Elder statesman John McCain is 71 years old, and his age isn't hindering his sense of humor, as witnessed on last night's "Saturday Night Live."
He knows he's old, and he's okay with it.
"I ask you, what should we be looking for in our next president?" McCain said. "Certainly, someone who is very, very, very old."
McCain appeared in a phony campaign ad in which he promised to put an end to runaway government spending, claiming he had never sought money for his home state, Arizona.
"Controlling government spending isn't just about Republicans or Democrats," he said. "It's about being able to look your children in the eye. Or in my case, my children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren and great-great-great-grandchildren, the youngest of whom are nearing retirement."
"I have the courage, the wisdom, the experience and, most importantly, the oldness necessary," McCain said. "The oldness it takes to protect America, to honor her, love her and tell her about what cute things the cat did."
It was during the "Weekend Update" segment that McCain urged Democrats not to rush to choose between Hillary and Barack.

This is where McCain belongs, not in the White House.
