CNN's Don Lemon & Dana Bash - rude comments made about McCain's "72-year-old heart"
Self (somewhat) ^

Posted on 08/30/2008 8:27:26 AM PDT by SilvieWaldorfMD

I just saw this on CNN five minutes ago.... Don Lemon telling Dana Bash that Sarah Palin is "a heartbeat away from the Presidency, and that's a 72-year-old heart!", to which Dana agreed and went on to say that Palin's executive experience for the past 13 years includes "a year and a half in the Gvernor's mansion and the rest as mayor of a small town in Alaska!" (emphasis made by her on the words "small town" and "Alaska").

This MSM 'meltdown' is so blatantly obvious........

I know of men and women with 72-year-old strong hearts..... this is ridiculous.... the American Heart Association should put out a statement..... this comment discriminates against older folks and senior citizens.....

F CNN nobody cares what they say or the rest of the media, Nov 4 they will wonder why they were so wrong, again.

Yes, that’s my point, Tor.

ANYONE is at a risk of death — whether by an aneurysm (may my sister-in-law R.I.P. She died suddenly of a brain aneurysm at age 49 last summer), or due to an airplane crash or being hit by a Mack truck.

We know when we are going to be born, but we do not know when we are going to die.

This is VEEEERRRYYYY INNNNTERESTING!

I wouldn't be surprised if all of a sudden Joe Biden "is not feeling well" and decides to "drop out of the ticket" so that Obama can put a woman or someone else in the VP slot.... far-fetched but doable, no?

Sarah Palin appears to have a heart of gold

I love the left. How about we kick all the old liberal farts off of the Supreme Court, and out of the house and senate (looking at you Kennedy and Byrd).

Yea, how old is Breyer and Stephens? The combined age of their hearts must be over 150+ years of age....

Byrd’s heart — well, I don’t even want to go there.

I answered rude with ruder this morning in terms that the woman at the gas station could deal with:

"Dick Cheney's had four heart attacks and he's still with us. McCain doesn't even have a weak heart, so he isn't going to suddenly keel over and die."

Not my finest moment, but it shut her up.

Dear dems, don’t worry about the president’s heart. We have a great back-up.

I’ll have to remember that line for when I have my “run-ins” with other moms at our local grocery store....

A President's job is to make decisions that protect us in a storm, listen to any concerns of his first mate, seek and expect the help of his crew as necessary and change direction as needed.

Palin can do this!

Our problem right now is that we have a "mutinous Congress" and the crew refuses to "do their duty".

I am so sorry to hear of your SIL's untimely death.

Yes, brain aneurysms are not reserved for the elderly. One of my friends dropped dead of a brain aneurysm at her 36th birthday party, and another relative had one at age 44.

If God forbid McCain would drop dead during the term, Palin would be the President...Would Pelosi be the Vice President?
Now that is very scary...

As raw and untested as she may be -- Palin is still more qualified for the White House than Obama.
