Yeah, I know, there are so many damned candidates in the GOthugery Party. But John ASSidney McCain tops them all, and by a long shot.
I was minding my own business, having had a thoughtful and I felt rather spiritual day at Church. I wrote a piece for Walking in the Shadows, and I thought I would see what was about in my reader. I didn’t intend to write any more.
But, the first thing I run into is Douchehead’s interview on Meet the Press, with David Gregory, and I went ballistic. Seriously, I was screaming.
First I owe an apology to all for my post last week in which I congratulated Cindy McCain for having some common sense and guts enough to “do the right thing.” Clearly she is scared shitless of the old windbag she is married to.
I have concluded that Cindy is probably abused verbally. That is no excuse for her however, since she has money to burn and no reason to stay with that awful excuse of a human being. That she could have done the video unaware of her husband’s position and the avalanche of anger that would come her way, only makes it more clear that they live very separate lives at this point.
Enough said of that. She backed down and reversed herself, claiming that she “supported” her husband’s position. He brushed off questions as to her “turnabout” with “I don’t stand in the way of any member of my family exercising their first amendment rights.” Liar, you damn liar you.
John Sidney, you will recall, during the run up to ’08, wanting to appeal to gays and others on the left, lied (or told the truth, it’s hard to tell with John. Everything is said and done with ulterior motives, meaning NOTHING about him is anything by dishonorable and unprincipled), and said that as to DADT, he would be guided by what the generals said. If they were in favor of ending it, so would he be.
When the generals spoke, suddenly Johnny sang a different tune. Embroiled in a re-election run that wasn’t going as easy as expected, he suddenly found it politically useful to take a harder line. Now the generals, who favored ending the practice, weren’t enough. Johnny thought they should wait until a Pentagon study was completed, a study that would conveniently not be done before his re-election was up, and would let him off the hook.
Well, he won his crappy election, and is now returned to the business of screwing up Obama’s agenda in every way possible because he is a sore loser, and always “pays back” those that have the temerity of beating him fair and square.
The Pentagon study has not been released, but plenty of it has been leaked, and it’s quite clear that the study will recommend that DADT be ended and gays be allowed to serve openly.
What is McCain’s response? Suddenly, he no longer cares about the study. It has suddenly become “flawed” and now we need another study. This unprincipled, dishonorable son of a bitch is simply not willing that Obama gain credit for ending this loathsome practice. As usual, people don’t matter, only McCain’s desire to punish. This may be the most ugly person I’ve come across in a whole lot of years.
The only solace I get is that this execrable human detritus is eaten up with such hatred and self-pity that he fairly oozes black blood. What a shameful excuse he is. And I intend to write him a letter telling him just that.

I’ve never believed the little story he likes to tell that the Vietnamese offered to let him go early, but he declined. Does that makes sense? If it had been to their advantage to let him go, they would certainly have done so, and his feelings on the matter just wouldn’t play into it.
Besides which, he knowingly bombed civilian targets. Besides being a terribly immoral act, that’s a war crime. People have been waterboarded in Guantanamo for less.
Yep Thomas, I find his “heroism” less and less plausible as time goes on, but I caution myself, I do dispise the man, so I am careful to not probe that too deeply, lest I just be giving in to what I want to believe. He’s a total turd in every other way for sure.
gees…. of course the guy is a dickhead! Remember .. he is the one who inflicted America with Palin!!!! Without him she would still be hunting wolves from airplanes instead of dropping shit bombs on us all!! That alone disqualifies him from ever ever ever voicing an opinion on anything other than his brand of adult diapers!!!!
couldn’t agree more Jimmy. It’s hard for me to control the desire ot kick the TV every time I see his face on it.
To quote the famous “Margret and Helen” Blog, ” Jon Mc Cain has his head so far up his ass, he will never get it out.”
BTW, if he “knowingly bombed civilian targets,” it is news to me that such behavior was a prima facia war crime in 1966-67. I bombed the same country, so if you want to charge me, I’ll turn myself in. Let’s not drag those old chestnuts out please, there is enough evil in this asshat and a very sick old man to deal with now.
He has *admitted* to knowingly bombing civilian targets, and the Geneva Convention certainly predates the Viet Nam mistake.
If that’s what you did, then yes, if it was up to me, I’d charge you.
Reamus, I’m hesitant to go to far down that path myself. Living with a Vet, I have some idea of the horrors of war and I am not particularly ready to condemn anyone for much of anything done in “soldiering”. If being in a war doesn’t make you have crazy, I’m not sure you were sane to start with. Those who do wrong in war must be considered victims as I see it. I’m just tired of McCain inflicting his wounds on those of us who didn’t cause his trouble.
He will not stop until he confirms to the world the full extent of his misery and self-loathing, will he? How awful it must be to win the world’s admiration on a ruse that you haven’t the chutzpah and finesse to keep up. I’d hate to wake up every morning and realize I was John McCain, again and again and again. The only thing worse than that–the only more cruel fate I can imagine–would be to wake up and see John McCain’s head on the pillow beside you.
Your spleen is well-justified, Sherry. A political hamster is simply a hamster and there’s no getting around it!
Tim, I can give him his due in terms of why he is in so much pain. What I cannot give him is the right to inflict it on everyone who had nothing to do with it. He seems hell bent now on destroying the effectively of our forces by pitting them against one another. His hatred is unbounded it seems to me. He needs to be retired period.
I was on the same boat he was for a time. If McCain was ever briefed to bomb a civilian target than he and his CO have got a problem. I NEVER was briefed to bomb anything but a legitimate military installation or fuel dump and an occassional bridge.
Peopler die in war, collaterally. I couldn’t help that. I was told and offered my wings to my CO after being asked to drop napalm. he told me to keep them and he re-assigned the mission.
Don’t lecture me on the Geneva Convention. I can read it without moving my lips and have a fair idea when it was actually ratified. Since we all agree McCain is an idiot, possibly senile, delusional, and many of us thought him a disgrace to his uniform, why don’t we stick to the point Sherry made, to wit: He is a disgrace.
Amen to that.
