There is an article in the National Journal which is so completely ridiculous that I couldn't NOT say something about it. The title? "Why You Can't Compare Hillary Clinton's Age To Ronald Reagan's."
I'm serious. That's the title. Stephanie Stamm and Patrick Reis are the authors, and they are clearly very concerned that people are going to compare Hillary Clinton's age to Ronald Reagan's age, so by golly they decided to prove to the American public with charts and graphs and arguments that YOU SHOULDN'T COMPARE THEIR AGES, you mean age-comparing people.
The subtitle reads, all defensive-like, "Yes, she'd be the age he was upon taking office. But no, that's not relevant."
Steph and Pat are under the impression that this age comparison is "often made when Clinton's critics and allies debate whether she has the health to serve out two presidential terms." I question the "often" thing, but that's neither here nor there. The point is, Steph and Pat want you to rest assured, clever and competent readers, that Hillary's life expectancy is ALL KINDS OF OLD.
