There is something off about McCain - not normal. His behavior, such as his outrageous lies, and his face hint at possible sociopathic personality, steroid use, and/or early stages of dementia. I already noted a creepiness back in 2000.

McCain’s response to the Swiftboat Vets’ relating their direct memories about Kerry in Vietnam is telling. He trashed them immediately. Either he knew they were probably right and lied, or he didn’t know anything and reacted against them by reflex. The media jumped on his words to defend Kerry of course.

I think McCain reacted reflexively because of his PTSD and a vexing fear that the same sort of revelations could come out about him.

He could have just kept his mouth shut. Or he could have read the book (Unfit...) and researched it himself to give an educated response. But the resonance that he too was “Unfit for Command” rang his bell.
