McCain's made a mockery of his own POW status.
He's misused it so many times, it's become a joke. Like Guiliani and 9-11. It'll be the stuff of parody and satire. Like Bob Dole's use of the third person.

Now every time Obama respectfully honors McCain's POW status in his speeches, he's simply handing McCain more rope to hang himself with. Some of you were complaining about Obama doing that, but it looks like once again he's proven himself smarter than the backseat drivers.

1. Question for McCain:
Question for McCain:

Q: "According to the 'Bush/Cheney' definition of torture (which you ascribe to), *you*, Senator McCain, were not tortured while a POW in Vietnam. Do you agree? If not, does that mean the U.S. is indeed engaging in torture as bad or worse than what was committed against you?

3. he has to reach back 35 years to find something he's done worthy of note
All glory is fleeting, but guys like John McCain drag theirs around for a lifetime.
