I did a search on "McCain Vietnam Prisoner War" and while I was able to turn up one (alleged?) contemporaneous POW who claimed that McCain got preferential treatment, I was not able to uncover any contemporaneous reports supporting the McCain-sanctioned hagiography. This certainly raises the possibility in my mind that the official McCain legend is hogwash, though I still consider the issue open, as I've only been able to find one derogatory contemporaneous POW account.

If McCain's POW claims are so widely considered to be fraudulent, or at least exaggerated, by his fellow POW's, though, I'm a little surprised that more haven't taken him to task, in a fashion similar to the Swift Boat vets' treatment of Kerry.

I have to admit that I found it a little unsettling to square McCain's allegedly heroic behavior as a POW with his craven behavior as a Senator, since I've always felt that adults don't undergo major personality changes. Now that you've pointed out that his behavior in both settings has been consistent, I feel as if there is a little more order in my world.

"I have to admit that I found it a little unsettling to square McCain's allegedly heroic behavior as a POW with his craven behavior as a Senator, since I've always felt that adults don't undergo major personality changes."

Many here in Arizona consider him to be mentally disturbed. He has fits of rage during which he lashes out venomously at preceived enemies.

The Bushes are in his sights and they have been for years. As a president he would be the "nuke fruit" the dems always considered Nixon to be.

All in all, he scares the sh*t out of me!

I will listen to local talk ahows today and see what they have to say.

When is the Republican Leadership going to smack this Rino assclown down and yank party support and choice committee assignments from him? Trying to deal with McCain is a waste of time. This is clear evidence that the Republican Senate Whip (Mitch McConnell - KY) is useless.

Hence the nickname McInsane.

My wife used to be politically active back in AZ and has witnessed these. We even have a picture of her schmoozing with him at some black tie event, which was loads of fun to show to my fellow gun crank friends back when he was caterwauling about the "gun show loophole."
