What is this ageism all the time. It is downright ugly.
Ageism is just as bad as any other ism.

reminds me all the time when I hear some young whippersnapper fires someone over 45 and hires a tween for the same job just so they don't have to pay benefits.

BTW, this same "too old"blah blah blah is the reason the John Edwards fans in 2004 got John Edwards the VP(and we all know that was the single worst choice ever for VP.
Sarah was just way over her head, and Quayle had a specific reason 41 picked him.
(and neither campaigned for the job, it was out of the blue for each of them).

But the deviousness of Edwards, cold and calculating, was just the worst, and should never be repeated as he avidly campaigned for it in 2004(then tried to coral a position in 2008).
horror.

Should have been Senator/Gov. Bob Graham in 2000 and 2004.
but they said he was too old, too ill, too obsessive with his diaries(at just the time Cheney had no diaries, or logs released at all).

imho. feel free to disagree with it.
