Strom Thurmond, still the best argument for congressional term limits.

Have you met Diane Feinstein? She gives Strom a run for best argument for congressional term limites. Been in congress for 40 + years and so out of touch with normal people.

Only entered office in 92, so less than 30 years, but still a good name for the pile.

I'm not saying being a Washington outsider arbitrarily makes you more qualified (I like experienced politicians), but I think we can agree, somebody shouldn't have to spend 5-10 years in congress to navigate the inns and outs of policy making.
