“Grassley is an asshat”
Yes, that’s unfortunately true. And he’s a very old asshat. He’s the oldest RINO in the Senate (been there for 37 years) and he’s only three months “younger” than the “Deanette” of the Senate Dianne Fineswine. Both are 84. Fineswine is up for re-election and she may loose. Grassassley is unfortunately likely to be with us until 2022, unless God has other plans. #3 Urine Hatch (who is working on his 42nd year in the Senate) is going, and in his place we get Mittens. In at #4 is Richard Shelby (who has been there for 31 years and will be with us until 2022). Rounding out the octogenarians ( all Pubbies) we have Inhofe, Roberts and McCain.
The first RAT is Leahy who is a “youngster” at 78.
It is a disgrace to be laid directly at the feet of the voters, that we have seven Senators, all over 80 with a total “years of service” of 209 years or 23% of the total years of service for all 100 Senators. If you go 13 deep (down to 75), you get 325 years of service and 36% of the total. In there you have McConnell with 32 years, and Lamar Alexander with 44 years. And you wonder why the Senate never accomplishes anything?
I erred in my post. Lamar Alexander has been in the Senate for 14 years, Leaky Leahy for 44. I misread my spread sheet.

Senate from the latin Senex meaning ‘old man’
vetus porcos would be more appropriate—’old swine’.
And they all retire rich and still collect their bloated pensions. Politicians stink.
