Does John McCain suffer from Senile Dementia?

excerpt:

And here is just a personal vignette of an experience I and my psychologist buddy had with the Republican probable nominee, Senator McCain. He came here, as you might know, to “inspect the situation.” Jesus, what a farce! There he was, walking around a marketplace with more armed guards than Bush has, and wearing a huge bullet-proof vest. Anyway, after he “inspected” the market, he came to the Green Zone for some rigged conference with the lying generals. My buddy and I were going to visit another friend when we saw guards, etc, in front of a rec room door. Curious, we went into another unguarded room, opened several doors and guess what?

<snip>

He looked up and smiled. My wife’s grandfather did just that. And the Senator may have been sitting right near us but believe me, he was somewhere else. Then he began a conversation with someone who wasn’t there and my friend took my arm and said, “I think we should get the hell out of here,” and we started to go back the way we came when some civilian came in.

“It’s time to go to the meeting, John,” but McCain just smiled and kept on talking to the table. The civilian said, “All right, gentlemen, time to go. The Senator is very tired and has jet lag.” And when we left, the Senator was talking complete nonsense.

Later, one of the staff personnel told both of us that the Senator had “a little accident” and he had to change his pants. Jesus H. Christ! This nut is going to be a President? My friend, who is a pro, said he was very obviously suffering from pre-Alzheimer’s and believe me, although I am not trained, this one was a pure space case. They must know this. I guess they give him a shot of something before he gets out in public but if you saw him with a vacant stare, talking to himself, you would not have to be a professional shrink to know that putting this pathetic man into the Oval Office would be a worse mistake than putting Bush in. At least as far as we know, Bush doesn’t talk to the walls and wet himself.

1. No. He was already insane in the membrane long ago.

2. Possible. Or it could be a case of Citizenship Atrophy, an affliction that

runs prevalent in people who allow the broader gestures of national life to become distorted and disproportional to actual day-to-day human needs.

McCain exhibits a lot of those symptoms.

One effective treatment is a landslide turnout by Democrats in November.

4. When Reagan was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome I'm sure there

were neurologists out there thinking, "Common misdiagnosis for early onset Alzheimer's."

McCain is getting to that age where this becomes a legitimate concern. We don't need another president whose diminished capacity leads him to think he can shoot down shit with laser beams from space.

6. The way Nancy used to cue Reagan reminds be of Lieberbush

standing behind McCain telling him what to say.

7. Yep.

9. Real concern, McCain already is known for having a violent temper. Add to that dementia

which can express itself as angry outbursts...

5. Nothing wrong with senile anything...Reagan had it and he is Obama's hero...nt

[KittyWampus]

8. Obama never said anything remotely akin to Reagan being his hero.

10. Scary if true.

Everything about McCain terrifies me. He has no idea what to think about anything.
