We have already had a president who had old-timers. Shouldn’t WE expect a president who has all hios working brain cells in order???? I don’t endorse Bush-Lite!

Could McCain be suffering from early stage dementia?

Senator McCain is making errors because he is too old (72 years old) to tolerate the amount of campaigning required for the job.

Everything slows down for us seniors, including Mr. McCain; however, he refuses to admit that his body and mind are not up to such strenuous activity. I hope that his wife and/or his doctor will clue him in before he implodes.

What a great excuse: McCain is not incompetent, he’s just senile.

With friends like that, who needs enemies…

Should McCain have to pass a mental physical to be a republican nominee??

A “senior moment?” Who, in their right mind, would support a candidate who experiences such senior moments? I’m 60 years old myself, so only 11-12 years younger than McCain. But if I was having “senior moments,” I sure as hell wouldn’t be running for any position of major responsiblity. Just what we need is some “senior moment” guy or woman with the ability to order a nuclear strike. How truly crazy is this? The term itself indicates some decline in cognitive ability!!

One other thing,
Hume did claim that world leader are comfortable with McCain if President?

Does that mean Putin, Ah-mad-in-the-head, Osama want McCain to be president? Or does Hume imply that our ally countries think they can take advantage of a senile old US President?

Britney Hume did say it was a “senior moment” right?

Could there be a “senior moment” in a McCain presidency in regards to the Nuclear weapons connected with a senior moment?

Yet, Britney Hume would be on this for a month if it were Obama or something Obama’s pastor says about race?

Thats what I like about FOX, “Fair and Balanced”. Right?

You tell me, Was this clip put on as “news/reporting” or as “opinion”? ?????

So what happens if President McCain has a “senior moment” when he receives one of these 3 a.m. calls?

Over the past two days, the fawning American media has provided rave reviews of John McCain’s visit to France. While the New York Times lauded “McCain’s soothing tones,” Time gushed about “McCain’s Paris romance” and the transformation of Franco-American relations made possible by his warm embrace of French President Nicolas Sarkozy. But lost in these accounts is John McCain’s vitriolic France-bashing in the run-up to the war in Iraq. Back in 2003, John McCain stood shoulder to shoulder with the Paris-hating purveyors of “freedom fries” and “old Europe.”

Let’s hope old McMaverick’s senior moments wouldn’t accompany those 3am phone calls, huh?

“Well, we know he’s marginal at best, but he’s not black or a woman, so he must be best for the country”??

Righties’ “Krazy Logik” is as incoherent as their “Idiot Mathematics”.

The problem with taking McCain on about his advanced age, is that if a candidate brought it up in debate, he’d fall back on Reagan’s smarmy, paternalistic “well, there you go again” line – although it could be countered by the democratic candidate noting Reagan sold weapons to terrorists and then seemingly forgot about it, implying that McCain might also think up some hairbrained, illegal scheme, to further his own political interests, and then conveniently “forget” about it, if discovered.

“Senior moment” indicates mental impairment.

They will happen more frequently, with the greater stress of a general election campaign, so a compendium of “McCainisms” will be generated by his inevitable media appearances. At that point, the democratic strategy should shift, from branding McCain as McSame, to highlighting his mental impairment, as demonstrated by his loose lip.

And Hume supposes that the American public would be OK with someone having senior moments in the White House?
We already endured that with Reagan – we don’t need that repeated.
However, Hume, who obviously adores Reagan doesn’t see the potential harm and danger in that.

It’s not “A senior moment” it’s THREE of them, within 2 days.
Arguably then he’s senile.
AND/OR
If After 9(?)trips to Iraq he’s learned nothing, he’s a fool.
AND/OR
After repeating his claims after having been corrected by Liebermann, he’s an idiot.
AND/OR
If he KNOWS his claims of Iran training AQ are false but repeats them anyway, he’s a liar.
AND/OR
If he thinks everyone will believe what he says just because he repeats it and that no-one will challenge him with already established facts that wholly refute his claims, then he’s an arrogant idiot.

McCain is an arrogant fool, idiot and liar, who may well be going senile. Meet John ReaganBush, another quality candidate of the GOP.
