Wasn't Palpatine a perfectly normal age for a human politician? I mean, he ate his own Force Lightning to the face and only came out looking like a melted wax statue.

Whereas Yoda being three days older than dirt legitimately did cause problems... Among them, Palpatine.

He would've been relatively normal aged in episode 3 but by the time of Yoda's death he was geriatric.

Also pretty sure his "deformation" was due to his corruption from the dark side and he simply hid it using sith powers and used the force lightning thing as a ploy to help make him seem like a victim

Also Yoda dies like 3 days after this. And Palpatine lives for 30 more years. Somehow.

And then 30 years after that he came back as a ghost of himself. Sound in mind and uh... force ghost body... too. Dude was able to simultaneously pilot an entire fleet of Star Destroyers with his background thoughts.

Honestly, I'm warming to the whole Darth Sidious for President thing. He might be my dark horse third party favorite.
