Well, by definition...
senex, senis - old man.
A quorum of dottering dotards.

So that’s why the restaurants are less busy.
We’ve devolved into a geriocracy.
Roy Moore is 70. You’d think our voters would know that.
What is the oldest Senate??? Is it in Bum—— Egypt

I find it to be extremely selfish..... what is it about this profession that makes them hang on until near death?
POWER
why wouldn’t McCain resign and let Gov appoint an interim successor immediately? No one dares to ask the question.....
too many Republicans?
How old is Bernie?
“what is it about this profession that makes them hang on until near death?”
I read an article on why Senator Strom Thurmond stayed so long. The author had followed him around, apparently for days. People greeted him with, “’Good morning, Senator,’ and, ‘Can I help you, Senator,’ and, ‘What can I do for you, Senator.’” As long as he was a senator he was somebody. When he went somewhere everybody recognized him and was obsequious. He was important. But the moment he pulled the cord and quit he’d be a nobody. His ego demanded the constant attention, just so he’d know he was alive and important. I saw numerous pictures of him in the press with a string of drool hanging from lips to collar as he sat in the Senate Chambers. Pitiful.
Bernie is 76, and Leahy , senior most Dem Senator, has been there since ‘75 and is 77.
He said it was an interesting place. Strom Thurmond would show up to glad-hand people on his way back to his office from the gym, still clad in his workout clothes. (Must have had a shower in his office. Smart guy, giving the elected weirdos hanging out in locker room shower...)
Meanwhile, some aging, and physically decrepit senator had to be supported by two aides to make an appearance. Might have been Dirksen.
They want to live long enough to see the fruition of their 30 year bipartisan plan to turn the USA into North Mexico.
That final amnesty that will seal our fate has eluded them in 2006, 2007 and 2013.
They had no problem electing an old woman who can barely stand up.
Nominating. You mean nominating, not electing.
