Jon Stewart covers John McCain's release of his medical records. Jon finds a particularly interesting line, and provides his own commentary.

Kinda fucked how after all that evidence to the contrary is released the conclusion some broadcasters come with is "he's healthy" - or as Fox News put it "71 is the new 31"

12,000 pages of medical documents in the last 8 years does not = healthy.

^ That's why I raced to post this. Stewart seems to be the only contrarian voice who says the summary is that John McCain is an old man with serious degenerative health problems.

Even Olbermann repeated the "fit to be President" summary, though he raised some particular oddity, too.

If you work in any other non-elected, non-appointed government job, you're forced to retire at 65, and McCain wants to go for the hardest one on the books.

People should be concerned about that, even if they don't mind that the man wants to fan the flames of war in the middle east.

We've all seen how the office of president ages someone. Imagine McCain at the age of 75 running for reelection. Or better yet, just imagine him having to deal with multiple crises at the age of 74 while his prostate is acting up and those damned next door kids are running around on the White House lawn again! I wonder if he'd get a little dog and ride around D.C. with it sitting on his lap with its head out the window. Or maybe he'll be popping Viagra and getting a nine-hour woody and have to be rushed to Walter Reed. Oh, the possibilities!

"he's on 6 different medications"

And these are just the ones that they let the public know about.

No wonder he sometimes gets confused about the facts of an issue during interviews. He's a doddering old man.

That's amazing, all I've heard from the media about McCain's health in the last few weeks are short reports that he has a clean bill of health and he's perfectly fit. . . And I almost exclusively listen to NPR and the BBC.
