..His breathing seemed labored, and he just did not look well.

I read in the comments on mediate.com that he is in a wheelchair...this I did not know, but that does explain why he was already seated when Jon introduced him.

edited to change - Mr. Krauthammer to Dr. Krauthammer

During Krauthammer's first year of medical school, he was paralyzed in a diving accident

As far as his breathing - he's had trouble breathing ever since I first seen him on TV several years ago.
Mostly likely due to being in a wheelchair for so many years.
