Well, it's as truism that over the centuries aging general types are never on the front lines and the life and death part of the war (not cocktails in tents -- or in one of the Cheney or McCain mansions), are always fought by potent and vital young men.
Ah, sweet compensation! Quoth the old guys who always start and make fortunes in their contrived money cow wars, "I may not be able to rise to the occasion with the ladies, but (snicker, snicker) I can sure as hell send those smart ass kids out in truckloads to be massacred -- and isn't that some kind of potency? At least I'm still here in my mansion; while those throw away bodies are rotting in the mud. So who has the last laugh after all?"
Let's face it; this is a matter that has haunted the human race for centuries. The sadistic seniors (especially the one's who have TOTALLY "past their prime") are always trying to find ways to symbolically "compensate" for their loss of health, youth, and potency.
Of course, war isn't the only manifestation of this; it's all over the place in institutional religions. Those geezers in gowns who have status can be creatively sadistic (in the name of God, of course) when it comes to manipulating the newbie’s. Frequently, it's the last gasp of sexual behavior, but more commonly it’s that hateful compensation thing again.
But back to the Republicans and the ultimate power figures in their party, e.g., McCain, Rove, Cheney, etc.
Is it really so implausible that Dick Cheney went WAY over the edge into dementia several years ago? And this is the guy who is the veritable God of America? Hey, could be that he drools and "soils himself" -- what do we know? What we DO know is that they keep him more hidden than Frankenstein. Hell, maybe he IS Frankenstein.
When he does appear in public, perhaps if we looked very closely we'd see a network of wires which move him around and keep him sitting, or standing, etc.
Anyway, many thanks to John McCain for reminding us that the United States of America is under the absolute control of a handful of very elderly men who are AT LEAST TWO GENERATIONS away from the burgeoning reality of American society.
