But if McCain wants to play the biography story angle, it would be worth exploring his background too since all we hear is that he was a POW for five years and a maverick after that. Rolling Stone in a scathing long article takes a look at the real John McCain and I’m sure if things mentioned were widely known, the race would be long over (if it isn’t right now). One of the more enlightening passages comes right at the beginning and sets the tone for the rest of the story. But this anecdote reveals how cronyism and nepotism that McCain now rails against has landed a petulant undeserving and clearly unqualified individual so close to the White House. This conversation occured in 1974 with a colleague who was a fellow POW in Vietnam:
“I’m going to the Middle East,” Dramesi says. “Turkey, Kuwait, Lebanon, Iran.”
“Why are you going to the Middle East?” McCain asks, dismissively.
“It’s a place we’re probably going to have some problems,” Dramesi says.
“Why? Where are you going to, John?”
“Oh, I’m going to Rio.”
“What the hell are you going to Rio for?”
McCain, a married father of three, shrugs.
“I got a better chance of getting laid.”
If we love a ex-POW President so much then why don’t we see Dramesi running instead?

McCain/Palin are stooping pretty low to sort-of encourage the Obama’s-a-black-Muslim-terrorist falsehoods. Yes, people are ignorant, but McCain is knowingly going along with it. His attempting to stop the woman who said Obama was an Arab, is too little too late. I guess with mounting pressure, all that talk about decency/integrity goes right out of the window.
