Thanks!

I have intensely disliked John McCain ever since he divorced his first wife a few years after he returned FRom his POW experience. Read all about it at https://people.com/politics/john-mccain-daughter-sidney-first-wife-discuss-divorce/. He married the heiress to the Arizona Budweiser distributorship fortune.

For the record, I knew about his lack of character when I was a serving Naval Officer - he was a known heavy drinker and notorious philanderer before he got shot down - his reputation preceded him.

My knowledge of McCain’s character is second-hand, and inadmissable in a court of law, but the Navy grapevine is generally pretty accurate, and he was roundly disliked and FRequently gossipped about in Naval Aviation circles.

I cannot recall ever hearing a positive comment about him, even during his POW years. Many snippets of gossip were “snarks” about his daddy and granddaddy being four star admirals and his ability to escape his self-caused difficulties because of that fact. He seemed to be his own worse enemy, but skated due to his family connections.

He never disabused me of my long-ago assessment of his lack of character!

I have assiduously followed Rev. King’s advice and did not judge him by the color of his skin!

“I have assiduously followed Rev. King’s advice and did not judge him by the color of his skin!”

Would that color be yellow?
