We went off the cuff comparing action heroes and politicians with William Garcia, the Democratic Party chair of La Crosse County and the 3rd US House District. After ranting a bit about what Wisconsin Republicans are trying to pull off with impeaching a newly elected state Supreme Court justice, we dove into a real dilemma — where are the fresh faces in action heroes and politics? The conversation began after bringing up that 83-year-old Nancy Pelosi is running for re-election in the US House. And, while we seemingly have geriatric representation in our government, from the episodes of 81-year-old Mitch McConnell and 90-year-old Dianne Feinstein — not to mention who's running for president — we may have an even worse problem in the action hero department. Tom Cruise (61), Denzel Washington (68), Harrison Ford (81) — all three of these are or were starring in action movies in theaters in the last month.
