Only news link is barred in Europe so far and I have come out of Xmusk for links. Dang this phone nonsense. Jean served out Mels term when he died in a plane crash a week before an election. Despite dying he still got re-elected against Bush buddy John Ashcroft. Bush made him Ashcroft Attorney General after this which led to genuinely one of the funniest lines Michael Moore ever came up with.

Ulitzer95 12,622 Posted January 31 The deaths of Dianne Feinstein (1933–2023) and Jean Carnahan (1933–2024) mean that Nancy Kassebaum (wiki, born 1932) is once again the only former female Senator aged 90+ No former female Senators are due to turn 90 now until July 1936 when Barbara Mikulski and Elizabeth Dole will reach that milestone. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The parasite was a committed EUphile who made a fortune (like many MEPs) from the huge "per diem" expenses. Most MEPs sign in late on Monday evening, sign out early on Friday morning, and collect 5 days expenses (well into four figures) to top up their huge salaries. Then there are the endless free lunches, dinners, boozy receptions, limos and call girls funded by lobbyists, especially Big Pharma such as Pfucking Pfizer. But they love us all really!
