Dear John McCain; Please DO NOT BOTHER this time, |
|
to do your "mea culpa" about your lying to the American people when you lose next week, like you did last time in your 'Flag of Our Fathers' book.
DON'T BOTHER asking for America's forgiveness this time.
Just DON'T BOTHER, you despicable cheap lying stupid little piece of shit.
As always, when it comes to "LOSING OR LYING"...you "CHOSE LYING".
So just don't fucking bother asking us to forgive you this time, MFer.

his despicable, cowardly behavior during/after the Forrestal catastrophe...riding that horrible event, using Johnny Apple as his avatar in his rise to 'fame?' if you haven't read it yet, you'll be amazed, once again, at the capacity of any republican to plumb depths of mendacity, hypocrisy, venality (endless list of pejoratives could follow, but I'll leave it at that) deeper than you could have imagined. http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/make_believe_maverick_the_real_john_mccainAt Fort McNair, an army base located along the Potomac River in the nation's capital, a chance reunion takes place one day between two former POWs. It's the spring of 1974, and Navy commander John Sidney McCain III has returned home from the experience in Hanoi that, according to legend, transformed him from a callow and reckless youth into a serious man of patriotism and purpose. Walking along the grounds at Fort McNair, McCain runs into John Dramesi, an Air Force lieutenant colonel who was also imprisoned and tortured in Vietnam.
McCain is studying at the National War College, a prestigious graduate program he had to pull strings with the Secretary of the Navy to get into. Dramesi is enrolled, on his own merit, at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces in the building next door.
There's a distance between the two men that belies their shared experience in North Vietnam — call it an honor gap. Like many American POWs, McCain broke down under torture and offered a "confession" to his North Vietnamese captors. Dramesi, in contrast, attempted two daring escapes. For the second he was brutalized for a month with daily torture sessions that nearly killed him. His partner in the escape, Lt. Col. Ed Atterberry, didn't survive the mistreatment. But Dramesi never said a disloyal word, and for his heroism was awarded two Air Force Crosses, one of the service's highest distinctions. McCain would later hail him as "one of the toughest guys I've ever met."
On the grounds between the two brick colleges, the chitchat between the scion of four-star admirals and the son of a prizefighter turns to their academic travels; both colleges sponsor a trip abroad for young officers to network with military and political leaders in a distant corner of the globe.
"I'm going to the Middle East," Dramesi says. "Turkey, Kuwait, Lebanon, Iran."
"Why are you going to the Middle East?" McCain asks, dismissively.
"It's a place we're probably going to have some problems," Dramesi says.
"Why? Where are you going to, John?"
"Oh, I'm going to Rio."
"What the hell are you going to Rio for?"
McCain, a married father of three, shrugs.
"I got a better chance of getting laid."
Dramesi, who went on to serve as chief war planner for U.S. Air Forces in Europe and commander of a wing of the Strategic Air Command, was not surprised. "McCain says his life changed while he was in Vietnam, and he is now a different man," Dramesi says today. "But he's still the undisciplined, spoiled brat that he was when he went in."
