John McCain on SNL: Vote for Someone Who Is Very Old

Posted by John Publius Jr. on May 18th, 2008 — in Comic Relief, John McCain, Blog

John McCain appeared on Saturday Night Live (SNL) last night and he was pretty funny. He addressed the “age issue” head-on, saying, “We need to elect someone who is very, very, very old”.

It is interesting that presidential candidates have devoted time to appear on comedy shows and other popular TV shows in recent years. Some people criticize this, but I like it as long as we don’t lose sight of the real issues. It is important for our president to be able to connect with the voters, but let’s not elect someone simply because we think they would be a good “drinking buddy”.
