Hip Hip Hooray!!!! The nettle grasped firmly does not sting.
Only problem with the speech?
John McCain was NOT born at Coco Solo Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone
He was born in Colón, PANAMA. Not The Canal Zone, Panama.
Colón is Panamanian, it is now and always has been Panamanian, as long has there has been a Panama. It has never been a US territory.
Hello! I am sorry but my eyes are really fading and I will have to ask that all future replies be submitted through snail mail. In additiion, those will have to be audio recordings.
Thanks for agreeing with me though! I knew wiki coudn’t be incorrect as right-wing as they are.

That's what his birth certificate says. But it is a Canal Zone, not Panamanian document, and Colón was the nearest town to the naval base.
Someone really should ask his mother about it. She does relate hearing the celebration at the O-club after John IIIs birth, but of course that could have been after she and little Johnny went back to their quarters on Coco Solo.
It's hard to believe that if their baby would not be an American citizen if born in the local hospital, that someone like the McCains (father and grandfather Annapolis graduates, and eventually Admirals) would go there in an era when home births were fairly common. Unless there was some indications of a "problem pregnancy" of course. And if there was, I'd think they'd evacuate the mother to be to the nearest *American* hospital, which was likely in the Canal zone. B
