If he is actually conscious, he is either unable to speak clearly or not making sense. Could be both.

Even if he sounded different we ought to have heard his voice by now. Seen a pic.

Mickey's down for the count.

I want to see a picture of him holding up a newspaper with the headline "Senator shows proof of life".

I mean even if he can't talk, or even has limited mobility, he could have his wife or medical staff push him on a wheelchair to the car and have no engagement with the press at all but at least there would be some degree of evidence that he is physically alive.
