Does John McCain suffer from Senile Dementia?

www.tbrnews.org...

And here is just a personal vignette of an experience I and my psychologist buddy had with the Republican probable nominee, Senator McCain. He came here, as you might know, to “inspect the situation.” Jesus, what a farce! There he was, walking around a marketplace with more armed guards than Bush has, and wearing a huge bullet-proof vest. Anyway, after he “inspected” the market, he came to the Green Zone for some rigged conference with the lying generals. My buddy and I were going to visit another friend when we saw guards, etc, in front of a rec room door. Curious, we went into another unguarded room, opened several doors and guess what? There was the Senator all by himself, sitting on a folding chair by a card table. We were a little awed so I said ‘Hello, Senator. Sorry to bother you.” He looked at us like we were cows and kept blinking. Finally, he smiled and said, ‘Hey, there, soldiers! How is it going? Is it going good?” and my friend the shrink said, “Why yes, Senator. Everything is great!” And McCain smiled at nothing and looked around the room.

“Well…I’m glad to hear it. You are the General?” And I said, a little sarcastically, “Why no, Senator, not quite yet.” And he looked at me like I was a sheep or something, smiling s silly smile. “Oh” he said to the table, “Let’s hope it gets a little cooler here. Have you been here long?” My friend said, “Too long Senator.” “Why that’s good, General,” the Senator replied to the ceiling. Then his lips moved but he said nothing. He looked up and smiled. My wife’s grandfather did just that. And the Senator may have been sitting right near us but believe me, he was somewhere else. Then he began a conversation with someone who wasn’t there and my friend took my arm and said, “I think we should get the hell out of here,” and we started to go back the way we came when some civilian came in. “It’s time to go to the meeting, John,” but McCain just smiled and kept on talking to the table. The civilian said, “All right, gentlemen, time to go. The Senator is very tired and has jet lag.” And when we left, the Senator was talking complete nonsense. Later, one of the staff personnel told both of us that the Senator had “a little accident” and he had to change his pants.

Does anyone have any information on whether this incident has been verified?
It's a rather disturbing incident, IF it did occur. Or is it just another "dirty trick" anonymous smear by Hillary or Obama?

If Sen. McCain is senile demented, then he isn't displaying any overt symptoms on the champagne trail. In fact he seems pretty sharp, except for being ideologically challenged, then it is just more McSame.

I'm doubting the validity of that story. Some how or other, it would have manifested itself on the campaign trail by now, or on the floor of the Senate.

Kind of suspicious, IMHO.

I don't find it suspicious at all, in fact, I and many others knew this was coming.

You can guarantee it will get worse when the general election begins too. Either or Obama or Clinton will use McCain's age as a big "negative" in their attacks. They will accuse him of being too old, to senile, to forgetful, to slow and many other things.

Typical left wing attacks.
