Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Mondale was beloved by all at the Minneapolis firm where he settled down, including the Republicans there (all 2 of them, ha ha).

Both Mondale and Tom Brokaw are getting their treatment at the Mayo Clinic which is not not included in many Obamacare plans.

woulda thought he’d only qualify for the blue pill solution, now.
