Make Believe Maverick…

McCain is not who you think he is.

I have a new person to direct my ire against.  This illiterate redneck who calls herself “Rose” and whose meandering, misspelled postings are the epitomy of the far-right wing of the republican party posted this:

From “Roseforeveryone.com“  (I do this so the trackback annoys her)

“John McCain has dedicated his life for you all and his country.”

I’m not going to point out the numerous spelling and grammatical issues in this piece, because if I do she’ll just correct the errors, thereby skewing my example of rednecks being illiterate.   (Some people should learn how to use spell-check)

John McCain dedicated his life to serving John McCain.  After graduating 894 out of 899 in his class in Anapolis, he went on to crash 3 airplanes due to pure negligence.  (The other two planes were hit by fire, one friendly (on the Forrestal), one enemy (the one that resulted in his being captured)

Point of fact – people who graduate in the bottom 10 of their class (not 10% mind you, bottom 10) ONLY get to fly if they have an Admiral for a daddy who pulled in a lot of favors.  As a former Navy brat this is well within my scope of knowledge.

Also you might want to check out the following quote, from “The Rolling Stone: Make-Believe Maverick”

….On the grounds between the two brick colleges, the chitchat between the scion of four-star admirals and the son of a prizefighter turns to their academic travels; both colleges sponsor a trip abroad for young officers to network with military and political leaders in a distant corner of the globe.

“I’m going to the Middle East,” Dramesi says. “Turkey, Kuwait, Lebanon, Iran.”

“Why are you going to the Middle East?” McCain asks, dismissively.

“It’s a place we’re probably going to have some problems,” Dramesi says.

“Why? Where are you going to, John?”

“Oh, I’m going to Rio.”

“What the hell are you going to Rio for?”

McCain, a married father of three, shrugs.

“I got a better chance of getting laid.”

Dramesi, who went on to serve as chief war planner for U.S. Air Forces in Europe and commander of a wing of the Strategic Air Command, was not surprised. “McCain says his life changed while he was in Vietnam, and he is now a different man,” Dramesi says today. “But he’s still the undisciplined, spoiled brat that he was when he went in.”

Explain to me why someone who is supposed to be all about Christian Family Values would want to head for Rio to get laid while leaving a Wife and three kids behind?  This is the same wife that shortly after she was crippled in an auto accident, he later ditched for his younger, prettier, and suspiciously un-crippled wife, Cindy.
