<crickets chirping as everyone thinks, "WTF is he talking about?">

Actually, I say give the guy a break. Campaigning like this must be gruelling.

Signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s

When Alzheimer's disease begins to destroy brain cells, no outward symptoms are evident. After a while, small memory lapses appear and grow more serious. The afflicted individual may forget the names of familiar people or places, the words to express what they want to say, or the location of everyday objects.

As the memory lapses of early Alzheimer’s become more serious, other cognitive deficits and behavior problems develop:

Typical signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease
…General confusion, disorientation to date, time or place
…Apathy, irritability, depression, anxiety
…Problems with language, math, abstract thinking, and judgment
…Personality changes with strange quirks or inappropriate behaviors
…Wandering, hiding objects, problems with eating and sleeping
…Late in the disease, paranoia and delusions may occur
…Toward the end, total loss of self, and inability to control bodily functions

@Debra Law,

Now you're a doctor?

Stick to subjects you know.

@Debra Law,

I don't think there's any way I'd get through a campaign like this -- with video cameras recording my every move -- without making some stupid mistakes.

And I don't have Alzheimer's.

I'm pretty sure anyway.

@sozobe,

I've said some time ago that McCain was senile. I'm not sure what more evidence people need to come to their own conclusion.

@cicerone imposter,

He certainly is senile, cicerone, but the "prisoner" was a Freudian slip. It can
happen to anyone of us, especially when talking about the responsible parties
in the bank and Wall Street crisis.

Plus he was a POW, you know? Wink

He must have pontificated a lot to his fellow prisoners.

@CalamityJane,

That being said, we can almost laugh it off, but with his temper and need to negotiate across the table and with foreign leaders, "that" is not good.

@cicerone imposter,

I believe it was farmerman who called McCain "uncle Fester" and I think that's
such an appropriate name for him Laughing
