Have you ever read of the group (the Phoenix 14) who first gave McCain his start in politics in 1982? One of them was the publisher of the Arizona Republic—a guy named Darrow Tully aka “Duke” (named after Clarence Darrow, no less). He touted himself as an accomplished pilot and war-hero, telling stories of flying jet fighters in the Korean and Vietnam wars, even donning the full uniform of a USAF Lt.Col, medals and all. He became McCain’s good buddy.
It turns out that the guy wasn’t even a pilot, let alone a war hero. He had never even served in the military. He was outed some years ago (he’s even included in Burkett’s book “Stolen Valor” with all of the other fakers.)
You’d think McCain, being a fighter pilot, would realize the guy was a fraud. Nope! He is godfather of McCain’s daughter!
I didn’t know that but it doesn’t surprise me a bit. I don’t see any integrity in McCain’s character. He’s a thoroughly repugnant unscrupulous person.
