Maybe it's time we asked this question: "Who is the real John McCain?" BooMan has one answer:
John McCain fancies himself a hero because he was a terrible pilot that ruined four incredibly expensive airplanes and got himself captured. That's not courage in my book. That's reckless incompetence. I know he suffered terribly for his incompetence, and I'm sorry about that. But the old codger hasn't learned a damn thing from his experiences and he's afraid to be a man and level his accusations to Obama's face. He knows Obama is the better man. And John McCain is afraid. All bullies are ultimately, deep-down, afraid. McCain is no different. He's spent his whole life mistreating people and we're supposed to respect the fact that he was mistreated? I don't respect John McCain. I don't think anyone who knows him well really respects him either. What is there to respect? Show me one thing about John McCain that I can respect? That he
graduated third from the bottom at the Naval Academy? That he used a fellow cadet to take the fall so he wouldn't be kicked out for having too many demerits? That he crashed three planes? That he flew too low and got shot down in a fourth? That he broke under torture and denounced his country? That he followed orders and refused early release? That he dumped his disabled wife for a beauty queen? That he used his beauty queen's money to buy a congressional seat and immediately went about soiling the institution with his corruption? That he voted against Martin Luther King Day? That he voted to impeach a president for getting a blow job? That he was one of the first members of the Senate to advocate invading Iraq? That he couldn't denounce the Confederate Flag? That he is running a dishonorable campaign, now?
