It's Not About Age, Murtha

U.S. Congressman John Murtha, D-Pennsylvania, stated this week that John McCain is 'too old to be President.' The comments immediately drew the ire of the American Association of Retired Persons.

It's not about age, Murtha.

Although John McCain is 71, he looks and acts 15 years younger. Murtha is younger than the GOP nominee but looks and acts like he is 10 years older than McCain.

Chronological age is not the factor it once was in politics as the overall health of senior Americans has improved significantly. But the ability to grasp issues and articulate them in a coherent fashion IS important, and Murtha has shown over the past few years that perhaps it is time for him to think about hanging it up.

Perhaps Murtha was speaking prophetically...about himself.
