Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I got really happy when Biden said LIHEAP. That's one of my favorite government programs!

It's a biography of McCain, with all the dirt and ugliness in his unwashed nasty glory. Very unpleasant, really.

(I'm glad she didn't come off as a dumbass. A wrongheaded wrongperson who is WRONG AND DELUDED, sure, but I was tiring of the airhead implications and didn't believe they were true.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The Couric interview clips I've seen were TERRIFYING, so yeah, I do agree with you.

I was just reading that. I was particularly horrified by the fact that he used family connections to fly again after the crashes he'd had would disqualify him. Then his crashing plane set the U.S.S. Forrestal on fire, killing 134 sailors. McCain, as the article snarked, had a lot of practice surviving plane crashes. He watched the fire on closed circuit TV while others died fighting it.

To be fair, that wasn't his fault. Another plane fired a rocket through his own plane, which blew gas all over and then his own bombs fell into the hold of the ship. Not something that could be controlled for.
His reaction to it? Not something to be proud of. But I wouldn't blame him for the original accident, at least not based on what the RS article said.
I did find the statements by the other POWs pretty compelling: that one of the reasons McCain didn't come home with the other prisoners is that he would have had to testify against the US, and that was a court-martial offense. Also, by that point he was getting much better treatment, anyway.
