JOHN MCCAIN DOES NOT EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE HIS EXPERIENCE IN VIETNAM FOR POLITICAL ENDS
Posted on August 18, 2008 by andrew
Apparently, “prisoner of war” has gone from a key part of John McCain’s bio to an insurmountable trump card. In response to allegations that McCain cheated the rules a bit during his weekend joint appearance with Barack Obama, the McCain campaign didn’t even hesitate to remind us how its candidate spent the early 70’s:
“The insinuation from the Obama campaign that John McCain, a former prisoner of war, cheated is outrageous,” [Nikole Wallace, a spokeswoman for Mr. McCain] said.
…
“John McCain cheated on his first wife.”
“Attacking the moral values of a prisoner of war is outrageous.”
“There are also allegations that he was verbally abusive towards his current wife.”
“Maybe, but there are also allegations that he was a prisoner of war.”
“Alright, but John McCain was a member of the Keating Five.”
“What part of ‘prisoner of war’ do you not understand?”
“The Keating Five thing isn’t even an allegation, it’s historical record.”
“Historical record? How about the historical record showing that John McCain was a P-R-I-S-O-N-E-R O-F W-A-R? Next question!”
