Is John McCain So Old That He’s, In Fact, Dangerously Old?

I’ve hesitated to call John McCain out on his age, because I don’t like to be age-ist.  I never like to say that a person can’t do something.  But after some recent evidence, I’m beginning to think that there’s certainly something to be said about higher cognitive functioning and what happens to the human brain after we reach our mid-70’s.
