When nine hundred years you reach, look as good you will not. Hmmm?
Harper’s had factoid in it that state the reason most South Carolinians voted for him was that they were afraid he’d die if they didn’t! Still, only the good die young. Here’s hoping I live to be 130!
I think he has been residing at Walter Reed Army Medical Center since 1998 or 1999 (I’m too lazy to look up a cite right now but I believe that is correct).
Did you see the clip from his birthday party they played on “The Daily Show”?
A Marilyn Monroe imitator (horrible, btw) sings “Happy Birthday, Dear President Pro Tempore” to him, and at the end, he slowly reaches out a parchment-pale clawlike hand and clamps onto her forearm. At that point, I said to the TV, “Hnnnngggghhh, braaains,” and cracked myself up for hours.
Still, you have to admire his ability to sneak out of his pyramid without being noticed.
Why do we regular citizens have a tough time staying employed by the time we reach 50-55 while this geezer keeps getting re-elected? He can’t have been doing anything effective for the last decade or so!
If you squint real hard so your vision blurs, and pretend he’s purple, he looks like one of the California Rasins.
He ain’t gotta do nothin to please YOU, ya librel. Him’s a republican. Juss keep the blacks down and the rebel flag up. That there’s all.
(Isn’t it fun to watch conservatives squirm when the light of truth is shown upon them? Thank you Senator Lott. Thank ya very much.)
My guess is that this is exactly why he continues to get re-elected.
Survey says: DING DING DING! We have a winner. He has lots (and LOTS) of aides that “keep him informed” on what’s going on.
Ten bucks says those aides also say “you should vote for/against this…” And for the record, I’ve lived here all my life (and voted in every election possible) and never voted for Strom.
Strom will only die when he has gay sex.
Whom the gods love
Dies young; yet he lives—breathes—is conscious.
If any god loved this man, he should have died
More than ten, no, more than twenty years ago. He burdens the ground as he walks, already senseless
And witless, worth about as much as a stinking mushroom.

Nuh-uh. That is one grenade I’m not throwing myself on.
Just out of curiousity, what exactly did you expect a one-hundred-year-old man to look like? David Gallagher?
Actually, what he looks like is David Bowie at the end of a trashy 1980 vampire movie called The Hunger.
Really.
So maybe there are just a lot of David Bowie fans in South Carolina.
It actually looks like poor Strom died about 5 or 6 years ago and his corpse still sits in the senate helping run our country. Just think the taxpayers are even this day paying him to help legislate our nation.
I’ll bet if he were a schoolbus driver they would have forced his retirement a long time ago. But then again, schoolbus drivers provide a more important and necessary function than politicians.
Can’t argue with that.
Proof that if you are evil enough you’ll never die. The Grim Reaper is afraid of old Strom.
Gollum’s Grandfather? Hell, he makes Emperor Palpatine look young and spry.
(One good nerd-reference deserves another… :D)
