[H]e seemingly didn’t pee once the whole time. (A rep for Booker confirmed to TMZ that he did not wear a diaper during his speech.)
I would have written: A rep for Booker confirmed to TMZ that Booker claimed he did not wear a diaper during his speech. Or, if the rep claimed personal knowledge of which unseen garments Booker wore: A rep for Booker corroborated Booker's claim that he did not wear a diaper during his speech.
Does anyone believe that? It seems reckless. Does Booker want to appear reckless? He may think that appearing reckless is better than being thought of as having worn a diaper. But the fear of being thought of as having worn a diaper is ableist and ageist. And yet, look at our Congress.
For the annals of Things I Asked Grok: "At the State of the Union speech in 2025 — I know it wasn't officially a 'State of the Union' — what percentage of those in the audience were wearing diapers — in your estimation? Consider how long in advance they needed to get to and remain in their seats, the expected length of the speech, the length of time after the speech before access to facilities, and the age and frailty of the members of Congress."
Anyway, the Guardian's answer to its question — "Is that … OK?" — is no.
According to urologists, his no-pee marathon was also deeply unadvisable. “I think [Booker] needs to see a urologist,” says Dr Rena Malik, urologist and pelvic surgeon. “He probably has some real bladder dysfunction. That’s not normal. A normal person can’t do that.”...So, I hope he was lying about not wearing a diaper.
Holding one’s pee for too long can lead to urinary tract infections (UTIs) as well as bladder and kidney damage. “Eventually, the body will contract the bladder involuntarily to empty its contents,” says [Dr Seth D.] Cohen. “This is called incontinence.”
Another question — set of questions — I aimed at Grok: "I remember an old story about a man at some swanky royal dinner who avoided getting up to relieve himself and it got to the point where his bladder burst and killed him. What was that story? Was it true? And is that something that happens? Wouldn't any 'bursting' occur at the level of simply peeing in his pants? Or is it possible to have such strong control over the entrance to the urethra that the bladder itself would burst?"
Grok answers: here.

Depends on the definition of diaper?

The Portable Urinal Kit Includes:
✔ 7 male external catheters
✔ 18″ flexible hose with connector
✔ 2 latex free straps
✔ A pee bag to collect the urine
A completely discrete device that is safe to wear for almost any occasion.
There are only 23 people in America who know this even took place.

OK, 5.
I’m pleased that the Tycho Brahe story is unlikely to be true as I inevitably think about it every time I really have to go but, for whatever reason, can’t.
Booker also denies using a catheter.
Think how much longer he could've lasted if he wore a diaper! And he could've talked about wearing a diaper as a way to extend his speech topics!
I don't trust someone who claims to hold his pee for over a day. The party of science stretches credulity on that one.
“Sen. Cory Booker says he didn't eat for days, stopped hydrating before history-making speech”
I don’t believe he didn’t pee for 25 hours.
Plus, does he really want this topic to be what people remember or are curious about regarding his speech?
Would an antidiuretic drug do this?
Pope John Paul II didn't shit in the woods for 3 days one time.
Dude was a legend.
This story reminds me of the crazy female astronaut who drove across country wearing a diaper
If the story is true his back teeth were floating for sure
On gameday, I was always taught that you needed to hydrate until you had completely colorless urine before the game or you were guaranteed to cramp into a tight ball of ouch sometime halfway through the third quarter. That could be because I grew up in Florida, but I have seen athletes cramp up north of the Mason Dixon line.
Hence, I must credit the Senator's unforgettable performance to AI.
Prove me wrong.
Now I am wondering if Strom thurmond wore a diaper.
Howard, she wore a MAG (Maximum Absorbency Garments). That's just NASA's way of not calling Depends "Depends", and also so that Depends can sell NASA "special" diapers that cost more money than commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products. MAGs are meant for launches and spacewalks, which require about 6 hours without the option of going to a toilet.
I often happen to state, solemnly, the most clownish propositions. I do not find that that provides a peremptorily sufficient reason for expanding the mouth! "I cannot help laughing," you will answer me; I accept this absurd explanation, but let it be a melancholy laugh, then. Laugh, but weep at the same time. If you cannot weep with your eyes, weep with your mouth. If this is still impossible, urinate. But I warn you, some sort of liquid is needed here to accentuate the drought which sidesplit-pundit laughter carries in her womb. - Lautreamont
Trusting that diaper the first time you finally let her rip would be hard. It'd be like that game where you let yourself fall backwards trusting your friends to catch you.
I'd get the most commodious diaper available. I'd read all the reviews. I'd get friggin' Contractor Grade, baby, and seal that sucker with a caulking gun.
Does FedEx make a diaper? FedEx. When it absolutely positively has to be there overnight. I'd get those.
Booker was just doin’ what comes natural to him and now he is really full of shit.
Wait, this is BS. On the radio, they said he would occasionally yield the floor to a colleague for a long-winded question (up to 15 minutes) then come back to answer.
I find it remarkable that the Dems are celebrating Booker talking for 24 hours straight and (apparently not peeing), but to the best of my knowledge no one seems to know what he said during that period. And this stunt is all it took to rise to the top of the Dem presidential race for '28? These people are truly lost in the wilderness.
Burt Reynolds used one of these in the movie Semi Tough.

