McCain’s contemporaries celebrate another birthday
We’d like to be among the first to wish Sen. John McCain a happy 72nd birthday. And also to note that just because McCain is now the oldest potential president in the history of the country, and just because he has to be checked every few months for a recurrence of his skin cancer and needs Ambien to sleep, and he has kidney stones, enlarged prostate, high cholesterol, and degenerative arthritis, that doesn’t mean he isn’t fit for the 60-plus hour work weeks that presidents must maintain.
We are not at all concerned that a former beauty queen whose only experience holding elective office is 19 months as governor of Alaska would have to step into the office of president in the event that McCain didn’t finish out his term. And with his health about what you’d expect for a 72-year-old with melanoma, what are the odds of that?
So happy birthday, Sen. McCain, and our congratulations on your outstanding and reassuring choice for a running mate!
I’m thinking that she may be the political equivalent of Jesse Ventura-a joke! The problem is that we can’t take the chance that she will ever serve in office higher than a Governorship.
WTF? What qualifications does Mariska Hargitay have to serve as VP???

Maybe he thought he was picking a new wife :-)
If elected, this may be the first time since Darwin that the POTUS and VEEP were both avowed CREATIONISTS. They both believe the Earth is 6,000 years old and the only suitable answer to the innumerable questions concerning evolutionary biology is “God did it,” and they want this to be taught in the public schools. Darwin help us !!
I think you should check your facts before making comments about J.Ventura…Especially since it looks like Arnie “Its Not A Tumor”
is your governor
