With Democrats on the precipice of raising the age issue against John McCain, Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont acknowledged what many insiders have been suspecting for some time, my colleague Ken Vogel reports.
Leahy told Vogel yesterday the media has given McCain a free pass on flubs including mixing up Middle East geography, Shiite and Sunni Muslims, and referring to Russia's relationship Czechoslovakia — a country that hasn't existed for 15 years.
"It was the same way with Ronald Reagan in the last few years he was president," Leahy said, referring to the belief that Reagan experienced early signs of Alzheimer's disease late in his presidency.
The press "let Ronald Regan get away with. I'm just saying he gets a free ride," Leahy said, all coinciding with new suggestions that McCain might be exhibiting early stages of Alzheimer's disease.

Drinking liquor every day is the key to old age? Take a look... what about having no kids? Can that make you live a decade?

Who cares. The current President has no brains at all. An Alzheimer's patient would be an improvement.

WTF? This is the funniest MF since GW. I guarantee you will have a hilarious eight years of phukin up America's enemies and opponents. Just as every black hero needs theme music, every wartime CiC needs a sense of humour.

In this pic, McCain looks like he is once again dumping a fresh pile of Apple-Cinnamon porridge into his Huggies.

Smears Smears Smears. Nothing but smears. Neither McCain or BO have been asked real questions. Post like this make us look like retards. Blindly backing either one is ignorant when not one has answered a single question.

Where have you been over the past 18 months??? They have both been asked thousands of questions and answered many of them...Now you or I may not like the answers, but don't say they have not answered any questions...That is a cynical vantage point to rest your elbows...

I don't understand how anyone can say the candidates haven't ben asked any questions. They've been asked plenty in the last 6 months. McCain- How's the economy? Oh I think it's doing all right. McCain- How many homes do you own? I'll have to get my staff to get you the answer. McCain- Being asked a question about the economy. I'm not really too good on the economy. MCcain- What is Iran doing in Iraq? they're training Sunni Al-qaida terrorists. (Iran is a Shiite nation). McCain also referred to a More..
