Another Malicious Murtha Mumble
2008-04-16
WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic Rep. John Murtha says Republican Sen. John McCain is too old to be president. Murtha told a union audience Wednesday that the presidency is "no old man's job."
Being a Senile Snide Senator is, though.
The Pennsylvania congressman is supporting Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Murtha is 75, four years older than McCain. He says they are nearly the same age, and the rigors and stress of the presidential campaign is too much for guys their age. If elected, McCain will be the oldest president to occupy the Oval Office at the age of 72.

#5  Some can't handle the rigors of a presidential campaign at 40, Congressman Murtha. Others slow down at 90. Future-President McCain appears to be handling the rigors or running better than Murtha does sitting quietly in the Senate.

#1  I take it that McCain won't be receiving an endorsement from the 'UnIndited treasonous corrupt political sacks of smelly old shit' political group. That's too bad....

His campaign said Wednesday Murtha's comments were "nonsense attacks."

Considering Traitor Murtha had also convicted good, honorable, men of committing murder in cold blood before they even had a trial, I would say 'nonsense' is too kind a word.
