Best sentence ever!

If at first you don’t succeed ...

Gee, he can't do anything right...................

[ethom]

if he could have landed an airplane, he would have been admiral easily...

GMTA!.......................

Songbird is like a bad actor going through the prolonged and over acted death scene. Would he just go away already.

The closest “Crash” McCain came was when he was a Navy pilot. Instead, he killed people on the deck of the carrier.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Damn. Cold War Russian ace - he got shot down in, burned up, crashed, ejected from or destroyed five enemy (er, US Navy planes) - and he failed this attempt too.

Hey John......!

Just resign from the Senate, that'll be enough for me....

[Responsibility2nd]

Just die already John.

I cannot remember anyone ever in history pimping his own death the way McCain is.

He’s got a book just out, he’s on a book tour, made arrangements for Trump NOT to be there, he’s being the biggest drama queen ever.

I bet he’s hoping to die at the time of the Royal Wedding. So as to upstage the pesky Brits. Or maybe croak at the time of the Trump/Kim Jong Un summit in Singapore.

Just do us all a favor and die already.

I don't know what happened in the Hanoi Hilton. I know there are contemporary allegations that he collaborated. I also am certain that they absolutely physically abused him as his physical state has borne witness. Did he sustain torture for a time before cracking and recording some stuff the enemy? I can't know that and no tape exists so what can you say? Without evidence to the contrary, I won't assume the worst.

He's been a backstabbing snake, a thief, and a liar from his time as a member of the Keating 5 until this very day. He takes glee in twisting the knife and he makes no secret of it. He's a terrible human being without an ounce of honor. But for me, that's not enough to say his POW experience was sunshine, roses, and collaboration.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Too bad he did not succeed.

[House Atreides]

That interview extract is filled with BS, lies and mischaracterizations of his despicable behavior while imprisoned. For one, I don’t believe for one second that McCain tried to commit suicide.

[Fhios]

You can’t kill yourself holding your breath and stomping your feet.

[faucetman]

C’mon man. Do you EVER tell the truth?

Oh, to be able to listen in when Juan bends that knee.

"McCain: I tried suicide in captivity During a interview with CNN's Larry King"

That must have been a very rough interview!

[Lurkinanloomin]

His injuries were from not following proper ejection procedures, not torture.
They were self-inflicted.
