McCain's most horrendous loss occurred in 1967 on the USS Forrestal. Well, not horrendous for him. The starter motor switch on the A4E Skyhawk allowed fuel to pool in the engine. When the aircraft was "wet-started," an impressive flame would shoot from the tail. It was one of the ways young hot-shots got their jollies. Investigators and survivors took the position that McCain deliberately wet-started to harass the F4 pilot directly behind him. The cook off launched an M34 Zuni rocket that tore through the Skyhawk's fuel tank, released a thousand pound bomb, and ignited a fire that killed the pilot plus 167 men. Before the tally of dead and dying was complete, the son and grandson of admirals had been transferred to the USS Oriskany.
As a rising naval officer, McCain was surrounded by rumors of numerous adulterous affairs, such as used to be called "conduct unbecoming an officer." Author and biographer Robert Timberg has detailed several of McCain's sexual relationships with subordinates when serving as a Squadron Leader and an Executive Officer. I think we all know such behavior is a clear violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, in other words, a crime.
When McCain's application to the National War College was rejected, according to noted author and researcher Joel Skousen, he whined to daddy who pulled strings with the Secretary of the Navy.>/i>

On October 26, 1967, McCain's A-4 Skyhawk was shot down over Hanoi. The fractures of 1 leg and both arms were reportedly due to his failure to tuck them in during ejection. According to U.S. News & World Report (May 14, 1973), McCain didn't wait long before offering military information in return for medical care. While an extraordinary patient at Gi Lam Hospital, he was visited by a number of dignitaries, including, to quote McCain himself, General Vo Nguyen Giap, the national hero of Dienbienphu.

According to T who interpreted all interrogations and notes pertaining to McCain during the latter's stay from December, 1969, to March, 1973, when a well-fed looking McCain's was released, privileges were extended. These included time at a furnished apartment in Hanoi - furnished with 2 prostitutes. McCain would attribute such absences to solitary confinement.
It has been widely reported that following his father's appointment as CINCPAC Commander-in-Chief of all U.S. forces in the Vietnam theater of operations, McCain was offered an immediate parole. McCain insists that he refused such a preference. Others insist that his father refused to allow such a preference. In any event, such an offer would have required the approval of the Soviet masters, and T would have seen documentation. He has no recollection of such an offer.
In 1991 the Soviet Union was in a state of collapse. People and things were up for grabs. During that thaw, a mass document swap took place between the KGB and CIA. All T's translations were included. If these dots are really connected, it is small wonder that McCain had fought consistently to keep all files sealed, block any attempts to retrieve POWs, and establish the friendliest of relations with his former tormentors.

he holds court while variously sitting on a giant red plastic ball, eating tuna from a can, rubbing his feet against a massager and sniffing hand lotion as he kneads it into his fingers. He excuses himself to go to "the ladies room."

Anyone notice again- oil up, dollar and market DOWN.
Say thank you to Bush/Cheney! Well, at least our boys in Iraq will have a tan!
---That's about all you can say for this loser Administration!
Why the hell is there NO mention of the failed Medicare Bill? Not one word on TV, the print media or the internet news sites. Why the hell isn't Obama bringing this to the attention of voters, many of whom would be pissed off when they hear this.
the GOPers are so screwed and they so know it. la la la...
Yep, it's a media blackout. How convenient when McCain is running on Bush's "War" record!
Liberace with a wife?
What do you know about old Grover that you're not telling us?
You know for a fact that the other side does not hesitate for a moment to do similar things, and I, for one, am tired of seeing the left bring a knife to a gunfight.
now that's interesting...

Grover and his pal Rove need to share a jail cell.
I do not think that his is a job worth doing. But Grover lives comfortably doing it. When people don't care about politics, the world is an oyster for the Grover Norquist's of this world. Level headed people would just ignore him and usually the Grovers would just fade away. Here they prosper and all signs point to continued prosperity. Frightful.
John Ridley at huffpo has a great post up right now...it's about Rove calling Obama 'arrogant' which translates to 'uppity'
these pasty pudgy GOPers are digging their own graves.
Nice try on the re-write of history.
You will have better luck with that when your Neo-Progressive movement has taken over.

I told her I ain't so sure about this place
It's hard to play a gig in this town
Keep a straight face
And seems like everybody's got a plan
It's kind of like Nashville with a tan
