What's Up With McCain's Eye - A Stroke?

Share |

I just noticed something in the past week and now several readers have that mentioned it too. Something is wrong with McCain's left eye. Anybody else notice anything? I just searched Google a bit more and found references to his eye being droopy in April and May of this year as well. But whatever it is, it seems to be intermittent. (McCain has had several bouts with melanoma, and did have a benign growth removed just recently.

I decided to take a look at McCain's economic speech that he gave last Friday in Wisconsin, and tried to see what it was that people are noticing wrong with McCain's left eye. It was only a 15 second video, so I pulled it up in my iMovie movie editor and checked out each frame (see a selection of still shots above). What you see is apparently McCain's left eye more closed than this right, and/or when he blinks, his left eye is lazier, or blinks slightly out of phase with his right. Either way, it does look like something's up. Perhaps McCain has a bad left eye, though it's odd that so many people just noticed this week.

Actually, there's one more thing. A reader wrote me about a week ago, commenting on how suddenly McCain's make up had changed. As though the campaign was suddenly trying to hide something. I read the email, kind of shrugged, and went on my way. Well, today that reader wrote back and noted the story that came out earlier today about McCain's apparently new $5000 make-up artist. Isn't that interesting - suddenly when everyone is noticing something wrong, something changed, with McCain's face, he hires a $5000 make-up artist, and she now seems to be attached at his hip.

Last night after everyone left the office, Chico Brisbane stopped by my desk to empty the trash as he does every night and he didn't hesitate to offer an opinion. Chico thinks that McCain is on the verge of a storke and after googling some of the symptoms of a stroke, it's a great likelyhood that Chico might be on to something. Chico also thinks that McCains new "make-up" artists may have been hired to conceal new melanoma's and I agree with that too. Since Chico is write so often, it's no wonder why we have named our blog after our prognosticating janitor.
