I Am Entitled

[Jacobin]

John McCain was Entitled to get in the Naval Academy.....not because of his merits but because of the legacy of his father and grandfather.


John McCain was Entitled to continue flying planes after crashing one after another (when others would have been washed out) because of his ancestors


John McCain was Entitled to ditch the injured wife who waited for him while he was in the Hanoi Hilton because he was special and was Entitled to marry a woman with a $100 million dollar fortune to make him comfortable.

John McCain was Entitled to escape serious punishment for openly taking bribes from Keating.

John McCain was Entitled to win the 2008 presidential race because all of his life he has thought he is Entitled to things that he didn't earn, because all of his life he has gotten his way because of his sense of Entitlement.

John McCain is angry now, angrier than he has been in the past, because now he knows that he cannot win the presidency he thought he was Entitled to.

3. That's exactly how I've been seeing his anger all along

He is angry because he is entitled to be president, this is his last shot at it, and Obama is taking away his entitlement from him. He's been entitled to be president, in his mind, ever since it became clear he was too much of a fuck-up to make admiral like his father and grandfather. If he couldn't join him, he figured, why not beat them: what trumps a military commander but a commander-in-chief?

4. He feels he is entitled because he kissed bush ass for 8 years

to earn the entitlement. Now all he will have is the taste of bush pooh on his lips for the rest of his life.

That is unless they find a way to cheat again and somehow pull a really big one out of the trash bag.
