Earlier this year, Hillary Clinton supporters were dismayed to learn that aging Hollywood star Harrison Ford is apparently unable to perform a relatively simple task (acting) without injuring himself. The 71-year-old Ford, who played the President of the United States in "Air Force One," broke his leg on the set of the new "Star Wars" film, raising serious question about Hillary Clinton’s fitness to serve in the White House.

If elected, Clinton would be 69 by the time she took office, which would make her younger than Ford, but older than ZZ Top bassist Dusty Hill, 65, who recently injured his hip in a fall on the band’s tour bus. The bearded rock legends had expected to miss only a few tour dates as a result of the injury, but due to Hill’s advanced age, he has taken longer than expected to recover, and the band was forced to postpone almost 30 concerts scheduled between now and November.

A Free Beacon analysis has concluded that a tour bus is very similar, if not identical, to the type of vehicle politicians typically travel in during presidential campaigns. If Dusty Hill is unable to ride on a bus without injuring himself, how confident should we be that Hillary, who is even older, will be able to do so? Barring an unforeseen advancement in exoskeleton technology, the answer is: not very confident.
