Most of our Congress is filled with old people who, if we’re being honest, will likely not be able to tell you where or who they are after about 7 p.m. This should concern us, and yet, we’re all too busy debating whether the Wicked movie was too “woke.” It wasn’t — it just sucked!

Somehow, most people have been able to push “our government is filled with pudding brains” into the back of their minds. However, occasionally, it becomes too obvious to ignore, which just happened again.

In the middle of a quip he’s said countless times before, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) fizzled out on live TV. He stopped mid-sentence, his mouth drooped and his eyes fell to the side, his body falling limp like a ventriloquist dummy being retired to its box at the end of a show.

Not worrying at all that this guy has at least three more years in the Senate!

FOX host Larry Kudlow tried to cover by saying there were “technical problems.” He’s not wrong, but the problem isn’t the mic.

Well this is jarring. John Kennedy (R-LA) is midway through a quip he's delivered a thousand times ("Jesus loves him but everyone else thinks he's an idiot") and completely freezes up mid-sentence. pic.twitter.com/74t3yRbUsh
