McCain just lost any speck of respect that I had left for him.
I used to like the guy. A lot. I used to be an idiot, obviously.
John McCain disses an injured soldier at WRMC for a photo op:
A few weeks before Chuck was wounded I watched a TV movie that portrayed Jerk’s time as a POW during Vietnam. I was intrigued by the story and developed a lot of respect for what he endured, and the fact that his wife waited all those years for him to return home. I knew bits and pieces of the story before watching the movie, and I knew his arms were badly damaged due to the torture he received. I had a lot of respect for the man… then I met him.
When he first walked in I was honored to meet him. He shook my hand and Alice’s hand, then walked over to Chuck’s bedside. After a lousy 5 minutes or so, the Jerk said (and I quote):
“Well, we all know what we’re here for… let’s do the photo op.”
