Harry Dean Stanton is really, really old. He’s been acting (literally) since John McCain was a plebe in the U.S. Naval Academy. Which was just before the earth cooled.
So what the heck is Stanton doing complaining that McCain is “old and ill”? Especially considering that Stanton himself looks like something I saw on last week’s “Antiques Road Show.”
He’s so old and decrepit that when God said “Let there be light,” Stanton was the one who hit the switch.
He’s so old that when he orders a three-minute egg, they ask for the money up front.
He’s so old that his first job waiting tables was at The Last Supper.
He’s so old that his Social Security number is 42.
He’s so old that his high-school portrait is painted on the inside of a cave in France.
He’s so old that when he started using cologne, they called it “New Spice.”
He’s so old that his first “Depends” were actually cloth diapers.

Can you add to the riff? Harry Dean Stanton (or John McCain, if you’d prefer) is so old…
At some point you just have to give up and stop dyeing it.
He’s so old… He could die any second.
What?
He’s so old, he broke his hip at Keith Richards’ bar mitzvah.
John McCain is not young for his age. His father died of a stroke at age 70. His grandfather
died of a heart attack at age 68. Both his father and grandfather had excellent health treatment because both were four-star Admirals.
John McCain has lived a very privileged life. First as the son a 4-star Admiral and now as the husband of a woman with a net worth of greater than $100 million. John & Cindy McCain own eight private homes. Eight multi-million dollar private homes. Just like you and me. And just like you and me John McCain wears $520.00 shoes. Salvatore Ferragamo
“Pregiato Moccasins” available at your local Neiman Marcus department store.
He’s so old, he was 53 when they filmed “Alien”.
Am I doing this wrong?
He’s so old, he said the exact same thing when we elected Andrew Jackson.
John McCain isn’t older than dirt but he remembers when it was a new thing.
All of that stuff, except the age, applied to John Kerry too. I didn’t hear any lefties complaining then.
He’s so old, his toes get *smooth* when he stays in the tub too long
I don’t get it. What is the left complaining about? Bush is about to leave office and, apparently, McCain is so old that he’ll be dead by April. Around the same time Obama will be resurrected and he can just assume the Presidency. What are the socialists complaining about?
Rocko I don’t know but I’m sure the neo-cons are also complaining. lol
Grrr…at people using terms and not really understanding the history and meaning of them
Harry Dean Stanton is so old, he did Shakespeare. Literally.
Wow. A random celebrity has a random comment. This is surely news when there is nothing else of interest to report…..

Stanton is so old, he’s older than Madonna.
He is so old that when he was a kid the Dead Sea was just sick!
John McCain is so old that on the seventh day when God rested, he said, “John, I’m leaving you in charge, just make sure that snake doesn’t get into the garden.”
John McCain is so old, if he becomes president, he’ll be four years older when he’s done. Being president.
Why can’t I get the hang of this?!
Actually, neo-cons are probably whole heartedly behind McCain. I agree with your sentiment about people using terms without understanding the history and meaning of them.
He’s so old he remembers when God was a corporal.
Was that a Hitler joke? I get confused so often on these things…
John McCain has lived a very privileged life? I’m not a McCain fan, but get real. You make it out like he is some spoiled brat.
During the Vietnam War, he nearly lost his life in the 1967 USS Forrestal fire. Later that year while on a bombing mission over North Vietnam, he was shot down, badly injured, and captured as a prisoner of war by the North Vietnamese. He was held from 1967 to 1973, experiencing episodes of torture and refusing an out-of-sequence early repatriation offer; his war wounds would leave him with lifelong physical limitations. John McCain’s capture and imprisonment began in October 1967. He was flying his twenty-third bombing mission over North Vietnam, when his A-4E Skyhawk was shot down by a missile over Hanoi McCain fractured both arms and a leg, and then nearly drowned, when he parachuted into Trúc Bạch Lake in Hanoi. After he regained consciousness, a crowd attacked him, crushed his shoulder with a rifle butt, and bayoneted him. Lieutenant Commander McCain was then transported to Hanoi’s main Hoa Lo Prison, nicknamed the “Hanoi Hilton”.
McCain being pulled from Truc Bach Lake in Hanoi and becoming a POW on October 26, 1967.Although McCain was badly wounded, his captors refused to treat his injuries, instead beating and interrogating him to get information, and he was given medical care only when the North Vietnamese discovered that his father was a top admiral. His status as a prisoner of war (POW) made the front pages of major newspapers.
McCain spent six weeks in the hospital while receiving marginal care. Now having lost 50 pounds (23 kg), in a chest cast, and with his hair turned white, McCain was sent to a different camp on the outskirts of Hanoi in December 1967, into a cell with two other Americans who did not expect him to live a week. In March 1968, McCain was put into solitary confinement, where he would remain for two years.
In mid-1968, McCain’s father was named commander of all U.S. forces in the Vietnam theater, and McCain was offered early release. The North Vietnamese made that offer because they wanted to appear merciful for propaganda purposes, and also wanted to show other POWs that elites like McCain were willing to be treated preferentially. McCain turned down the offer of repatriation; he would only accept the offer if every man taken in before him was released as well.
In August 1968, a program of severe torture began on McCain. He was subjected to rope bindings and repeated beatings every two hours, at the same time as he was suffering from dysentery. Further injuries led to the beginning of a suicide attempt, which was stopped by guards. After four days, McCain made an anti-American propaganda “confession”. He has always felt that his statement was dishonorable, but as he would later write, “I had learned what we all learned over there: Every man has his breaking point. I had reached mine.” His injuries left him permanently incapable of raising his arms above his head. He subsequently received two to three beatings per week because of his continued refusal to sign additional statements. Still sound like a very privileged life to you?
Everyone has the right to be old, but he abuses the privilege.
As opposed to Barack Obama who’s mothers family had money and he went to privite schools his entire life without ever having to give up or sacrifice one thing, EVER.
I can see the comparisons, yeah right.
He’s so old, his high school science project was “fire”.
He’s so old he has a first edition copy of the Ten Commandments.
(OK, I got the first one from a Two and a Half Men episode. Can’t remember where I got the second one)
He’s so old, Sophocles once cast him as “The Cranky Old Codger.”
