Someone should have warned Seth Moulton that age and guile beats youth and innocence every time.
The adage comes from the title of satirist P.J. O’Rourke’s’ book “Age & Guile Beat Youth, Innocence & a Bad Haircut.”
Had Moulton been clued in, the 40-year-old congressman from Salem could have avoided the humiliation showered upon him by grandmother Nancy Pelosi, 78, the other day.
He is also, undortunately, a very far leftist.
How you can from Marine to lefty is beyond me
That is something I personally will NEVER understand. How can a member of the military, combat arms, and saddest, a Marine be a lefty? a progressive? a democrat? It’s anathema to the idea of service and completely counter to the oath. Never mind that huge swaths of government work in opposition to the oath they swore...
Saw them (mil-libs) while in service, just thought they were strange anomalies.....joined for the “bennies” types.
Just damn!

It happens more than you think. My dad was a WWII veteran, purple heart recipient, served in France during the war. He died a couple of years ago at age 96. He was a democrat and loved Obama. My sister is a leftist as well. I'm the only sane one in the family... a/k/a the black sheep.
It’s all how you look at the world.
I heard the saying as “Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and enthusiasm”.
Senator John Kennedy (my senator) from Louisiana was talking yesterday morning about the latest attempt at border funding, and said “I don’t know what Mrs. Pelosi will say.”
I kid you not. He evidently does not know that the Republicans still control the House, although I saw her two days ago laying down the law for the House.
Prissy Paul was not be be found.
Could be he knew exactly what ol Puss would say. Just being a bit of dry humor?
