Giorgio Napolitano is another large hit

Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) charged with six years in prison. If sentenced, the obese 69 year-old might be an alright pick by the end of the decade.

Here's the key takeaway from the article:

Dartmouth quarterback and coach Buddy Teevens dead at 66.

Pauline Newman suspended for a year after refusing to undergo medical testing

Dead according to one source. Just released, so we'll find out if it's true in a few minutes. To make up for this awful premature death post, here's a picture of him with Henry Kissinger and Hans-Dietrich Genscher.

8 7 months in hospice!

Bereton C. Jones (wiki), former Governor of Kentucky, supposedly dead at 84.

With all due respect, why did you bring back a thread from 18 years ago?

Chuck Grassley is now the sixth ever nonagenarian to sit in the US Senate. The first five were: Theodore F. Green (D-RI. Retired in 1961 at 93) Carl Hayden (D-AZ. Retired in 1969 at 91) Strom Thurmond (R-SC. Retired in 2003 at 100) Robert F. Byrd (D-WV. Died in 2010 at 92) Dianne Feinstein (D-CA. Died in 2023 at 90)

He was, at least, alive at the end of 2022. From what I can tell, that's the last time anyone has seen or heard from him.

For a man turning 90 this Sunday, Chuck Grassley is in outstanding condition! Romney himself said that he would have went for re-election if he would be as sharp as Grassley.

Not seeking re-election Edit: wow, I was beaten by 5 seconds.

He was on the Senate Floor about 20 minutes ago. He seems frail, but these kinds of guys tend to hang on for years.

Bob Bennett, who was Bill Clinton's lawyer during the White House sex scandal, dead at 84.

We're doing quite well on the American side of things. Dick Van Dyke, Carol Burnett, Bill Cosby and Bob Newhart are all still alive.

Nezzar reportedly on his deathbed

Ali Bongo released from house arrest due to his health.

Bruce Springsteen cancels even more tour dates while being treated for peptic ulcer disease.

Without spoiling too much of my own Shadow List: Take out Buzz Aldrin, Warren Buffett, and Sophia Loren. Add Willie Mays, William Russell, and June Lockhart. It's too early to tell if McConnell or Akihito should be on the list. Doc Severinsen and Nikolai Ryzhkov are much safer picks. Ted Turner and Bruce Willis have serious potential

Is the "Sad Last Days" thread worth being brought back?

Radar Online is not a reliable source.

Prince Hitachi of Japan hospitalized with COVID-19 (non-English source).

Updated for Bill Richardson

Kissinger's been unusually quiet since his China visit.
