Songbird is like a bad actor going through the prolonged and over acted death scene. Would he just go away already.

The closest “Crash” McCain came was when he was a Navy pilot. Instead, he killed people on the deck of the carrier.

Damn. Cold War Russian ace - he got shot down in, burned up, crashed, ejected from or destroyed five enemy (er, US Navy planes) - and he failed this attempt too.

Just die already John.

I cannot remember anyone ever in history pimping his own death the way McCain is.

He’s got a book just out, he’s on a book tour, made arrangements for Trump NOT to be there, he’s being the biggest drama queen ever.

I bet he’s hoping to die at the time of the Royal Wedding. So as to upstage the pesky Brits. Or maybe croak at the time of the Trump/Kim Jong Un summit in Singapore.

Just do us all a favor and die already.

I don't know what happened in the Hanoi Hilton. I know there are contemporary allegations that he collaborated. I also am certain that they absolutely physically abused him as his physical state has borne witness. Did he sustain torture for a time before cracking and recording some stuff the enemy? I can't know that and no tape exists so what can you say? Without evidence to the contrary, I won't assume the worst.

He's been a backstabbing snake, a thief, and a liar from his time as a member of the Keating 5 until this very day. He takes glee in twisting the knife and he makes no secret of it. He's a terrible human being without an ounce of honor. But for me, that's not enough to say his POW experience was sunshine, roses, and collaboration.

That interview extract is filled with BS, lies and mischaracterizations of his despicable behavior while imprisoned. For one, I don’t believe for one second that McCain tried to commit suicide.

You can’t kill yourself holding your breath and stomping your feet.

His injuries were from not following proper ejection procedures, not torture.
They were self-inflicted.
