Durbin delivers a litany of self-absorbed gobbledygook and tearful campaign-level platitudes, then John McCain magnanimously decides to grant absolution to the guy for being disingenuous! What a pair of dilrods.
John McCain is a phony, totally media-contrived narcissist. The story of his capture, confinement and abuse at the hand sof the North Vietnamese is hair-raising, but it has about as much relevance to his activities in the Senate as John Kerry's did to courage. McCain is one of the boys, covering for a colleague because he owes them after the scandals of the 1980s. He is, after all, a thief, and there is honor among thieves, but not apparently among US Congressmen.
