Norris: McCain Too Old to be PresidentAssociated Press | January 21, 2008
NAVASOTA, Texas - Campaigning for Mike Huckabee, actor Chuck Norris said Jan. 20 that Sen. John McCain is too old to handle the pressures of being president.
"I didn't pick John to support because I'm just afraid that the vice president would wind up taking over his job in that four-year presidency," said Norris, an Air Force veteran who was hosting a fundraiser for Huckabee at his Lone Wolf Ranch.
"So we need to find someone that can handle it for four years or eight years ... that has the youth and vision and communication skills to make that work." Norris, 67, is four years younger than McCain, a former Navy pilot and POW in North Vietnam who will be 72 in August.
Huckabee will be 52 in August.
The former Arkansas governor, coming off a disappointing second-place finish in the South Carolina GOP primary to McCain, distanced himself from Norris' comments.
