The most disgraceful comment I’ve heard so far this campaign season came from Gen. Wesley Clarke. He said in effect that John McCain was “riding” in a plane and was shot down. Clark made it sound like he went to the Air Boss and asked for a round-trip ticket to Haiphong harbor. The stewardess showed him to his seat and he buckled up. In other words, Clark said that McCain was merely a passenger on a flight that crashed.
I’ve read that he was somehow responsible, but I don’t think that it was deliberate. He wasn’t charged or convicted. Maybe because he wasn’t involved or maybe because it was an accident or maybe because of the clout of his father.
My point in the my original post was that just because some of us do not share your admiration for McCain or excited about the prospects of him being elected doesn’t mean that we are deranged. There is room for doubt and question.
I do know this. It takes the likes of Obama to make him look good to a lot of people.
