As I mentioned to some people last night

My granddad was in the Navy. I don't know much, though I know a little more than most. When John McCain, the poster child for cronyism and nepotism, claps a Chief Petty Officer on the shoulder, that's not respect. That's a goof-off patronizing a salior who proved himself to be a responsible motherfucker.

Keep smiling, Chief. Your respect of rank was better than McCain's.

Sadly, this is what being tortured will do to people. (That, and being raised with phenomenal entitlement).
It's why I've been saying that McCain's service, while some would consider it admirable, is actually a disqualification for office in my view; when you take a man and break him, in many ways he will stay broken...

I remember that it was a joke--a joke!--in 2000 when he was running then and was on the Daily Show and they had a segment that said the parts of medical records that had been redacted said "John McCain is fucking crazy!" Sadly, they turned out to be right.
