And you thought FTR's articles were biased...

"Get off my lawn!" joke.

Hm.

So, is it that he can't actually define it?

Or perhaps that he can't remember what he wrote?

Or maybe he's done something which isn't consistent with it?

Or maybe W has done something which isn't consistent with "honor in politics", so JMc feels vulnerable to pointed questions...

Or - o horrors! - he didn't write the books at all...

I would have liked it if McCain had answered "I don't recall" better.

wow. prickly ain't even the word. he was downright hostile.

no, of course he can't define honor. the man's a fucking traitor who does nothing but tout his POW past, even though he spent his time in captivity putting himself first, before his country.

Fair call. I snarked, and I shouldn't have.

He doesn't come across as a happy man, does he?

Don't you think you're being a little harsh on him? I mean, he needs the cash from selling those books. Upkeep on 7 (or is it 10?) houses is fucking expensive. Every average American knows that. If he actually answered those questions, he couldn't cash in. I mean, you gotta make at least $5 mil a year just to get by, right?

Wait? What? My articles aren't "biased."

It's as if he's memorized the script and recites it by rote. Apparently they kept his lines short so he could remember them.

What are you talking about? Your interview with McCain was like three pages of you riding his jock.

What can I say? The man has a stunning jock.

Wow, what an asshole.
He does realize that he's running for president, right?


If nothing else, he should have the cranky old man demographic sewn up.

You's always funnin'

I miss the McCain that was not an ass-kissing Bush apologist and actually stood for and believed in being right (correct) than popular with his fellow politicians. The current version of McCain is a dick.

A recent article by an Arizona journalist suggested that he's always been a dick, and we've just been blind to it because his rhetoric appealed to us.

Maybe we just have to wait for the 2.0.1 update to fix all the bugs.

It worked for Vista, didn't it?

Oh, yeah. It didn't.

You're gonna need to provide an unbiased source for the assertion about his time in captivity. In any case, I'd say that self-preservation is a priority when you're a POW and your comments are a cheap shot.

I get it. You don't like the guy. But he did serve his country and deserves a measure of respect of that, even if he's not president material.

Here are the feelings of a fellow POW in the Hanoi Hilton.

He ated it.

From the article...

That guy admits that he didn't know McCain in prison. He wasn't there. Therefore his opinion of McCain is about as relevant as the Swiftboat Veterans' opinion of John Kerry.

Thankfully, you probably won't see any TV ads attacking McCain's service. I doubt Obama would approve of shit like that.

You're right. Nobody in the campaign is going to take those shots. In every speech, as soon as they mention McCain, they praise his service. Then they attack where it counts: voting record, weak economics, poor political choices, etc.
