Happy 72nd Birthday, John McCain!

Slate mischeviously suggests that McCain's timing in announcing his veep today (chatter I'm hearing says Mittens* despite the fake-outs) might have the "side benefit" of "taking attention away from the fact that McCain turns 72 today."

*Scratch that - sounds like Palin's the pick. I'll grudgingly admit that's a good choice for McCain: a play to angry PUMAs without selling out the pro-life voters, hard for Biden to rough up in a debate (as Ambinder points out)... not exactly an intellectual heavyweight, but since it ruffles my feathers when that charge is leveled at my favorite Senator, I'll bite my tongue for the time being.
