In her new memoir A Swim-On Part In The Goldfish Bowl: A Memoir, Carol Thatcher revealed her mother Margaret Thatcher started showing signs of dementia in 2000, at the age of 75.

"I almost fell off my chair," wrote Thatcher, a journalist and television personality. "Watching her struggle with her words and her memory, I couldn't believe it. She was in her 75th year but I had always thought of her as ageless, timeless and 100 per cent cast-iron damage-proof. From the fateful day of our lunch, tell-tale signs that something wasn't quite right began to emerge."

John McCain turns 72 on Friday. Like Thatcher, he wants us to think of him as "ageless, timeless and 100 per cent cast-iron damage-proof." Sadly, no one is - not Thatcher, not Reagan, and not John McCain.

It is very hard to watch your parent slowly slip away. My sympathy to Carol Thatcher.

McCain is showing signs of having some of the memory problems associated with age. The stress of being POTUS would take a terrible toll on him. It is one of the reasons I hope he doesn't win in November. It was scary to watch Reagan during the last two years of his presidency and the world is a far more danger place today than during Reagan's era.
