Listen to this audio clip and you tell me if Mike Castle doesn’t sound a little stroke addled.
I only heard part of his chat with Allan Loudell this afternoon, but he sounded pretty lost in space until Loudell asked him about running against Joe Biden. Then he seemed to perk up a bit.
Granted, some of that hemming and hawing as well as many of the uhhmms…and long pauses could be chalked up to the fact that Castle’s views on Iraq are vaporous and don’t translate well into English. But some of that sounds like a stroke patient to me.
Note: Mike Castle is 68. His health is a legitimate issue this cycle. However, I think the are biggest legitimate issue of this campaign is that Castle has supported George Bush for six years on Iraq – and now he is lying about it.
