2-HeadedGiraffe: McCain
The McCain campaign is making a big deal about John McCain having been taken prisoner and tortured during the war, and particularly about how he refused to leave when offered release until his coworkers were also released. What does this really tell us about the man?
1) He's wasn't particularly good at his job. I mean, come on. He got himself captured.
2) He values loyalty over self-preservation. Rather than getting out, where he might conceivably even have been able to do some good for the other captives, or the cause in which we can only assume he believed, he stayed with them and accomplished nothing.
Yeah, this is the best story you can use to pump up this guy's image. Actually, though, since the average American won't realize this is an example of his incompetence, it potentially WILL do a great deal to help him, which is just appalling. We didn't even belong in that war in the first place.
Mood: RAGE!
Socks: None
2-HeadedGiraffe: SMASH!
