Does anyone really know what is wrong with McCain? Physically, I mean...

[NRaleighLiberal]

I am watching him speak on PBS newshour - he sounds weak and feeble, but when I looked at the picture, his left cheek is becoming more and more swollen. Is this related to the cancer that he had treated? It is amazing to me that someone that appears to be so fragile could possibly go the distance in this campaign. Is there anything specific physically wrong with him, that we know of?

1. He has had a LOT of skin cut off his face

His various skin-cancer surgeries were pretty extensive, compared with people I've known. There's a chunk taken off the left side that's almost palm-sized.

I assume he wears a lot of make-up on TV.

2. I don't know, but I read today that Huckleberry used to weigh

300 pounds.

5. Huck looks like he's porking up again

Maybe he will lose his medical insurance.

7. yes. and

the Huckster sure did look like he could be Jerry Falwell's kid brother back during his big-boned days:

12. Yeah .... its the result of that high on the hog televangelist/huckster living

He and Falwell are two peas in an ugly pod.

13. Hucky's whole family used to look like that

as if they'd swallowed a Krispy Kreme factory...bricks, mortar and all;

[JenniferJuniper]

15. well, to be fair

we can't really see much of the girl.

Maybe she's slim. And ashamed. In a Marilyn Munster kind of way.

I'm actually more horrified by the Bobbsey Twin matching outfits.

18. My 96 year old grandmother commented

about McCain just a few weeks ago, "That poor man doesn't look like he's too long for this world".

16. Who decided on those shirts? They look like what a prisoner would wear.

[no name no slogan]

17. They mugged the Kingston Trio

or was it the Beach Boys, circa 1963?

[MoonRiver]

20. But his wife has really gone downhill since that picture was taken.

Have you seen her? She looks incredibly dowdy and drab. It was really noticeable when she was around McCain's and Giuliani's wives. I felt sorry for her.

3. I agree he does NOT look healthy.

Did you know he had to take out a special life insurance policy in order to get funding? They wanted to make sure he could survive the campaign.

4. McCain's in amazing shape

FOR A MUMMY!!!

[TexasObserver]

6. he's got terminal constipation

that's why he's so full of shit

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. The campaign's really taking a toll.

I wonder if he'll make it to the general.

9. McCain's health...

Mentally and physically, will be the arrow aimed at him in the fall if he wins the nomination.

It's precarious at best.

I'm still shocked that he's getting so many endorsements. And frankly, I think he's extremely beatable if he wins the nomination... unless he picks a running mate that every Republican in every cubby hole would crawl out of to see in power.

10. His face is the result of several extensive cancer surgeries. His arms are .......

..... less than fully functional due to his captivity many years ago in Viet Nam.

His cheek is scar tissue and a less than perfect reconstruction after they took half his face.

He can't be in good shape. He's pretty old, too, for a candidate. In fact, he'd be older than St. Ronald and we all know what a disaster it was having that feeble minded old fucker made by his handlers to appear lucid.

I also seriously think he has some mental issues going on. He's a cranky old fuck with a very short fuse.

I think we need to make his age and obvious physical and mental limitations an issue if he gets the nom.

Fuck that war hero shit. He a nasty old curmudgeon on the edge of a cancer relapse and senility.

[nutsnberries]

11. i don't know the specifics but he can't lift his arms and

i think one is worse than the other. due to torture in vietnam.

[Bobbieo]

14. If he has melonoma, I sure don't envy him. My fiirst husbad died from that and it

was very painful!!!

[sidwill]

19. He has abnormally short upper appendages.

Really, it's creepy.
