The good news is, she’s a wealthy, politically-connected woman. All three matter: when you’re wealthy, you have more options; when you’re politically-connected, you don’t wait in line; and women are way better at longevity than men are.
And not just because men are dopey, drink more, and think it’s wicked cool to play with fireworks. (Or play with fireworks while drunk.) There’s a genetic component, too.
There’s a reason why 85% of centenarians (and 90% of supercentenarians) are women. And this reason isn’t purely behavioral.
When it comes to longevity, genetics are king. (Or, more commonly: queen.)
Still, the short-term and long-term outlook for Nancy Pelosi’s political career is dismal. It’s a sad, brutal — and painful — end for one of the most influential legislators in American history. The purpose of this column isn’t to gloat (only a cretin delights in the physical suffering of others), but to be truthful and candid about what happens next.
Statistically, when a woman in her mid-80s breaks her hip, the consequences are cataclysmic. Up to 33% of older adults with hip fractures die within a year. 50% are unable to bathe, feed, wipe their butts, or dress themselves.
About one in five end up in a long-term care facility.

I prefer her dying, it takes care of the immediate problem.
She’s a career US politician, so they’ll wheel her out as long as she’s breathing.
OR they will Bader-Ginsburg her and keep her ‘alive’ and voting when she is long gone.
I heard someone threw water on her!
She openly mocked God by taking communion against the wishes of the Catholic church and then said it’s the churches problem not hers.....days later she does a header down a flight of marble stairs and breaks her hip........personally, I don’t believe in coincidences.
Or is she going to phone in her votes on bills?
Hello waiting
She’s probably too ornery to die from this. She probably has a cauldron to make an effective potion, too... (double, double, toil and trouble...)
Ouch. Broken hip must hurt. They will give her lots of opiates. They go down well with a pitcher of martinis.
“She seems fit, thin, and very active.”
I doubt, though, that she had any time for meaningful exercise when her days were fully booked with efforts to destroy America. She probably did the half-assed 20 minutes on a treadmill that many women call exercise, but that’s not enough. And her lifestyle probably included a lot of bad eating.
We are so far from the real story here I imagine
That’s true.
It does.
I am sure a state funeral with her body lying in the Crapital Rotunda is already being planned. Vacant DC office buildings are ready to be renamed in her “honor”.
Its a way to take from Trump’s inauguration.
Hells waiting
Well, in this case, she brought this on herself.
The final days of the D’Alesandro crime family?
