Writing the Editor

To NewsBlaze,

I don't know if Democrats are talking in code when they refer to McCain as confused, doddering and out of touch, but they have every right to highlight McCain's advanced age. Democrats shouldn't be subtle; they should flat out say that McCain is too old to sit in the Oval Office.

If the emperor isn't wearing any clothes, it's not politically incorrect to say that he is as naked as a jaybird. And if a presidential candidate appears confused and befuddled, it's not improper to question his mental condition.

McCain doesn't know a Sunni from a Shiite, and I'd be surprised if he know's an MP3 player from a hearing aid. McCain should have sat out this presidential campaign, and let a much younger person have his turn.

To The Madison Capitol Times,

The problem with McCain isn't his age, it's his poor judgment. It's not that McCain is to old, it's that McCain, like Bush, is just plain wrong and he hasn't learned anything from Bush's mistakes.

Playing Devil's Advocate, one could add to the latter view that Bush also learned about Sunnis and Shiites during on the job training.
