Louisiana Senator John Kennedy appeared to have a mental episode live on Larry Kudlow’s Fox Business show Tuesday, adding yet another entry to the long, bipartisan list of alarming age-related lowlights from our country’s leaders.
“I’m sure Jesus loves him, but everybody else thinks—everybody else …” said Kennedy, 73, before trailing off. You can see it in his face—his eyes and mouth particularly—as he struggles to remember what he meant to say or where he is before ultimately giving up

Kennedy is one of the best senators. He is normally so mentally quick. I’m going to pray that it is a TIA and goes away completely.
Whew. That was bad. I don’t think Kennedy will stick around just for the sake of sticking around though. He seems like the type of guy who knows when it’s time to bow out gracefully. Hopefully his timing will be just right and he doesn’t leave us in a lurch. Good luck to you, sir.
Sometimes forgetting the punch line makes you look foolish, pretty sure that’s what this is about.
It’s not so much if this occurred but how often it occurs.
I’m a little older than Kennedy but I have my share of “senior” moments although a freeze up like this is not one of those.
It just makes me think how amazing Trump is.
He is always ready to let it go full blast without any slip ups or freeze ups.
Nothing new seeen people in their 20’s and 30’s do it and not even being stoned.
Distractions can do it to anyone
Yes age changes people
Nobody gets out alive
Meh. I thought he was pausing until the machine noise in the background stopped. It never stopped and they cut away.
LOL. This s so predictable. While Biden was in office, an elderly politician could s___t in their pants and drool and the MSM would ignore it to avoid questions about Biden’s senility. Now that Biden is out of office, the MSM has a newfound interest in the mental state of any Republican officeholder who is above age 60.
Sounds like he lost his train of thought. That can happen. Let’s hope it was a one-off thing.
Maybe he is being slowly poisoned.
LOL! Good point. Biden is the standard the MSM established.
A scary thought, but possible given how evil the left (both Dem politicians and the propaganda media) is.
Kennedy is highly intelligent and one of the best people in congress to listen to. Hope nothing is actually wrong with him. Anyone can forget what they are saying halfway through a sentence.
Not sure how the writers at TNR figure it’s disassociative
I guess they moonlight as neurologists or psychiatrists ?
Could be anything
None good
I’m 68 almost
I’ve never done that and I’ve got several morbidity thingies
Kept alive like the Borg I am

Probably stupid question
What does “meh” mean
I’m breaking my own rule not looking it up
Guilty as charged
And he typically has some real good amusing creative responses. I can see him not immediately remembering his thoughts on delivering the punch line. Very common.
LOL
we post CRAP from the Commie New Republic now.
The most radical Marxist Newsletter in the US .
Are we allowed to publish such
utter piles of leftists lies here ?
Believe not a vowel from this DNC site.
I’m a lot older than Kennedy and I have my share of “senior” moments like this...
Particularly when discussing things like the U(1) gauge symmetry. /s
It’s clearly a technical problem, as they said on air. The headline is a lie and should be taken down.
