And they say Americans can’t do math….

Take it back, America bashers, or we’ll sic Chuck Norris on you:

Chuck Norris brought his tough-guy approach to the campaign trail Sunday, taking aim at John McCain’s age and suggesting the Arizona senator might not last even a single term.

Norris, an ardent supporter of Mike Huckabee, told reporters he believes serving as president accelerates the aging process 3-to-1.

“If John takes over the presidency at 72 and he ages 3-to-1, how old will he be in four years? Eighty-four years old — and can he handle that kind of pressure in that job?” Norris said, as Huckabee looked on.

Yes 72 + 3×4 = 84! You go, Chuck. And here all along I thought you were just another dumb action star. My bad!

    Congratulations. You’ve produced the first Chuck Huck Yuk Yuk. On the bright side, 84 is only 14 in dog years. I am therefore throwing my support – and a Frisbee – to the Rin Tin Tin, Lassie ticket.

    That’ll go a long way to getting the senior vote.

    That’s nothing! Ron Paul will be 143 even before the election.

    I guess that must be something about Republicans. I know this current administration has seemed like an eternity. And it probably is true that Bush will have done an amount of damage to the country in 8 years that might have taken an ordinary muck raker 24 years to accomplish.

    Watch out people, I think this was the first indication that Huckabee might appoint Norris to revamp the country’s science curriculum. It takes a lot of expertise in accelerated aging to be able to explain the state of the earth when it’s only a few thousand years old.
