POLITICAL SATIRE
Why I Am Glad I Am Old
Just not as old as some politicians
Warning: Some might find the language of this editorial offensive your petite ears.
We put politicians in certain boxes. We have the religious — hey, Mike Pence! The self-righteous — Marjorie, we’re looking at you! The hypocrites — insert any name, here. And the stark-raving mad — leave your suggestions in the comments. And then there are the old-as-fuck politicians! Dianne, you go girl!
Note: not sorry for the profanity — it’s just a word people!
Confession. I’m younger than Dianne Feinstein! Ha. Ha! But there is something to say. The best part of old age . . . It doesn’t last long. Unless your want-to-be-despot-in-chief Donald J. Trump Who won’t go away.
I digress. I’m glad I am old
I can fake senility — or am I faking it? Is Joe Biden? Time may tell. Won’t have to deal with the future of the Republican Party. The anti-abortionists. The anti-democratic. The anti-LGBTQ hate. The idiots who go into stores and beat up on displays. What did that cardboard ever do to you?
What’s that saying? With old age comes wisdom. Old wise one, Chuck Grassley astonishingly had a moment of truth. For a politician, hey.
