Nasty McCain Now Just Yelling At People To Buy His Books

Civil War veteran John McCain served his country with “honor,” but he has no idea what “honor” even means! In a hilarious Q&A with TIME Magazine — hilarious because he’s just barking “Get off my lawn!” at the poor reporters — McCain is asked a simple, boring, “just quote your stump speech” question, and he goes absolutely crazy.

There’s a theme that recurs in your books and your speeches, both about putting country first but also about honor. I wonder if you could define honor for us?

Read it in my books.

I’ve read your books.

No, I’m not going to define it.

But honor in politics?

I defined it in five books. Read my books.


Th-that’s n-not straight talk we can b-believe in!

Jesus, if you can’t give some rote definition of honor when your entire campaign is built around your Honorable Patriotism bullshit, you should really just hang it up, let Mitt or somebody take the nomination.

McCain gets bonus Nasty Points for demanding that people buy five of his goddamned books to figure out how he might define “honor in politics,” even if you’ve already read them.

Also, he didn’t write any of “his” books — they were all written by his loyal propaganda aide, Mark Salter.
