Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), who has served since 1975 and is in the line of presidential succession, is asking colleagues to support his potential campaign for a ninth term, according to Democratic senators who have spoken to him. The 81-year-old has also indicated to them that he believes he’s “the only Democrat that can win the seat,” said a person briefed on the conversations. Given that Bernie Sanders is an independent who caucuses with Democrats, Leahy’s the only Democrat ever elected to the Senate from Vermont. If reelected, Leahy could take the record for Senate longevity in a chamber famous

Leahy, best known as "Leaky", has ossified and dwilted to a pile of decayed teeth. Only malice has kept him going.

The Senate has become the fanciest nursing home in the land. It is embarrassing what it has become and the fact so few seem to think its a problem is the scariest of all.

Leaky Leahy responded, "I know I'm old and senile, can hardly speak but the money's great and I get to stand in many photo ops. I've accomplished nothing but my face has been everywhere since 1975".
The guy is worse than Joe Biden old and stupid.

Sorry for the double but as soon as i submitted the last one I had a blinding mental video of Tim Conway's doddering old man character. Particularly the Slow Mo fall down the stairs.

Maybe the US Congress should institute an age limit of 80. If that is good enough for Popes it should be good enough for politicians.

I spent the first 31 years of my life in Chicago, actually not far from Schiller Woods, when it was great city. Back in those days had this POS been let out of the slam, he probably would have succumbed to an accident shortly after his release.

Why cut off his bank account feeder after all these years? They’ll have to take the Senate out of his cold, dead hands.

When your Senators are Leahy and Sanders, what else needs to be said? Both are poster boys for term limits. What is Vermont thinking? Vermont used to be a Republican state.

A senator serves 6 years per term, and Leaky is going for his ninth, how ancient is he? And what does he know of the people he is supposed to represent apart from the fact they must be equally dim to carry on voting for him. Looks like a great opportunity for a right minded experienced man of the world to sweep in and take Vermont by storm.

Because people always vote for the same old incumbent no matter how incompetent or corrupt they are. People are stupid, lazy and complacent. I am starting to wonder if there are any true Americans left in this world. Nobody does anything except the leftist lemmings who have made lucrative careers out of activism and woke subjects like "social justice". The rest of the populace wander through life like spoiled zombies who are more concerned about what to watch on TV or what'a for dinner than doing what's necessary to set our country back on the right track. Ugh...

Imagine if Leahy, Mad Max, Nasty Nancy and those over 80 drop around the same time.
One of the best remarks on L.com was whoever said "Nancy has been embalmed and doesn't know it"
