Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) snidely responded to a high school student who challenged whether he was too old and too conservative to be president. McCain jokingly referred to the questioner as “a little jerk” who ought to be drafted: McCain, the Arizona senator whose presidential bid has stumbled through the summer, countered the Concord High School students with humor. “Thanks for the question, you little jerk,” McCain joked back to one student who asked the 71-year-old about his age. “You’re drafted.” McCain calls high school student a ‘little jerk.’

An unflinching John McCain was told Tuesday by New Hampshire high school students he might be too old to be president and too conservative to be respected.

Okay, so McCain calls a teen 'jerk' and the fat woman on CNN says it's great. Jerry Lewis says 'faggot' to no one in particular and they're all having seizures.

McCain should have asked the little f***** if he could find Arizona on a map. Now that would have been funny. The joke's on the student...he will be in Iran after he graduates.
Interesting and good observation by the student: ``I came here looking to see a good leader,'' 16-year-old William Sleaster told McCain to boos. ``I don't.''
I heard the byte on the teevee. There was no word of the 'conservative'. The guy asked McCain if, at 71, he wasn't too old to run for president because he could die in office or get Alzheimer's. Then, the jerk grabbed the mike and, after some 'blah, blah, blah' called him 'jerk'.

This is so stupid I'm almost at a loss for words....almost. The man is 81 years old for fuck sake, and he's raised probably over a billion dollars to help sick kids! If he wants to call someone a name after being on the air for 18 hours, more power to him. The old fart better not pull an Imus and apologize, either. It's not like he's expecting the public to trust him with the nuclear launch codes.

Better him, than smirk.
