I agree, aging is fucked up. My objection, not just about McConnell himself but elderly people in politics in general, is there's this cool thing called retirement. It's the perfect way to enjoy your older years. Perhaps he could have tried that before now.

I think that the issue is two fold here. He won't retire, and people keep voting for him.

Sure, people in KY like having a powerful member of the Senate be from their state and evidently he likes being a powerful member of the Senate.
