From Poynter Online:

Bill Shapiro writes to Romenesko: I’m the former managing editor of LIFE (the newspaper supplement version). After The Speech last night, I couldn’t help recall our third cover featuring McCain and…. Take a peek. I think you’ll find it very fun and rather prescient. When we shot this photo for the third cover of LIFE (the newspaper supplement version) back in September of 2004, we never dreamed we’d actually see it play out….or even anything this close.

Read the whole thing here.

* Except for John McCain. He’s just old, and will remain so until he’s dead. I look forward to President Palin’s nation-unifying eulogy.

Senator Fucknuts McGoo probably thinks Tina Fey is his running mate.

#1, vaguely, except in BG Roslin is more of a puppet president while Adama actually has all the true power... more like Bush/Cheney.

guys, you are a little behind on the whole Tigh/Roslin McCain/Palin thing.

They already have their own campaign site:

He's not that old.

My dad, who was something like 10 when his father the Air Force Colonel was stationed in Brazil, says that John McCain, short and old as he is, is younger than him.

Admittedly, he was like 4 or 5 when my dad was there, and they didn't like to visit Panama much, cause all the Navy brats were all hoity toity back then.

So he's not that old.

Just older than Reagan when he developed full-blown Alzheimer's, that's all.

I see McCain more as a Baltar figure, myself.
