Oh boy, buckle up! It’s time for some real talk about our dear ol’ Senator Dianne Feinstein. The lady may be 90 years old, but she’s still clinging to her seat like a stubborn koala clinging to a eucalyptus tree. And let me tell ya, folks, she’s not doing so great up there in that big ol’ Senate chamber.

Just the other day, Feinstein tried to weigh in on the latest defense appropriations bill, but bless her heart, she couldn’t even get a word out before her fellow Democrat, Sen. Patty Murray, swooped in like a guardian angel of common sense. Murray had to whisper in Feinstein’s ear, “Just say ‘aye,’ Dianne!” Now, I don’t know about you, but when a senator has to be reminded what she’s voting for, it might be time to turn in that “I’m a legislator” badge.

And it’s not just this one little incident, my friends. Oh no, Feinstein has been on a roll lately. She’s been missing votes left and right, causing all sorts of delays in confirming President Biden’s judicial nominees. I mean, come on, Dianne, can’t you show up for work like the rest of us? But who am I kidding? She’s too busy mingling with her thoughts in La-La Land!
It’s no secret that Feinstein’s health has seen better days. She’s in a wheelchair, for crying out loud, and one side of her face is practically playing hide-and-seek with her eye. Now, I’m not saying we shouldn’t have respect for our elders, but there’s something called retirement, folks. It’s like a vacation you take when you’ve grown tired and maybe a tad senile.
In fact, a recent poll found that a whopping 63 percent of voters think Feinstein should quit the Senate, throw in the towel, and bid us all farewell. But nope, she’s determined to hold on tight to that seat, like it’s the last chocolate chip cookie in the jar.
Now, let’s not forget the other gem in our government, good ol’ Mitch McConnell. Just the other day, he had a little medical mishap, standing there like a statue before his aides swooped in to save him. It’s a reminder that these experienced politicians are getting up there in age, and yet, the Democratic Party wants us to believe that Joe Biden is as fit as a fiddle. Talk about double standards, my friends.
The truth is, we need fresh faces, new blood, and minds that haven’t been clouded by the fog of old age. It’s time to bid farewell to politicians who can’t even remember why they’re voting and start welcoming a new era of leaders who can actually keep up with the demands of the job. So, Dianne, with all due respect, it might be time to hang up that political hat and sip some chamomile tea instead. The Capitol could use a little rejuvenation, don’t ya think?
