Oh, but don't take my word for it, or even Jack Cafferty's word for it (like you would!) Here's John McCain, circa 2000:
Keith Richards
Pat Buchanan
Dick Cheney

Hard to believe that anyone is older than Keith Richards - he looks like he invented God.
Hi Betsy — has your extended family begun to arrive yet?

The states of Alaska and Hawaii
Hello, dearie! You youngster, you!
All but one of my living family members are younger than McCain. And the one who’s older —- wouldn’t trust her to run the country either.
WWII
is granma younger than McCain?
Xerox?
We B fine, Teddy. It’s two years ago this coming weekend since the first YKos. DaddyB. always asks to be remembered to you. You?
And my neo-con twin brother!
Grandma’s under 70. Grandpa’s same age as McCain.
McCain is older than most of my antique furniture!
Teddie! Dirt is younger than McCain. When he was young there was only slime.
Older than Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging
Quit thinkin’ M.A.S.H.
Color TV
And tho my 90 year old father is older, he’s way more rational, logical and humane!
Great, thank you.
Wanted to give huge props for your hosting David Sirota’s Salon today - your introduction was a terrific glimpse into the book, persuaded me to order it.
Very nicely done.
OMG! Do you think either will survive the encounter?
Now that’s funny!
NATO
The UN
The Warsaw Pact
Red China
Pakistan
And that’s funnier!
Actually all living members of my father’s family are younger than McCain, since I am the oldest of that line.
Everything ‘cept dirt
All of the jet aircraft that McCain crashed
Lake Powell is younger than Grumpa McCain.
Shhhh! Cassie is the better driver.
FM radio
That just adds to the peril.
My contempt for Traitor Joe Lieberman knows no time. It is neither younger or older than Johnny Panama. It is eternal.
Some of my favorites:
Post It notes
Zip lock bags
White Out
The Internets (AKA — toobz)
Copiers (anyone remember carbon papers, copysettes, mimeo machines….ach, it was hard to be a teacher in those days — and that was still younger than McShame
Wow….he’s old!
My antique furniture is about 1910! Call it arts and crafts, or, as we like to say, early doctor’s office…
LOL.
Lake Powell dry lake bed coming soon.
Thank you!
It is a remarkable book — I hope folks understood when I said that I learned something on literally every page that I consider that extraordinary, as incredibly well-informed and au courant as I am! *g*
I was pleased to be asked to write the intro. The book arrived Tuesday, and it’s consumed me since.
Read it and tell your friends. And visit David often!
Hell, transistor radios!
Danny!

The Celtic-Laker Rivalry…!

Did anyone say The Pentagon?
I went through undergrad on gallons of whiteout.
radar
You did!
Also — the Jefferson Memorial.
Interstate highways
Medicare
(although I think Social Security beat McCain by a year or two)
oops - just saw 37. My bad, SD.
older than frozen orange juice concentrate
Hi Chris, Teddy, Betsy, all.
He’s older than hair spray and hair plugs.
Not, BTW, that old is perjorative. Like I said, my dad is older than McCain and I’m creeping (racing?) up. But I can think young. McCain got stuck in those bad years, I fear. Bless him, but bless us, too. No more crap!
Really?! Now, that’s old.
Although…. a monthly Social Security payment first happened in 1940.
So there’s that.
It might be helpful to know that McCain began growing older on August 29, 1936
nylons
Depends Undergarmets.
Things change, huh?
Neoconservatism
Gotta check with the Studebaker dealer, but I think they’ve gone up….
Hi Teddy Partridge!
Well, you’ve tempted me out of the woodwork, and I thought of a familiar and grease-spattered volume…. but, it’s really a close call.
~~The Joy of Cooking is one of the United States’ most-published cookbooks, having been in print continuously since 1936 and with more than 18 million copies sold.~~
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Joy_of_Cooking
I await your perspicacious call on that one- McCain, or The Joy of Cooking?
Dana Peroxide
Modern medicine?
(depending on how you define it)
There’s nothing “modern” about McCain
Margot, my dear! Hiya!
The atom bomb
The hydrogen bomb
Napalm
Depleted uranium ordnance
Hey! Let’s not blame Panama for McCane.
And a return to the idea of real food and decent nutritian. Jeez, I grew up on beans&weanies, canned pineapple rings with cottage cheese and a marachino cherry, meat (when we had it) cooked to shoe leather, canned and canned and more canned. It’s just a marvel to go to a farmers market and buy fresh and good. And… I grew up in the Santa Clara Valley where food should have been fresh (and was.) Some old things are NOT worth preserving…and that includes aged out politicians.

Hey VG, nice woodwork de-lurking. I vote for the ‘62 version - so, McCain is older than the Joy of Cooking.
Some of these are mind-boggling.
Hello, VG!
I think we have to give that one to JoC, since its first publication (privately) was 1931.
But there is Womans Day magazine, as we’re focused on the domestic arts category!
North Korea
South Korea

North and South Dakota too?
Joan Rivers!

oooops! Was going to say older than dirt but hit submit first, then Dr Dick said it better. Since i am currently interested in Texas geology i’ll say McCain is older than the Balcones Escarpment
Now that Scottie McGellin’s got a book out, I was wondering the other night what Dana Purinachow’s book will be titled. Couldn’t decide between:
“Oh. My. Gawd. Working at the White House is SOOOO Kewl!!!!!”
or
“Pigs, Missles, and Apple Pie”
older than a California antique.
Kirk, you win…
love, Chris
Hi Teddy!
Yes! And, I see you read the wiki link! ;) As I did. ;)
Now what I need to know is are “congealed salads” older or younger than McCain? ;)
Other things younger than McLame:
TV
CD
IRA
401(k)
automatic dishwashers (yea!)
disposable cameras (what an idea)
sliding screen doors (if you don’t have ‘em, you don’t know what you’re missing!)
computers so we can communicate with each other. (Does McLame compute?)
Keep it coming.
He is God’s older second cousin.

Did you know it’s more than 1000 days since Hurricane Katrina hit?
Let’s hit it!
You know, if McCain gets elected and serves two terms (shudder)… his predecessor in the Oval Office will be younger when McCain leaves office than McCain was when he started the Presidency, and so will his predecessor’s predecessor!
Both of whom served two terms.
No, sorry, Betsy. Both 1889.
But McCain sure gave them a run for the money…
But he’s younger than me. “sniff”
The states of Alaska and Hawaii.
Bill Monroe, for crying out loud.
The state of war with North Korea.
And Eastasia
and he’s definitely older than the Balcones Fault
707. ROFLMAO. As the tigers scatter for parts unknown.
The NUCLEAR bomb.
A thousand days of crapola from the craphead elite bullshitters who have succeeded in killing one city in this country and one country in the middle east. I may have to go back on my meds.
my apologies
And now I’m so late trying to catch up. Carry on!
The current Life magazine
Keith Richards?? I dunno about that, Teddy. Did anybody fact check that one?
Great list. Can’t add to it at te moment. But it got me thinking… Lemme check something.
The Islamic Republic of Iran
(note, I’m being precise here)
Bomb bomb bomb…
love to you chris - and to me it’s not a competition: it’s a collaboration.
Glad to be playing with you.
Teddy, how did you come to change your handle, if you care to explain?
no apology necessary.
Not only that, McCain is also older than Morgan Freeman, who apparently is God.
