The Age Thing

What Eric said.

The fact that John McCain is older than nachos and chocolate chip cookies is a lot less relevant than the fact that he’d be rubbish as president. Vaclav Havel, for instance — also born in 1936 — would make a fine substitute for John McCain. As would Jim Henson, were he still alive. And don’t forget Zombie Wilt Chamberlain.

I see also that Don DeLillo was born in 1936. I don’t know if he’d be a decent president or not, but I suspect the SOTU addresses would be absolutely spectacular.
