Term Limits? Age Limts?

Good idea from a moron:

• Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said this week that he wants a mandatory retirement age of 75 for people running the federal government.

  Emanuel made the comments at two events in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday — a conversation with reporters hosted by The Christian Science Monitor, and an event primarily focused on education policy hosted by the Center for American Progress, a progressive think tank.

  The former mayor, 66, said rule should apply to all three branches of the federal government — including the president, members of Congress, and all judges.

  Emanuel said he would include the rule as part of a greater effort toward ethics reform.

There ought to be term limits and mandatory retirements across the board for all manner of political animal. For far too long, these leeches build power and then shut out people with newer and (sometimes) better ideas.

In fact, there ought to be a limit to years of "public service" altogether that would shut out Rahm immediately - aside from World's Clumsiest Deli Slicer, he's never held a real job in his life that wasn't attached to politics, so his meter ran out years ago. 

At least he isn't suggesting what his brother did and start killing old people once they hit seventy-five, though we'd make a few exceptions.
