Comments on: Media’s love affair with McCain http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/4315 The oldest political news site on the Internet Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:30:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: barak http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/4315/comment-page-1#comment-25586 barak Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-25586 I met John McCain many years ago. I did not know who he was at the time, and my impression of him was that he was one of the most slimey people I had ever met. Later I found out that he was a senator from AZ. That explained it. I am not certain that he can really be called a tragic figure. That gives him some standing as a noble person, which he most definitely is NOT. I can only explain his actions in North Vietnam as either abject stupidity or pre-planning for his eventual political campaigns. Its probably a little of both. I met John McCain many years ago.
