McCain Campaign Announces He Has Only a Few Years Left to Live
Advertisements [?]
From the NYT, via Talking Points Memo:
McCain advisor Charlie Black on questions about Sarah Palin's foreign policy competence.
"She's going to learn national security at the foot of the master for the next four years, and most doctors think that he'll be around at least that long."
How many doctors has McCain consulted?
What percentage constitutes "most" - fifty-one percent?
How many doctors think McCain's time is almost up?
I'm not even touching that "foot of the master" stuff.
This whole quote is one of the most flabbergasting things I've ever heard from a presidential campaign.
The rest of the thread is normal DUmmy talk.

8. Oooops....Slick Charlie's Done It Again
This isn't the first time Charlie's talked out of school. I wonder if this may trigger a call within the media to push to investigate Gramps medical records. If you'll recall all reporters were able to see was a redacted evaluation that was available for just a few hours and reporters were only allowed to take notes...not copies.
The Palin pick may just spur a deeper look into Gramps real condition. There's a reason the GOOP are so touchy about his age...while they dismissed Raygun's when he ran for his second term in '84...and Raygun was older (73) and had been shot. If anything, Raygun made light of it when he scored big on Mondale during the debates with the "I'm not gonna let your age and inexperience be a factor in this election". Raygun turned a negative to a positive...Gramps people are whining and screetching at the mere mention of his age. Makes one wonder...
Cheers...

15. Stunned in DC
This is one strange statement. This guy earned his lizard skin over decades.
If he's popping off like this, then there's something bigger or this is so FUBAR that he
knows it's over.
I love the investigation into her getting her ex brother in law fired from the state troopers.
She's one vengeful princess ... oops, Pain is one of those folks who must be obeyed
However if you follow the convoluted path of links posted this is the actual quote from the article..
She’s going to learn national security at the foot of the master for the next four years, and most doctors think that he’ll be around at least that long,†said Charlie Black, one of Mr. McCain’s top advisers, making light of concerns about Mr. McCain’s health, which Mr. McCain’s doctors reported as excellent in May.
One person did and posted it (toddGA (16 posts) but of course has been ignored.
Frank once again is correct about how they lie,all the time they lie as well as the need to check their links.
