Norris: McCain may be too old for the White House
Posted: 03:06 PM ET

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Chuck Norris brought his tough-guy approach to the campaign trail Sunday, taking aim at John McCain's age and suggesting the Arizona senator might not last even a single term.

Norris, an ardent supporter of Mike Huckabee, told reporters he believes serving as president accelerates the aging process 3-to-1.

"If John takes over the presidency at 72 and he ages 3-to-1, how old will he be in four years? Eighty-four years old — and can he handle that kind of pressure in that job?" Norris said, as Huckabee looked on.

"That's why I didn't pick John to support, because I'm just afraid the vice president will wind up taking over his job within that four-year presidency," added the action star.

Huckabee himself avoided offering his own opinion on whether McCain is fit for the presidency, saying "Only John McCain and his hair dresser know for sure."

Norris, who has been at Huckabee's side for weeks as the former Arkansas governor campaigns for the presidency, is hosting a fundraiser for the Republican White House hopeful at his Texas ranch Sunday.

3. Isn't Chuck Norris 100?

That movie he did with Bruce Lee came out before I was even born.

6. If he really wants to help Huck,

he should point out that he has promised the VP slot to Stephen Colbert.

7. McCain's mother is like 100 and still alive and campaignging for him

11. McCain's mom

I will never forget her rant against Mormons with her son sitting at her side. Hilarious!

In reality, however, Chuckie is onto something. McCain would have a difficult time serving a term, if miraculously elected.

8. Even if he's got a point, it's a dumb thing to say.

Huckabee's campaign has turned into the biggest sewer.
