Chances are overwhelming the Big Guy is lying.
There are two dead giveaways.
First, he's a DUmp democrat. They lie about everything, all the time.
Second, if he were really sick, he would be suing the City of Omaha for causing it.
For years they paid him to ride a little catbird seat back and forth over an enormous vat of steaming, incoming raw sewage, fishing out used condoms so the equipment wouldn't get clogged.
Then, after decades of huffing sewer fumes caused health problems, they set him to work scrubbing drunk puke from police cruisers.
If he had a real affliction, whether myopia, tooth decay, or toenail fungus, he would have a union lawyer soaking the taxpayers of Omaha.
Anyway, he's determined to use this storyline as a DOTY campaign angle.
It's hard to see how he can maintain momentum through the long months between now and wintertime voting, but the same doubts were applied to nutcase nadin back in 2011.
Of course, nadin is an industrious, inventive lunatic while the Big Guy is a lazy, slothful doofus, but we shall see. Maybe he'll choose to emulate Deadstone or TLB.