Some years ago, we had a neighbor who flew bombing missions during WWII in the Pacific. He told our two sons about the “poop suit” he wore and made use of on long missions. Our sons were in elementary school at the time and they were fascinated by that admission, lol.
Booker also denies using a catheter.
The Immaculate Retention
This story reminds me of the crazy female astronaut who drove across country wearing a diaper
Q: How long does it take to drive from Houston to Orlando?
A: Depends.
He's an politician, so he lies. Worse, he's a Democrat politician, so it's a guarantee that he lies. He likely didn't do it by dehydrating or starving himself - his voice wouldn't have held up. I still want to know under what parliamentary rule he held the floor and wasted the nation's legislative time for a day, but aside from that - nobody cares. He didn't have anything to say.
He still shat all over, though.
It's telling that the Democrats have to resort to cheap stunts like this to even be noticed any longer.
Nobody can even tell me what Booker was on about. But they all know he was on about it for 25 hours and pissed himself doing it.
That's comforting. Democrats must resort to golden self-showers to get clicks. And they're only too willing to do it.
Corey Booker is the first Senate Onlyfan and his kink is pee play.
A magician never reveals his secrets. By the same token, I would advise Senators to be very careful before trying on any old top hat found in the Senate cloakroom.
His talkathon stunt was such a dud they're trying to keep it newsworthy by discussing whether he wore a diaper or not. Heh. That's pretty pathetic.
Is that okay? It Depends!

Booker, of course, is lying.
"I Could Get Uromysitisis Poisoning And Die!"
Among links I will never click are the answer to the burst bladder question. And I will die at some point in the future never regretting my decision. And has anyone used the phrase so endearingly applied to Mitt Romney on Cory Booker, and asked if he used magic underwear?

I asked Grok about the death of Tycho Brahe.
Tycho Brahe, the renowned Danish astronomer, died on October 24, 1601, in Prague. The exact cause of his death has been a matter of debate for centuries. The most widely accepted historical account is that he died of a bladder or kidney ailment, likely exacerbated by his reluctance to leave a banquet out of politeness, which led to a urinary retention issue. According to this story, he held his urine for too long during the event, and this caused a bladder infection or possibly a burst bladder, leading to his death 11 days later.
Cory Booker running off at the mouth, whilst not running off through the proper orifices, what's so unusual about that?
"Booker also denies using a catheter."
Booker is also a serial liar.
There is an ongoing sinkhole problem going on here in NWNJ. It is causing major headaches for commuters, thru traffic and major accidents daily and traffic being diverted on to local roads
A few weeks ago Murphy, Gotheimer(sp), Kean, Duffy and a few local politicians showed up for a photo op. Would have been nice if Booker had taken a minute to pretend to be concerned about what is going on in his home state. Instead he was making plans to showboat for his constituents in the press. What an ass.
His talkathon stunt was such a dud they're trying to keep it newsworthy by discussing whether he wore a diaper or not. Heh. That's pretty pathetic.
Exactly well said.

