For heaven's sake, McCain's alleged "incident" took place in 1967, 40 years ago - when McCain was 31 years old. To use that as any sort of basis for judgment, is as absurd as using Kerry's 35-yr-old Vietnam record in 2004. Certainly, those admirable service records gave them an advantage in their careers and helped to place them in privileged positions, but what have they done with those advantages in the last ten or twenty years? Are you going to get all upset if they smoked marijuana forty years ago? Want to question their marriages and divorces? How is that pertinent to their ability to serve their country as President in 2009, such a long time later?
