Fox News Sunday had the three Congressional leaders destined to rule us. What struck me was their ages--Barney Frank (66), Charles Rangel (76) and John Dingell (80). As I recall Both Nancy Pelosi and Dennis Hoyer are about 66 or 67.
Dingell really looks like he needs a long rest. The other two seem fairly alert but Rangel keeps coming up with off the wall statements with seemingly no real emotional commitment to them.
This is going to be a tough two years unless nature intervenes and relieves us of one or more of these three.
I think Robert Byrd, who will be Chairman of the Appropriations Committee in the Senate is in his 90's...yikes.
Oh....and he was just reelected for 6 more years in Nov.
The expression down here is "The Lord done called 'em Home." Perhaps the Lord is calling even now....
Dingell is the most dangerous, he`s just as looney as the rest (except on guns) but he knows how to twist aems ans get things done.
