Senator Biden's asinine comment about the forthcoming president's “test" provoked John McCain's quick rejoinder: “I've already been tested.” That French video of the wounded John McCain in a Hanoi prison certainly stands as stark proof.
While recently endorsing Barack Obama (for the second time), Fidel Castro made a point to insult the brave and grievously wounded man featured in that video as “a tool of the Miami Mafia” (i.e., Americans of Cuban heritage who refused to serve as Castro's tools, and today overwhelmingly refuse to serve as the Democratic party's “Hispanic outreach” tools).
