Oh, please, don’t say that! I watched the Admiral in that debate and he really was totally out of place but do you know anything else about him? James Bond Stockdale, yes, that really was his name, was a medal of honor winning US Navy Admiral who was taken prisoner and tortured in Vietnam. He flew Navy fighter jets which puts him in the top ranks of pilots, he was a man of great accomplishment. To compare him to Kaine based on a “debate” performance is abominable. To have someone who gave so much and accomplished so much remembered only for the mistake of agreeing to run as Ross Perot’s VP candidate is so, so sad. It is hard to imagine what torture it must have been for all those who knew who he really was.
Well stated. Admiral Stockdale was an American hero. I had the privilege of meeting his widow some years ago.
Sorry, I was talking about performance, NOT character, and I guess his wife was not demanding an “open” marriage either !!!
