Did you know that John McCain spent 5 and 1/2 years in a prison cell?
Really:

In an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, McCain, 71, said his priority was to keep Americans in their homes in tough economic times.

Then he recalled his Vietnam experience.

"I spent 5 1/2 years in a prison cell without -- I didn't have a house. I didn't have a kitchen table. I didn't have a table. I didn't have a chair," he said.

"I spent those 5 1/2 years ... not because I wanted to get a house when I got out."


I didn't have a house. I didn't have a kitchen table. I didn't have a table. I didn't have a chair. Poor, poor John. Do you think this maudlin horseshit is going to start to wear on the American people?

1. That must be the time he was talking about with Couric
When he said that he didn't even have a kitchen table at one time.

2. I heard he had 'P' tatooed on the left asscheek and 'W' on the other
so when bent over you could see he was a "POW"

4. Please God, won't someone ask him if his POW experience played a part in his
Keating 5 experience.

7. Yes, but has he done anything else?
Right now, that's all that springs to mind about McCain. He was a POW. What else is significant about him?
