Congressman Murtha should know better than to pick on someone for their age. This week the 75 year Pennsylvania Democrat and Clinton supporter said being president "is no old man's job," refering to John McCain's White House run . According to Murtha, it's also too much stress for a man McCain's age. Tell that to AARP.

When I heard Murtha's criticism, I wondered what the folks at AARP would say so I gave them a call.

Ouch, take a look.....

"We judge people on their ability, not their age, race or gender. We don't agree with Chairman Murtha's assessment any more than we would agree if someone accused the Chairman of being too old to control the federal funding of our armed forces at a time when our nation is at war - certainly no slouch job, either.

This election has thrown out all the traditional stereotypes. Voters don't seem to care about race, age or gender, but about voting for the candidate that will address health care and financial security issues."
