As I said on another thread on this subject, I was going easy on McCain at this time. His family is grieving, and he doubtless did some good things with his life, such as staying on at the Hanoi Hilton rather than cashing in his connections chit to get out. However, after this awful snub, it's back to thinking of him as a vindictive little prick. And I'm not sure his surviving family is much better, either.
