We Are All Prisoners of John McCain's Verbal Gitmo
Today, John McCain gave a rousingish speech in Pennsylvania, building his way to this line…
"You and I together will confront the $10 trillion debt the federal government has run up, and balance the federal budget by the end of my term in office. Across this country, this is the agenda I have set before my fellow prisoners and the same standards of clarity and candor must now be applied to my opponent."
And then the audience members fell silent, because they had no idea they were under arrest, probably for palling around with terrorists.
How long is everyone in for, do you think? The usual five and a half years?

And no writ of habeas corpus. Can't we just be friends?
If you were present at that rally then you are guilty of being stupid.
McDrstrangelove and the Governor Avon Lady have sentenced you to an eternity of listnening to a drooling idiot and a concrete smoother.
Has anyone else noticed that Cindy McCain looks kinda like the Crypt Keeper with a wig & makeup?
It's a flashback! He's back in 'Nam! Name/rank/serial number, John. Tell the bastards nothing!
Palin used witchcraft to make Dolly Parton appear to be younger.
This is what we need in a commander in chief. Honesty. He's straight talkin to the american prisoners. I mean, people.
We need to reform our healthcare, and shore up the economy! We need to eat beans baked in the filthy heat of Satan's ass, and make sure we come out of Iraq victorious! My friends, I assure you, as president of these United States only I can make these things happen.
(and let us not forgot that I was a prisoner of war as well, and I didn't have the luxury of baked beans when I wanted them.)
News flash —— It is now official; we have enough precincts reporting to call the diagnosis. George News Network officially declares with his last slip up in Pennsylvania John McCain has won the diagnosis of Pre-Senile Dementia. That means that if elected he would immediately be declared unfit to serve by the Wasilla Wonder Woman who has openly promised to divide Alaska's oil revenues equally among all states that voted for her, well McCain but really her. Palin taped recently in Penn., "Ya don't think I was just standin back here for nothin d'ya."

Or Satan's ass!
Why doesn't McCain just tattoo "Former P.O.W." on his forehead? It'd save so much time. We could all salute (or genuflect, which he truly seems to expect) and then the speech/debate could proceed as scheduled.
Seriously, his experience as a prisoner of war seems to have badly scarred him, and I can understand that. But he also seems not to have exorcised that particular demon; it's always there, in both his conscious and unconscious. His wife claims that he doesn't suffer in any way from PTSD, but I think, in some ways, he's STILL a prisoner of that horrible experience. Senator McCain: get some help. That's what those veterans' benefits are for — the ones you keep voting against.
