If Lugar is in his dotage the reason he hangs on is he is controlled completely by his handlers who have a big vested interest in him staying in his seat in the Senate even if he is embalmed.There have been a number of such cases especially in the Senate and its not a new thing. The most famous has to be Carl Hayden of Arizona who was completely senile and demented for the last 20 or so years he was in office. Everyone knew it and no one would say anything. Open secret, typical of Capitol Hill culture.

It’s very sad.
As I said @ post 51, Dick Lugar did some great things for Indianapolis.
