Watching CNN and saw Senator John Warner helping John McCain up to the stage.

McCain looked kind of feeble as he was walking up the stairs. I was just wondering what type of health John McCain is in.

[MADem]

1. He cannot lift his arms higher than his shoulders

He was hanged by them, tied behind his back, for hours on end. He's got nerve damage here and there--arms and legs.


I just cannot fathom the guy's attitude towards torture, given what he went through.

3. I didn't realize he couldn't walk up stairs by himself

due to his injuries. Very sad.

2. he's old and frequently frail

but cut him some slack. he WAS a POW.

In the Spanish American War, wasn't it?

4. Ouch!

totally tasteless...but pretty freakin funny! :rofl:

5. Warner is nine years older than McCain.

Warner born 1927, McCain 1936. Of course the POW treatment left McCain in bad shape.
