"But McCain's mistakes raise a serious, if uncomfortable question: Are the gaffes the result of his age? And what could that mean in the Oval Office?"
How OLD is he?
When asked to be a running mate Jesus worried his youth would be a disadvantage...
To him conservatism is the fight against global warming at the end of the ice age....
The jokes and snide comments about his age are starting to look YOUNG.
Look, I'm not excited that the better man for the job of the presidency is a man who thinks computers are paperweights you can plug in, but one of the greatest presidents this country has elected was an old man...the oldest yet at the time.
It has NOTHING to do with age.
It doesn't stop the press from pressing the question. We don't get news articles about policy speeches and campaign stops...we get constant reminders like the above link that the roadblock to "progress" is a really old white guy.....oh and don't forget....he's old.
And one other thing...he's old.
Liberals have every reason to be more scared of a President McCain than anything else...he will likely appoint up to 2 Supreme Court Justice's. The likely nominees for replacement are Ruth Bader Ginsberg and John Paul Stevens....incidentally both use all 3 names...
TANGENT TIME:
Is it just me or is it more than coincidence that the crazies in history are identified with 3 names?
Lee Harvey Oswald
John Hinkley Jr.
Osama bin Ladin
But The Looking Spoon...what about Martin Luther King Jr.? Four names....count 'em...3 is an odd number...hence the ODD that comes with it.
But The Looking Spoon...what about The Looking Spoon? Thats right! Don't you forget the oddity that is me! But I digress...
END TANGENT TIME
Its not just the names of these justices...its their AGE...Ginsberg is 75, and Stevens is 88. This makes concerns over McCain's age puzzling since both justices are older than he is.....and yet....there are no questions on "what this means for the Supreme Court" as these justices along with justices Breyer and Souter are sacred cows in the liberal orthodoxy. So their age has nothing to do with their job performance because they pull the lever for the right people.
This begs the question: If McCain is old enough to witness the signing of the constitution, shouldn't he be our leader for no other reason than he'll actually understand it better than those four whipper snapper upstarts?
Food for thought.....It is a virtual truism that "with age comes wisdom"....and its not a coincidence that Barack Obama, 46, has never been accused of having wisdom, even by his own party. Instead, we get platitudes about "hope" and "change" and "well, the youth like him."
Its not enough that the Democratic primary season was nothing more than a vote for prom king based on which minority will be more cool to have on the general election ballot, but now we're being told that we have to follow the lead of kids who get their news from MTV and The Daily Show.
No wonder Barack Obama's initials are B.O.....everything about this overemphasis on youth stinks like a newborn baby's diaper.
I don't know...Maybe its just me...
