An 86 year old Senator using Lady Gaga for a fundraiser! What's going on here?

Now if Rob (Merrylander) pipes up and says he's also a Lady Gaga fan and she has made him lose interest in classical music, I think I'll just flip out.

Even a hip Lady Gaga fan? 86 is the new forty.

I like Lautenberg but I just don't get this.

his voting record has been fine but he bought himself a senate seat and at 86 has no clue what life is like for our children

it's just not the way the system "should" work
