John McCain on C-SPAN, God help us...

[Eurobabe]

He is so ossified: physically and mentally.

Stuck back in the 50s.

[Sparkly]

1. Did you hear him yell, "Stop the confetti!"

:rofl:

[C_U_L8R]

2. Where's stonehenge?

[Eurobabe]

3. He is a crotchety old fart

[montanacowboy]

4. He wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years

and with that whiney ass POS Lieberman as his VP, there is no end to wars and wars and wars and wars and wars

btw, what is that big lump on the side of his face?

[1620rock]

5. Maybe he would re-start the Vietnam war.

[Maccagirl]

[pretzel4gore]

8. his daddy was an bigshot admiral...

like old bush (who reportedly bailed out of burning AC with 3 crew trapped in back) this guy really doesn't want the true 'war' record to be revealed; in mcain's case, it involved accident on the USS Forestal where mccain was later helicoptered off of in a sweep-under-the-rug type operation that belies the coverup storied heroism featured in this link...

Of all the strange episodes of the Vietnam War, none was more improbable than what happened aboard the monster U. S. aircraft carrier USS Forrestal in the Gulf of Tonkin on the morning of July 29, 1967.
No enemy action was involved, and no ammunition was deliberately fired off. Yet within a few hours, 134 American sailors died, 161 more were seriously injured, 21 airplanes were lost and 40 more damaged, and damage to military property totaled $72.2 million dollars.

The pilot whose plane was hit by that stray rocket that morning was 26-year old John McCain, who now sits in the U. S. Senate. McCain is, however, just one among a large and appealing cast of sailor heroes in Freeman's book. There are wonderfully affecting stories of young sailors whose lives were spared --- or taken --- by sheer chance.

question: if mccain really was a hero, why has no one ever heard of this?
