Seventy-one-year-old John McCain has used his age mostly as a laugh line on the campaign trail, joking he's as "old as dirt" and has "more scars than Frankenstein."

But Team McCain is quietly starting to get serious about confronting the age issue - it plans to convene an unusual meeting of the senator's doctors next month to answer questions about his health, the Daily News has learned.

At the same time, the Republican presidential hopeful acknowledged last week that some voters may want extra insurance when it comes to electing a septuagenarian - most notably with his choice for vice president.

Personally, I hope Grandpa chooses Romney as his VP. That would be so great. Both candidates on the Repunklican ticket having their own special secret underwear.

Ah hem, would these doctors be the ones from the bush administration, who see if those who are being tortured, can be tortured just a bit more?

John McCain says he doesn"t feel old, BUT :

- When he"s asleep, others worry that he"s dead.
- He"s VERY proud of his lawn mower.
- He enjoys hearing about other people's operations.
- He has dreams about prunes.

I've noticed a lot of seniors can't seem control when they fart,is that what we want in the Oval Office?And the smell they bring to their homes is horrible and permeates the walls and furniture and is really hard to get rid of.

Do their own wives call them "Stinky."

Do their daughters keep their distance?

Of course, with the strident danger of second-hand smoke that libs are so concerned about, maybe that's a good thing.

After the stench that Junior brought to the joint, I doubt McCain could do any worse.

Supporters of W & McCain refer to them as out fine, foul, fetid, friends. HP won't use comments which state what Cheney's close friends call him.

These comments are sickening! A person's age should be prized for wisdom (in McCain's case lack of). His health is not an issue, it is his positions, temper, and ignorance. To criticize a persons age is disrespectful and discriminative. Also, he isn't the oldest running candidate, Nader, Paul, and Gravel are older but more youthful.

Last week, John McCain, Ron Paul and Fred Thompson met at some dinner party.

Paul remarked to the others : "Windy, ain't it?"

"No," Thompson replied : "It's Thursday."

Then McCain said : "So am I. Let's have a Margarita."

The last time he saw his doctor, McCain told him, "I need my sex drive lowered."

The doctor, incredulous, said, "What! You want your sex drive LOWERED ??"

To which the McCain replied "It's all in my head; I need it LOWERED!"
