Aw I dunno Norway.

I got a nephew, he’s a freaking Maryland state cop. He cannot stand President Trump.

I put up that post about McCain, mentioning only slightly, the Forrester incident. That was when the awful, terrible, currently-burning-in-hell McCain thought it would be cool to do something they like to do on aircraft carriers, somehow letting a big fireball blow out of the jet during takeoff. It’s supposed to pass over quick, causing onlookers to have a momentary fright.

Only McCain’s blowout also blew up the ship and caused deaths of over 100 sailors.

Well my nephew got on that board and wrote up a big lecture on how McCain was a war hero, that the Forrester was not his fault....big lecture.

There are plenty of people out there who bought that hero story, and now we got fatso Meghan McCain all over the day talk shows pouring disdain on our president, who never was the relative of two naval admirals, never came in the bottom five of his class, never wrecked two airplanes, never betrayed the prisoners of war left behind, never was part of the Keating Five.

But until I do not see or hear another American call John McCain a hero, I believe he got off easy.

Pat, here is some background on the carrier fire. As much as I detest McCain, I find it hard to blame him for the catastrophe. It was investigated extensively and the results did not find McCain complicit.

I was listening to Red Eye Radio the other night. They were talking about how much a hero John McCain was... Implied he was more of a hero than any other. Not sure if it was them or someone else who said he never gave the enemy anything... I shut off the radio.
