Barack Obama is very young, but he will be working with a Congress full of codgers who say, “Ennnh?” and urge him to speak louder into their ear trumpets. The average age of a senator is 63, while the average House member is 57. That, in layman’s terms, is “super old.” It should be noted that Robert Byrd continues to exert a heavy drag on the average age of Senators. (Byrd recently celebrated his 113th birthday.) [USA Today]

Another reason Jesse Jackson Jr. was denied the seat and 71-year old RoBur and his giant taint get to settle in. F the man!
…dare I ask what the average age of the Supreme Court Justices are?! I’m guessing somewhere between Jurassic and Triassic.
Robert Byrd was around when we created the Senate; he can even recall when Strom Thurmond was just middle aged.
The average skin color of a Senator is white.
Y’know, Obama is the first President who is younger than me.
So this news actually makes me feel kinda OK with myself.
Statistically speaking, Byrd is an outlier whose age should have probably been ignored in their super complex calculations. He should probably be ignored politically speaking too.
Viagra has done wonders for our nations leadership. Thank Jeebus.
There are some indications the nation’s founders wanted the lawmakers to be on the mature side. The Constitution requires House members to be at least 25 and senators to be at least 30.
If only humans could eat dumbass throwaway sentences, USA Today could feed us all through this recession. And hey, the founding fathers also left a few clues as to how many branches of government there should be.
And thanks to Viagra the pages still need to be wary of the senile weenie waggers. Remember kids, GOP stands for Gay Old Perverts!

Damn it Shorts. You beat me to the obligatory Old Fart Viagra joke.
Depends has pretty much a captive market on Capital Hill
When they adjourn, all 538 of them should march to the Capitol steps, face the Mall and yell, “Get off my lawn.”
[re=209620]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: I just did the math, and it’s 69.55 (or 70 if you round up) for the Supreme Court justices. There’s an outside chance that Obama could have to appoint upto 5 liberal gay abortionist judges if he serves for 8 years.
[re=209643]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: It was so easy. IT MUST BE DONE. Besides, old men are wiser in Congress. They’ve been able to not get caught with the loads of dirty laundry most of them carry around behind a sleazy charm. COMMEND them for this.
[re=209615]BigDupa[/re]: Yeah, sure, “giant taint” sounds funny, but you won’t be laughing so hard when you have an enlarged prostate, you whippernsapper.
This sure does explain why Congress adjourns at 4. They have to move fast if they want to be the local senior center to Dennys for the blue plate special.
Of course it’s a bunch of old white guys. Do you realize how many people you have to blow from district to county to region to state? That’s a lot of dong and it takes many years of sucking before you are judged “not as objectionable as the guy who used his teeth” and allowed to run for higher office.

I thought the correct spelling was “HENNNNGH?”
Was that “average age” calculated before or after Barry left the senate? I calculate the average age will go up by about 0.2 with his departure
The older you are, the more tainty you become.
