Now, in the interest of full disclosure, 14 Republican Senators are
also older than McCain. This raises the larger point: if 70 is too
old to be President, then should one quarter of all Senators be
disqualified from service, too? Is there something special about
being President?
Thinking people realize that, in the grand tradition of Jon Stewart
and Bill Maher, liberals love to play this whole age issue off as
"just joking," while pounding home the age issue ad infinitum. And of
course anyone who dissents has no sense of humor. I find this sort of
thing to be extremely intellectually dishonest.
