Holland is just another liberal hack whose zeal for All Things Democratic Party clouds his judgement. Hey Steve, when you set out to write news articles, um, try acually writing news articles instead of turning the "news" into your personal op/ed page. Try being a little more objective; your focus on McCain's bandaid and on his age are thinly veiled attempts on your part to discourage voters from voting for him. Unfortunately for you and for Reuters, I'm going to vote for McCain. In fact, I'd probably vote for any candidate nominated by the Republican Party just to piss you off, and of course to do my part to keep Karl Obama (I'm sure you get the reference, Stevie) from becoming President.

It's certainly possible the story is a cover-up (pun intended). I'd have to see some 'before and after' pics before I decide if I care what McCain has under the bandaid.

Let’s actually think about it rather than just consume the story. Have any of you bumped your head getting out of a car? Other than the soft ceiling liner, there’s the cushy rubber weather stripping at the edge. Now, if you were looking straight up (and I mean straight up) just as you stepped out of a car, and then you fell backward toward the car, then it might be possible to hit the dull, wrapped end of the steel body. But you would get a bruise and a few foul utterings out of it, not a cut. And how would you get TWO cuts—would you do it twice?

Actually, John McCain secretly donated brain tissue to his good friend and fellow illegal alien rights activist Ted Kennedy. Senator Kennedy's doctors hope that the brain tissue transplant will help the 76 year old Senator Kennedy fight a malignant brain tumor. McCain was just being modest.
