At Least He's Not Drooling John McCain has an amazing knack for deflecting critisism with a great line. During his intitial Congressional run, McCain was new to Arizona and was accused of being a carpet bagger. His response was that the placed he's lived the longest is Hanoi. End of debate. When recently asked if his age was an issue, McCain said that he was "older than dirt and had more scars than Frankenstein." But one picture is worth a thousand sound bites, and falling asleep during the State of the Union Speech is, shall we say, rather un-presidential.
