McCain POW-POW-POWs In Response To Economy Question

[RedEarth]

POW-POW-POW hyperinflation alert!

In an interview with KDKA radio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, John McCain POW-POW-POWed when asked about charges that he's an elitist who's out of touch with the American worker on kitchen-table issues.

McCain: Well you know I have town hall meetings all the time, everywhere across this country, and I hear from people....
And in all due respect my friends, I know what it's like to not have a house, I know what it's like not to have a kitchen table. I know what it's like not to have a table or a chair. For five and a half years, I sat in a cell with nothing but concrete floor and three boards to sleep on.

2. He did WHAT?! I can't believe it...

:sarcasm:



I wonder what subjects this windsock couldn't answer with some variation of "I was a POW!"

[sarge43]

3. So Cap'n, are you saying American workers are POWs? n/t

[speedoo]

4. This is now BEYOND ridiculous.

But I'm glad he's doing it. Soon, it will be a nationwide joke, and then he will have nothing.

5. He is shameless in using the POW card. It's swiftly crossing into the absurd at this point.

6. Apparently he believes he's owed the presidency, being an ex-POW (nt)

[cliffordu]

7. Again? I wish some other POW's would tell him to shut the fuck up.

8. doesn't he understand it's not the same thing

If you have no kitchen table and no house because you are imprisoned, there's always the hope when you get out you'll get back to your house and food. But when you don't have it at all, and have no means available to ever have it, you have no hope. McCain has never been in a position to be hopeless. That's why the comparison is so, so wrong.
