Remember, The Age McBush's Father Was When He Died

[Me.]

He was 70. So depending on whose gene pool is strongest in the son, he could live to be as old as his mother, or his sell by date is near and Palin would take his place

1. My nephew called earlier and asked me "so, you think I should

vote for Obama, right?" I said let me ask you this: If McCain dropped dead on Nov 3rd would you vote for Palin or Nov 5th? He said "uh, no". I said vote for whomever you think will make your life better - bless his heart, he said "ok, Obama". he gets it, and he's a military man.

2. Excellent Way Of Framing The Situation

3. If I'm Putin and McCain were to die in office

I would move immediately to invade Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and maybe even Turkey and Finland. I would take advantage of the most unqualified person in world history to lead a country as powerful as the US. She would be beside herself with fear and panic. I would then sign a formal military alliance with Iran and lock down the Strait of Hormuz (where the tankers pass through) and then see what President Palin wanted to do about it.

Strait of Hormuz?

5. That needs to be played up hard.

6. His mother reached her ripe old age without suffering his health problems

She hasn't had four bouts with skin cancer. She hasn't been through five plane crashes and five years in a POW camp. Her son was known for quite a bit of heavy drinking for a time, and I'm assuming she was not.

Add to that the mere fact that men generally don't live as long as women, so I would guess that McSame's life span will be closer to that of his father than his mother.

8. Precisely

7. His grandfather died at 61.

In The Case Of His Grandfather

My understanding is that he died the day after having come home from a very tough war

10. Admirals can't have it all that bad

Honestly, my uncle once told me (I was about 17) that if I ever needed to go into the military that I should go in the navy. He said that no matter how bad things were that on a ship you still had a bed and a galley while in the army you could be sleeping in a ditch and eating ration packs.

I never went into the military but that advice still rings true to me even 28 years later. I assume that an Admiral has a nice cabin and good food and clean uniforms as long as his ship is afloat, even if he did come under fire at times.

9. Or he could die the day after he becomes President, the way his Gramps died the day after returning

from war
