Please Don't Die! I Need You To Govern

Ran across this interesting Bloomberg piece pointing out that Italy's Romano Prodi needs the help of some way-old "Senators-For-Life" to create a government after winning the elections by the slimmest of margins. The average age of these teeny boppers is 85 years old according to my quick calculation, with the oldest nearing the century mark at 97. Lord, wouldn't the AARP love to be in this position? Grandpa and grandma would get whatever they want....

And the Pope might get some extra funds just to pray that these folks stick around long enough to govern, if most of them remember which team they're on. Next to them, Prodi is a spring chicken at 66...
