McCain Makes Age Jokes On ‘SNL’
Sunday, May 18, 2008
WA****NGTON — John McCain is 71 years old, and his age has provided
late-night comics with some easy punch lines. On “Saturday Night
Live,” he joined in.
“I ask you, what should we be looking for in our next president?”
McCain said. “Certainly, someone who is very, very, very old.”
The certain Republican presidential nominee 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 im****tantly,
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.”
Later, during the program’s “Weekend Update” segment, McCain urged
Democrats not to rush to choose between Hillary Rodham Clinton and
Barack Obama.
When McCain hosted “SNL” in 2002, he performed a medley of Barbra
Streisand songs. In an interview earlier Saturday, Glamour magazine
asked if he would be singing again.
“I think once is enough,” McCain responded.
