. 11. MORE
Had a heart put installed? Silly Tin Man. Maybe just had the battery changed.
Silly me, and I thought that the reason he was gone for so long was to perform a public service by holding up the Island of Guam so that it wouldn’t tip over!
Nothing will stop a member of the house or senate from stepping down. Not senility, cancer, heart disease or age. What is it about Americans that keep re-electing these old people? Stupidity!
What a waste of Oxygen.
Another maggot who has enriched himself on the backs of the poor.
izlamo delenda est …
Notice that he is a “baltimore democrat” which up our way means the same thing as a “philadelphia lawyer” – you always run the other way when you see them.
“ranking member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee”
In other words a fucking joke!
“ranking member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee”
So, that’s why the swamp’s been refilling! You can all rest assured that as soon as the pol from Baltimore, in the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, with the longest seniority of all the pols in the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, gets back to town, and takes care of “a punishing to-do list that includes approving government funding, raising the debt ceiling and voting for emergency spending for Hurricane Harvey recovery,” but with “no more 20-hour days,” that ending corruption, will start right back up. Rest assured. Just rest. You’re feeling sleepy. Very sleep

80 is the new 20! Because you can’t trust anyone over 30.
“Sounding more like himself than he has in months…”
Meaning, the asshole we all know him to be is becoming more and more louder by the day.
I didn’t miss the SOB, he can stay in Baltimore as far as I’m concerned. He has always been part of the problem, not part of the solution.
He got a post-op infection at Johns Hopkins Hospital, apparently that wasn’t a wake up call for improving quality of care. Moron.
Baltimore is not even a nice place to visit.
20 hour days??? Yeah, right. More like 20 minute days is what they’re really working…if you can actually call what they do work.
Yeah, take care of yourself and spend a lot less time being a useless jerkoff.
20-hour days? Sure you don’t mean 20-hour months, Cum?
he had heart surgery? And I here I thought he was just a heartless sonofabitch.
“… no more 20-hour days…”
If you believe that, there’s a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.
So what’s wifey’s platform going to be? Space to destroy Maryland?
There should be signs around
Cumming’s district stating
“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here”. His constituents have
been rotting in his ghetto kingdom
over his 30 year reign; and now
they are stupid enough to vote
for the wife?
What does a walking pile of shit need a heart for?
I’d like to get my hands on the SOB surgeon who saved that mutants life.
