There's a good idea

The Hotline has an article that says former Senator George McGovern is forming a bipartisan council of seniors to offer advice on issues facing the country.

Saying Americans should listen more to their elders, McGovern, 84, said his ``Council of Elders'' includes ex-senators and members of Congress, as well as professors, activists, ex-diplomats and former union officials.

Signing on are token Republicans, retiring Representative Henry Hyde and former Senator Alan Simpson. Fiberals will dominate. Including former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, former Interior Secretary Stewart Udall, Gloria Steinem, former United Autoworkers President Douglas Fraser, Children's Defense Fund President Marian Wright Edelman, Representative John Lewis (D-GA).

Also joining are two who I found interesting; former Iowa Senator John Culver (daddy to Chester, Dummycrat for Iowa Governor) and former Senator Thomas Eagleton.

Eagleton had been selected by McGovern as his running mate in 1972, but it became public that Eagleton had received electroshock therapy for depression.

McGovern stated, "I am 1,000 percent for Tom Eagleton and I have no intention of dropping him from the ticket."

Wwithin days of that announcement, Eagleton was replaced with Sargent Shriver (Kennedy in-law and daddy to Maria).

You don't suppose he'll dump Eagleton for Shriver again? Shriver has Alzheimer's and would fit right in with the thinking of these "Elders".
