Will someone please tell me how the hell anyone at all, whether a doctor or not, can tell how long someone is going to live? This is the most ridculous thing I have said, but of course it is Lieberman.
Asked again on Sunday whether Sarah Palin is ready to be president, Sen. Joe Lieberman went one step further than he has in past remarks -- virtually pledging to voters that John McCain "will live to 85 at least."
In an audio clip of the Tampa, Florida, event obtained by the Huffington Post, Lieberman acknowledged that he has spoken "to doctors and insurance actuaries" about McCain's health, "because I get asked this question so much."
"People say to me, oh jeez, he's 72 and he's got skin cancer," Lieberman said, adding: "I can tell you he's been in remission for eight years. Secondly, I talked -- because I get asked this question so much -- I talked to doctors and insurance actuaries. And they tell me based on McCain's age, his health, including skin cancer, he'll live till at least 85. And probably longer."
Lieberman once again offered a prayer that Palin would not soon have to serve as commander in chief: "I believe that he'll be able to serve through his first term for which he's elected, please God."
Next, Lieberman noted that the GOP nominee has a 96 year old mother, and proceeded to relate a story in which he said she looked great, and she asked Lieberman if he was "trying to pick [her] up."
Lieberman is such a little weasel. "Independent Democrat" indeed.
From June 2008 - Top Lieberman Campaign Official: We Begged Obama For Help In 2006 -- And He Came Through
Now that Joe Lieberman has emerged as John McCain's lead attack dog against Barack Obama -- even going so far as to suggest that Obama's judgment could pose a danger to our safety -- there's some very interesting behind-the-scenes back-story to the Lieberman-Obama relationship that you should know about.
Specifically, a top official on Joe Lieberman's 2006 Senate reelection campaign tells me that Lieberman's staff practically begged Barack Obama to come in and endorse him at a critical moment -- requests that Obama agreed to, helping Lieberman minimize the damage from challenger Ned Lamont's recent entry into the contest.
Lieberman is playing the wrong card. McCain's dad died at 70 (heart attack) , grampa at 62. I would not be bringing up family genes since that logic would make John overdue.
Do you have an idea what it takes to be in this campaign? If McCain were going to drop dead, he would have already done so. Most twenty year olds could nottake on the stress and demands that a presidential campaign takes! McCain comes out ever day, full of life, big smile, lots of energy. He is 72 people, the new 62! He is not going to die. It is absurd to think so.
