The issue of age has become somewhat of a liability for Senator John McCain this election year. While his competitors have been somewhat mum on the issue, the media has continually questioned it. Is America really ready for the oldest man to ever become President? Meanwhile, one young person memorably asked McCain about his age and was responded to as “you little jerk.”
Now, unfortunately, God has even been drug into the ruckus. While appearing on The Dr. Phil Show, God addressed the issue of McCain’s age. “No, Phil, what I am saying is that people should not let age be a determining factor. After all, I’m a good six full weeks older than John McCain and no one seems to have a problem with my age!”
The repercussions were swift. Liberal blogs were filled with messages decrying McCain as “literally old as dirt.” Meanwhile, The New York Times looked for a way to amend their story concerning a supposed McCain affair using this new information. It appeared it might be a long night.
