Bet you won't see this on CNN - Yesterday 10/25: youtube.com
How uncomfortable is this for his poor wife sitting next to him. You can see she begins to open her mouth (twice) to correct him, but holds back. That wouldn't look good - dedicated wife caring for elderly senile husband. She's probably been trained not to jump in that way because it would be worse than the gaff itself.


As a nurse and someone who’s cared for 2 elderly parents and 2 elderly parent in-laws, I know what dementia looks like. Senility isn’t an “always out of it” kind of thing; they are quite lucid at times but often flat out batty as well. Joe is senile/demented.
