#1 I can relate to the Bammer when he said he was being "followed" around + under covert surveillance as a Senator from Chicago.

As for Trayvon being ala his "son", iff he wants a son he + Michelle can formally adopt like BradGelina, Madonna, + other in Hollywood.

#3 McCain further cements his reputation as a pandering moron, a washed up FORMER war hero who sold out and is useless, even harmful, to the cause of liberty.

Does Arizona have a recall law?

#7 McCain proves once again his depth of analysis is a hundred yards wide and a quarter inch deep.

#9 Fanning the flames on a fire that was out before he got involved - then makes a speech but leaves the issue open. Absolutely useless.

#10 Does Arizona have a recall law?

Yes; supposedly there's one being organized now.

The esteemed Senator from Arizona veered sharply right in 2003, when the 2003 recall petition campaign looked like it might succeed.

#11 Remember, this is a man who usually goes out of his way to be on the side of 'hispanics.' I guess non-Mexicans need not apply.

#12 Pappy, good data to know. Somehow I think being humiliated by being recalled and booted from office is a fitting end and testament to McCain's true character.
Is McCain's "Pelosi" moment ("i dont know how many passports can someone forge based") drawing attention too? It seems like he decided to simply not give a damn anymore, and let his true colors and low IQ show.

Opinion of him is that he got a lot of attention due to circumstance and lineage, not to specific merit or brains, and has been riding those for his entire career after the military.

#13 A few years ago I worked with a retired Navy CAPT and former OGA employee who was detailed to McCain during agency visits. He always said the man was an absolute piece of work.

#15 I have read Senator McCarthy would not even have made it in the Navy, let alone allowed to fly a plane without the long protective arm of Admiral McCarthy, his father. Alos he was involved in an accident who came close todestroy an American carrier (fact). While he was cleared of wrongdoing the article points that there was far than enough evidence to bereak his carrer or ven being expelled from the Navy. But he was the son of an Admiral.

I don't know if the article detailed real torts and shortcomings of McCain's Navy carrere or iff it was motivated by political resentment.

Anyone willing to comment?

#16 Oops the above was above Senator McCain and his father Admiral McCain.

#17 Admiral McCain was CINCPAC and a full Admiral when his son was in the Navy. I don't know how active he was on protecting his son but even without him moving finger there were certainly many officers who thought better than pushinging sanctions or giving bad appreciations on the young McCain.

#18 JFM, as much as I've come to despise McCain, he was in no way responsible for the fire on the USS Forrestal in 1967. A rocket from another plane set the A-4 next to McCain's on fire. He escaped by climbing down the nose of his plane.

McCain was 'involved' only in the sense that he was nearby when it happened.

#19 he should stick to flying to war-torn 3rd world shitholes that have nothing to do w/us and then tell us how we should send troops to fix it. I wish this @sshole would retire and take his stupid arrogant pig of a daughter w/him.
