Comments on: McCain’s so old,… http://norunnyeggs.com/2008/04/mccains-so-old/ The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

He INSISTED that McCain was at least 76! I had to actually load McCain's bio in Wikipedia, show his birthday, August 29, 1936, wait for him to do the math and he STILL didn't believe it. Why? Because he heard somewhere that McCain was old. What's amazing is that some folks will hear something which is either misleading or false, but fits in with their own prejudices, and they want to believe it more than the truth.
