Chuck Norris, aging actor, says John McCain is too old



Now we know who Mike Huckabee is really worried about competing against for the Republican nomination. Sunday the genial winner of the Iowa Republican caucuses sent his kickboxing attack dog Chuck Norris out to go after Sen. John McCain. McCain, who's been given up for dead a couple of times in his life, the latest one politically, is riding high this morning heading into the closing campaign days for the Florida primary after his Saturday victory over Huckabee in South Carolina and his win before that in New Hampshire. It seems McCain and the struggling Fred Thompson siphoned off enough of Pastor Huckabee's expected evangelical votes to deny him victory in the Palmetto state, despite Huckabee dredging up the old Confederate flag issue.

Chuck is the noted late-night TV gym equipment salesman and arguably is -- well, maybe not arguably -- one of the worst actors since the Greeks invented drama. Although he does appear to throw a good grenade and spray a blazing machine-gun.

But Norris has endorsed the 52-year-old former Arkansas governor for the GOP nod and, since acting jobs are apparently scarce nowadays, seems to spend just about every waking moment about a foot or two behind Huckabee's shoulder, grinning, for virtually every photograph at virtually every campaign stop. Presumably, the Arkansan believes such celebrity will help attract votes.

On Sunday Norris hosted a fundraising barbecue for Huckabee at the weightlifter's Texas spread, the Lone Wolf Ranch, near Navasota, Texas. He made a point of telling reporters he was concerned about McCain's health and age, which is very kind and thoughtful but may have also had a political point. Surrogates for presidential candidates, including Bill Clinton, rarely say anything unplanned.
