1. Alf Landon lived to be 99

But he died in 1987.

[Wickerman]

2. Dick Cheney is only 67?

Wait, how many years is that in undead world?

[Sebastian Doyle]

4. This is one of those cases where chronological age isn't the "real" age.

Clearly, DICK has the heart of a 90-something year old man. Assuming it's not a complete cyborg replacement by now.

[Posteritatis]

9. Bah, he has the heart of a small and innocent child

He just forgets which desk drawer he keeps it in.

[wtmusic]

11. He ate it for lunch.

What's for dessert?

[Bicoastal]

6. Hard to believe, isn't it?

But it's true--and it means that Joe Biden is 6 years OLDER than Cheney was when he first entered the White House.

You're only as young as you feel.

[Radical Activist]

3. In 2016 Al Gore will still be younger than McCain is now.

Interesting. That should be long enough for people to realize that he was right about global warming.

[Sebastian Doyle]

7. If they don't, there may not be many left to realize it much later than that.

5. 93? Wow

Whatever their views (I know nothing of the guy beyond the name and age), anyone who's taking a shot at high office at that age is hardcore.

[Bicoastal]

8. No, no, no--that's how old he is NOW.

10. D'oh! (nt)
