McCain is so old…

… that he can’t remember how many houses he owns:

Politico:Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said in an interview Wednesday that he was uncertain how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own.

“I think — I’ll have my staff get to you,” McCain told us in Las Cruces, N.M. “It’s condominiums where — I’ll have them get to you.”

Here’s a site devoted to John McCain is so old… jokes:

“John McCain is so old … the last time he got an erection his wife assumed it was rigor mortis.”

Please click on that link and report back with your favorites. They are mostly lumpen, but not all. Here’s one: “John McCain is so old… when he was a kid rainbows were in black and white.”

You’ll note that I like to call attention to my age when writing about ageism. I have been thinking of putting it in my signature line. “JULES SIEGEL (72)…” My name says it for my typically self-loathing leftist anti-Zionist propaganda messages. I don’t want to get the AARP-types sending me hate mail, though.

This could be a big thing. I don’t know, maybe it should be left in the dog whistle stack. Yes, under the radar (got to use the right nomenclature when strategizing. It could ricochet, right? I’m not worried about the outraged eruption of steaming backslosh. That will help it go viral. But exposing the issue could neutralize it. No, no, we want this sledge hammer.

I think. Ethical considerations enter. Political correctness, too. My son Jesse politely informed me that one says Asians, not orientals (for rugs and objects, he helpfully explained). Did I mention that I am 72?

Is it wrong to despise John McCain for demanding to assume a role that he is no longer physically capable of fulfilling?

He’s got the garrulous old man blues so bad they had to take his cell phone away. He can’t even campaign a full week; has to rest on weekends; confessed to needing more sleep, using Ambien (uk — vile memory bleach).

Just what the world needs now.
