Washington is run by very old people - CNNPolitics

Looking forward to being in office at 95.

Sen. Charles Grassley, the Iowa Republican, [is] 88. He jogs in a new video announcing he'll run for an eighth 6-year Senate term and posted to his Twitter feed. [...] He was elected to his second Senate term in 1986, the year before the youngest current senator, Democrat Jon Ossoff of Georgia, was born. [...] Grassley would be 95 in 2029 when the term ends.

    Yeah but at least they had the excuse that practically the entire generation that should have been passed the torch to was killed during WWII.
