The age issue

John McCain is too old to be an effective president, says Pennsylvania Democratic congressman Jack Murtha.

Funny, because McCain is 72; Murtha is 75.
Even better point: why is Murtha, known mainly for all the pork-barrel goodies he brings home to his congressional district, young enough to be a congressman, but McCain is too old? Being a congressman can be a stressful, year-round job, too.

Mainly, to me it's just funny to see Murtha, who is as corrupt as anybody in public office anywhere, lecturing anybody about anything.
