Asked what he thinks of McCain, Vidal calls him a "disaster," then tells Deborah Solomon, "Who started this rumor that he was a war hero? Where does that come from, aside from himself? About his suffering in the prison war camp?"Solomon replies: "Everyone knows he was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam." To which Vidal responds: "That’s what he tells us."
Now this from Jeffrey Klein which is headlining at HuffPo this AM...
Gaps In McCain's Military Record Raise Questions
Here's a snip from this screed - the actual title is McCain's Secret, Questionable Record
All of the evidence, indications and comments that the New York Times published a flattering lie about McCain's career on its front page are easy for John McCain to refute. All he needs to do is sign Standard Form 180, which authorizes the Navy to send an undeleted copy of McCain's naval file to news organizations. A long paper trail about McCain's pending promotion to admiral would be prominent in his file. To date, McCain's advisers have released snippets from his file, but under constrained viewing circumstances. There's no reason McCain's full file shouldn't be released immediately. There's also a recent precedent for McCain signing the simple form that leads to full disclosure: Senator John Kerry signed the 180 waiver, which made his entire naval file public.
Excuse me while I go vomit...
Consider the analogy - John Kerry and his rice-fanny grenade purple heart versus John McCain's 5 years as a POW... HMMM... I'll take McCain any day of the week. And while we're on the subject what about Obama releasing his military record? Oh Yeah - that's right...
HE. DOESN'T. HAVE. ONE.
