Chuck Norris Says He's for Huckabee Because McCain Is Too Old, Would Die in Office

Chuck Norris, star of stage and screed, has said the main reason he decided to have he and his beard support Mike Huckabee for the GOP Presidential nomination was out of fear that John McCain would die in office if elected.

"If John (McCain) 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. "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."

The pronouncement comes as a shock to many, as most believed that Norris supports Huckabee due to the fact that both are religious fanatics hellbent on making the U.S. a radical Christian theocracy. Norris, 67, is known for his karate career, his starring role on "Walker, Texas Ranger," and the "Chuck Norris Facts" that swept over the Internet.

Currently, he is best known for his support of the Huckabee campaign and for the fact that he is completely oblivious that he's a total laughingstock.