Here's a 5-6 hour snippet of the speech. About 4 hours and 40 minutes in he yields to a question, which the questioner poses for close to 15 minutes. The camera doesn't show booker during this time. I looked at his clothes before and after, I can't tell if they appear to be removed/adjusted (i.e. use the bathroom, refresh yourself)
It's a feat of endurance even if he did go pee. And I'll credit him with that endurance.
But the speech itself was meaningless pablum
Didn't wear a diaper? But he wore a black suit. Let's see Booker try that speech in a white linen suit.
Bill: Battle of the Bulge, Remagen.
Ed: Philippines, Battle of Manila.
Wally: Aleutians, Battle of Attu.
.
.
Cory: Once held his pee for 25 hours.
Storm Thurmond just used his hood as a diaper
“…[Booker] yields to a question, which the questioner poses for close to 15 minutes. The camera doesn't show Booker during this time. I looked at his clothes before and after, I can't tell if they appear to be removed/adjusted (i.e. use the bathroom, refresh yourself)”
Peegate! When did he pee and who among All the Senator’s Men knew about it?
Booker trained by sitting through several of Wagner's operas without a break.
Grok seems to have missed an additional cause of potential bladder rupture, at least for (biological) males: that of an enlarged prostate (BPH in medical terms). A “perfect storm” can be caused by consuming a large quantity of liquid (e.g. big gulp, pitcher of beer, etc.) and then holding it in too long (such as during a car ride, movie, or other such event). The resulting pressure in the bladder causes what was already weak flow to turn into zero flow as the on/off valve is seemingly forced closed, like a lock on a river holding back the upstream flow. Additionally, BPH can be aggravated by certain medications such as antihistamines. All of this cascades into a complete inability to urinate, regardless of how much one wants to. The only way to avoid bladder rupture at this point is an emergency room visit and subsequent catheterization. Ask me how I know...
“Cory Booker didn’t go to the bathroom for 25 hours. Is that … OK?"
It’s OK with me, as long as he keeps his distance.
No diaper? A diving suit with neoprene legs would route urine down and away. A dry suit would keep it nice and neat. There are also travel urinals with a cup that a man puts around his johnson and then pees in a bottle. It's not a diaper...
Can anyone quote one thing that Booker said? I certainly can't.
The legend I recall is Strom Thurmond (and maybe others) pissing in a waste basket back in the day. Booker's claim seems pretty low-T. Just whip it out and drain the lizard.
Booker booked his appointment to the bathroom sooner. The problem was he had Obamacare. He had to wait.
Stadium Pal
Maybe he did what vets do with elderly cats that have kidney disease: had a subcutaneous hydration bag of electrolytes and
maybe nutrients injected before the speech. It doesn't go fast to the bladder like using a vein.
That would be weird, but Booker is committed weird.
He went wee wee all the way home though.
This is such an obvious ploy for attention for his aspiration to be Obama deux. He does need to be given an award. Blowhard of the Year.
Yesterday:
"These men are all caught with their pants down, and Theissen marvels at how well-endowed they are."
And today the talk is of Cory Booker and his Whizzinator. Theissen is redeemed.
Yes, holding your uring too long is a dangerous thing to do. The Roman soldiers considered it a very macho thing to do. (Which is why I think that Cory Booker wanted people to think that he held his urine for 24 hours. I suspect that he was wearing an adult diaper, but he also might have massively dehydrated himself beforehand - which is also dangerous.)
Remember that scene in The Right Stuff where Alan Shepherd is waiting to launch and has to urinate? They eventually tell him to do it in the suit.
"Way-O, I'm a wet bag now!"
Booker used to be considered a serious person and was highly touted in NYC as business-friendly, well-educated and well-read by many persons of both parties. He was particularly popular in the Republican business community (it is larger than people think) because of his business-friendly "aspect". What a comedown and what a clown!
Normal adult humans excrete about 1-2 liters per day of urine, affected primarily by liquid consumption - health conditions aside. There are plenty of men that are incontinent for various reasons, and plenty of solutions. The most obvious would be a Texas catheter - which is just a condom with a tube - and a one liter bag. There are rigs for strapping the bags to your leg, where it is completely unnoticeable.
This is not the kind of feat to be treated with awe and astonishment. Booker has nothing to say, and he chose the most pretentious way he could find to say it.
Urine luck, Cory
Who cares if he he held his urine. I want to know if he held his mud. And no submissions without evidence, puhleeze.
No piss...just 25 hours of horseshit.
Now I am wondering if Strom Thurmond wore a diaper.
Only when he wanted a spanking ...
Obviously, he pissed his pants!
So most important issue re: Booker's performance is whether he peed or didn't pee?
Re: Bladder bursting. There was a "Wee for a Wii" contest on a radio station in 2007. A female contestant died from holding her urine back too long. This effectively ended radio contests of that sort.
