Since when did NGR support McCain and have to defend him? Ask and ye shall be answered... half-heartedly.

McCain is not ready to be the leader of America, either, but at least he's older, wiser and has served his country. Him being older has nothing to do with anything except his physical health. If it did, Obama is 3 years older than Palin so that should end her candidacy. He's not wiser: He. Broke. The. Law. He. Helped. Write. How's THAT for wisdom? And the Keating Five scandal. And the lobbyists running his campaign. And constantly getting basic facts wrong while campaigning for president (Czechoslovakia? Sunnis/Shiites/Iran? among other things). And repeating them after he's been corrected. And then lying about it. And cheating on his sick wife. Christ, the list goes on. Where the f*ck are you getting this "he is wiser" sh*t? Serving one's country is not a qualification for the presidency, it just looks good on the resume. If it were, Gen. Wesley Clarke (who actually GAVE orders, not just TOOK them like McCain) would never have been denigrated for pointing out McCain's status as a POW is not a qualification for the presidency. Notice how Fred Thompson, who never served a day in uniform except on TV, pointed out the exact same thing as Gen. Clarke ... and crickets. No howling about how Thompson is insulting McCain and our service personnel.

I'm not an Obamaniac. He wasn't my first choice, or second, and I'm hard-pressed to call him my third (certainly beats Hillary, though) but this line you posted is just utter crap.
