Its a touchy situation.On one hand the guys practically pissing his pants he's so old but on the other the people of his state benefit from the leverage he brings by being around so long and chairman of committees which you couldnt get from a freshman senator.

If these two men can't in good health attend a special government function, how are we supposed to believe they can do their job day in and day out?

name a couple
I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.
