McCain explains why his boot was on a different foot (it's an innocent mistake)
The Hill ^ | November 23, 2017 | Brett Samuels

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Thursday clarified that his walking boot is on his right foot, adding that he switched it to his left to "give it a break."

McCain caused confusion when he posted a photo from his daughter Meghan's wedding in which his walking boot was on his left foot. He had previously been seen wearing it on his right foot after he suffered a minor tear in his right Achilles tendon.

I can't even remember which leg is supposed to hurt.

Well apparently an injured tendon needs a “break” from healing. Or protection. Or whatever.

It makes no sense.

Can someone explain this to me? I have no background in medicine but this doesn't seem to be correct.

The tendon tear is considered a "normal" side effect of his cancer therapy.

This should raise more concerns about his thinking process rather than his leg.

Obviously faking an injury. And his millionaire bride obviously goes along with it.
In the U.S. ARMY, feigning injury or illness in order to shirk duty is called malingering, and is punishable.

For Ted Kennedy, it was a neck brace. For McInsane, it’s a therapy boot.
Both goldbricking lowlifes.

How about just a simple, “I forgot which one was injured”..

Occams Razor - The wedding was moved way up due to McCain rapidly fading from the glioblastoma. He is not wearing the boot because he is no longer ambulatory. The boot was placed on the wrong foot by an aide after McCain was moved from his wheelchair to the bench for the pictures.

No sense whatsoever.

Unless...

He put it on the other leg because he is not actually injured.

He needed a medical excuse to avoid testifying.

I figured somebody just posted a reversed image...just to break the internet.

Look at the boutonniere (and corsage). That image is not reversed.

Actually, you do use the cane on the strong side. It’s for balance, not structural support.

Makes no sense. He was giving what a break? Giving the boot a break?

Really, IF he was in enough pain to wear the boot, you’d think the last thing he would have wanted to do was take it off the hurting foot/ankle.

Obviously, the elite don’t think like the rest of us.

McInsane is just trying to gain sympathy with a phony injury. We’ll probably find that his brain cancer is fake too.

“”Is it just me, or does that make absolutely no sense?””

It doesn’t make any sense at all. What a doofus! Glad that remark is out there and will be made public so EVERYONE can see just what an idiot he is. The doors to the Senate chamber should be barred to prevent him from entering after that stupid statement. If he wanted to relieve the right foot - why not just take the boot off PERIOD? Or how about wearing it on his head? Would make as much sense!

...For McInsane, it’s a therapy boot...

Formerly, a "Jack Boot." Now known as a "John Boot."
