Former President Jimmy Carter said Thursday that John McCain is “milking every possible drop of advantage” from his time as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, USA Today reported Thursday.
Carter focused on McCain’s interview earlier this month with author and pastor Rick Warren at his parish, the Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif. McCain used every question, whether it was about religion, domestic or foreign affairs, to talk about his five-and-a-half years as a POW, Carter claimed.
“John McCain was able to weave in his experience in a Vietnam prison camp, no matter what the question was,” Carter, a 7-year Naval officer, told the paper. “It’s much better than talking about how he’s changed his total character between being a senator, a kind of a maverick at the time, and his acquiescence in the last few months with every kind of lobbyist pressure that the right wing Republicans have presented to him.”

“I’m John Kerry and I’m reporting for duty!”
Jimmy Carter doesn’t have one single thing he can milk, unless you count his legion of failures. Oh and, hating Jews beyond all reason.
I don’t remember any of the Dems criticizing Kerry for milking his short tour in Vietnam.
Not a good topic for Carter.
Historically, the price of milk peaked in 1979. (adjusted for inflation)
I was in the service during his presidency and the saying we had back then was "the two things a naval officer needs to know with this president is Russian and lifeboat drill".
The only good thing to come out of his tenure was Ronald Reagan!
I was through caring what Jimuh said or thought the day our hostages came home from Iran. Which also happened to be the day RR took over the White House from the biggest POS sissy boy who ever lived there.
LLS
Further addled musing from the clueless and classless former POTUS?
Hypocrite.
>>>>>Hey jimmuh... one day when you are lying in your grave and you hear something that sounds like rain hitting your head stone... it will be me. Burn in hell jimmuh!
This is a long line....Many waiting for a loooong time...can’t wait to see who goes first, Hanoi Jane or this imbecile.
Still trying to figure out why this moron hasnt had his passport lifted...
Ever notice how those who do the least in life complain loudest about those who do?
Carter - The Worst President of the 20th Century
Why do we even bother to report what this loser says?
Isn’t there a house that needs finishing somewhere?
Last night on a WABC radio program Larry Sabato called Jimmy Carter........the original Joe Biden.
Proving once again that the wrong Carter brother died young.
What a miserable failure...and one who doesn’t have the sense to shut up and let us forget about his pathetic tenure.
