Thad Cochran's Latest Senior Moment: Gets Lost in Capitol

Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) literally got lost on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, The Hill reports. Cochran accidentally, while speaking with The Hill’s Cameron Joseph, went to the Senate Democrats’ luncheon instead of the Senate Republicans’ luncheon.

“Cochran, while talking with The Hill, made a few wrong turns before accidentally ending up at Senate Democrats' luncheon,” Joseph wrote on Tuesday evening. “After exiting a Senate elevator on the wrong floor, Cochran and The Hill reboarded. He then found the right floor but turned away from the Senate GOP luncheon, a few yards from the elevator, to stroll in the opposite direction, arriving at the Democrats' weekly gathering a few hallways away.”

At that point, Cochran stopped to talk to Democrat Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas—who is facing his own re-election battle against Rep. Tom Cotton (R-AR). Pryor chatted with Cochran for a few minutes and congratulated the senior Mississippi senator on beating conservative state Sen. Chris McDaniel in the recent GOP primary runoff.

“Cochran didn't seem to realize he was in the wrong place, until someone in the room asked him if he was planning to join the Democrats for lunch,” Joseph wrote.

“His father and I were elected to Congress and then to the Senate,” Cochran told The Hill about Pryor.

“The Mississippi Republican then paused for a second, fumbling to read some papers he was holding,” Joseph wrote about what happened next.

“OK, so I've got to find out where…” Cochran then said, prompting The Hill to ask if he was trying to find the room for the Senate GOP luncheon. That luncheon has been held every Tuesday in the same room in the U.S. Capitol for years, Joseph noted.

Sad that he is being used, it makes me sick really.

In the mean time, I am waiting for similar reports on how that dumb a&& harry reid, walks around in circles talking to himself. He has more than a few screws lose.

Most people don’t know that he actually died several years ago.

You know a politician is senile when he can’t even sniff out a free meal.
