Obama lies on the stump to his face and McCain calls him “a good man.” McCain goes on to lose the election. Joe gags and spits up the lie Obama is feeding him and McCain demands Wilson apologize for it.
I cannot get a read on McCain other than he isn’t a Republican.
Like someone commented upthread, I think they actually did break him in the Hanoi Hilton. His actions just never seem to compute, which tends to lend credence to the theory that they cracked him.
